If you would like to manually override any instrument data (as of PropReports version 1.7.84) you can use a comma-separated values (CSV) file. Please follow RFC 418 guidelines when creating CSV files. Notably, if you will have field values with commas, the field value must be in quotes.

Note

Notes:

  • An instrument file cannot be deleted via the Upload Log. If you need to correct any inaccurate instrument uploads, you must upload a correct instrument file and it will over-write the previous upload.
  • The source of "Manual" must be used to FORCE an update.  Once an instrument is set to "Manual", it will be considered permanent, and will no longer be dynamically updated by differing (non-price) information received from other sources.
  • Though Although the Price field is required for file format to be recognized, you do NOT need to specify any close prices for the instruments in your file if you wish to preserve the closing prices that already present in your instance.
