Magnifier icon: provides the possibility to search for data on other screens. If you are not aware of the exact/correct value of an input field, but you know other related data, click on the magnifier icon to enter the search screen. There you can enter all information known to you and execute a search. By clicking on the select button, you are redirected to the initial screen, and the desired data are entered in the respective fields.
In the Demo, this function is only available for the securities account search/list screen and the security account – new/edit screen.

Add row, delete row and update row buttons: change a list by adding, deleting or updating entries. No data change takes place until you click on the submit button.
General Functions
Welcome Screen
The welcome screen is the entrance into the T2S Demo. Here you can choose the T2S system user reference with which you act within the Demo. After you have selected one T2S system user reference, the associated logo will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen (white labelling). The welcome screen also contains a ticker line providing you with the latest information (here: Welcome to TARGET2-SECURITIES at SIBOS 2012).
Wildcard search
In most enter fields on a search screen you can use the wildcard search. This function enables you to search for data, when one or more characters of the input values are missing. You can search with the wildcard search by substituting the missing characters with the wildcard character “*”, e.g. “TARGET2*” for “TARGET2-Securities”. The results will contain all data records beginning with “TARGET2”.
Wildcards can be located at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of an entry. The combination of several wildcards directly after each other (e.g. TARGET**) is not possible. You have to type in at least 2 characters before the wildcard character. Exceptionally, for the security short name fields and party short name fields, a wildcard character can only be entered after at least 4 characters.
Online Help
The content of the Demo User Guide can be accessed from the T2S Demo by clicking on the help button. The online help is context sensitive, which means that the screen reference corresponding to the current screen is displayed. Other parts of the online help can be reached using the table of contents on the left side of the help window.
