Date Shortcut Use
Date Shortcuts allows easier deal entry for common delivery periods. For example if you wanted to book a Summer 16 trade , instead of typing in Start Date = 1st April 2016 , End Date = 30th Sept 2016 , the Date Shortcuts allows you to type in Sum16 into the Start Date field and it will correctly fill in the Start Date and the End Date.
This allows trade entries for delivery periods much easier and intuitive.
Date Shortcut Setup
The Date Shortcuts are setup in Admin Manager à Static Data à Date Shortcuts
The Date Sequence table can handle both symbolic dates as well as specific absolute dates. Using both makes this a very flexible piece of functionality.

| WD | 0d | 0d |
| BOW | 1d | 1fri |
| BOM | 1d | 1lom |
