Saving an Instrument in the Single Option Page

From the Single Option page you can save an instrument using the Save Quote button.

Before you can save an instrument, you must first calculate it. Subsequently, when you save it, any calculated rates (for example, the fixed rate or the spread) are saved in the system as though they were manually edited by the user. This is true even if these rates were not edited by the user. When you next open this instrument the calculated rates are displayed as they were saved. To emphasize that they were saved as user inputs, these fields are highlighted in blue.

Instruments saved from the Single Option page are saved into the Recent Deals directory in SD-IR Explorer. For more information on accessing saved deals see Opening a Saved Instrument in the Single Option Page ).
