LDC #129: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 3: Analysis

It’s time to finish up our base script for our Section 16 data scraper. In the first two parts of this series we started a script that would go out to the SEC’s website, download all of the filings from a particular CIK, cache all of the Section 16 filings, find all of the reported transactions, and put those transactions into a CSV file. This week we are going to finish up the base functionality by reading through all of the transactions and finding the current holdings. Additionally we are going to perform a large amount of refactoring as well as add in the functionality to look at reported holdings.

LDC #128: Checkbox and Radio Button Controls Part 2

The radio button is a common tool used to select a single option among multiple choices within a dialog box. In part two of this series, we will be covering the radio button and taking the mystery out of the “group box” and the operation of automatic radio buttons. In addition, the combo box will also be examined as an alternative.

LDC #127: Checkbox and Radio Button Controls Part 1

For user selection controls within dialog boxes, there are three conventional options: checkboxes, radio buttons and list/combo boxes. Each has its application since each has its strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes developers make poor choices concerning which of the three to use on their on dialogs or web pages. Bad implementations may still work, but they provide a less intuitive user experience, and these uses may not be in the spirit for which the controls were designed. Hopefully this article will help improve your knowledge and therefore ability to choose a selection control through providing information on how each type works.

LDC #126: Dialog Boxes Part V (continued) — Writing and Reading Information with a Data Control

In this discussion of dialog boxes, I will continue to explore the data control by looking at how we can manipulate the content and retrieve data. As mentioned in Part V, the Data Control and Data View share many of the same functions as well as the same base, the Data Sheet. If you would like to review part 1, it is available here.

LDC #125: Advanced Application of EDAC: Importing NPORT Part C

A few weeks ago, I did a blog post introducing the “EDAC” functions in Legato with a very brief example of how to create an NPORT filing and fill in a few fields. Well, I thought we would take that a few steps further, and show how you can use that to create an import function for a complex table like the Part C section of NPORT. This table is fairly involved because it has three possible layers of sublists (lists contained in other lists), and we’ll need to keep track of this. Therefore, this blog is going to discuss a lot of “level 1”, “level 2”, and “level 3” tables, all of which occur within a single data table. To help visualize what exactly is meant by these different levels, take a look at this screenshot from GoFiler:
