Paritech's recommended setting for all
standard ASX data clients in DD3 can be seen in image
below . This means ticking the four tick boxes as
displayed.

NOTE:
for those clients that wish to use DD3 but do not wish to lose
the useability of their existing Shares database eg Favourites,
Layouts etc it is recommended that the "ASX Everything"
option be selected. This
option is the same as if you where still running DD2.
As can be seen from the screen above DD3 has a very straight
forward interface. Using DD3 is simply a matter of selecting
which database's clients wishs to create then click "Update". DD3
will then create and automatically maintain each database, this
includes carrying out automatic maintenance for stock splits,
consolidations, dilutions etc. DD3 will also automatically fix
any corrupted data file.DD3 will also remove any stocks that
have not traded for 3 months.
PLEASE NOTE: should a deleted stock re enter
the market then DD3 will automatically re install all the data
for that stock
