International Market Support, Enhanced Security, and Reseller Management
November brings significant expansion to ShareLink’s international capabilities with comprehensive London Stock Exchange (LSE) support, enhanced currency handling across global markets, and improved security features. We’ve also streamlined reseller management processes and introduced announcement exclude lists for more precise content control. These updates position ShareLink as a truly global investor relations platform while maintaining the robust automation and customization you rely on.
New Features
Feature: Enhanced Advanced Market Data Widget for All Supported Exchanges
Benefit: The advanced market data widget now properly displays pricing and financial information across all supported international exchanges, including correct currency formatting and market-specific data presentation. This ensures accurate financial information display regardless of whether your company is listed on ASX, LSE, NASDAQ, or other supported exchanges, with automatic currency and pricing format adjustments that match each market’s conventions.
Feature: Automatic Currency Symbol Integration
Benefit: Currency symbols now automatically appear based on your exchange’s local currency, providing clear context for all price-related data across international markets. Whether displaying prices in AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, or other supported currencies, stakeholders immediately understand the currency context without confusion, improving clarity for international investors viewing your financial information.
Feature: Announcement Exclude Lists
Benefit: Create custom exclude lists to filter out specific announcement types from your widgets and displays, giving you precise control over which communications appear to different stakeholder audiences. For specialized requirements—such as hiding incorrect announcements that have been replaced or complying with geographical regulations for dual-listed companies—our support team can manually configure exclusions. For example, certain announcements may need to be hidden from US IP addresses while remaining visible in Australia, or removed entirely to meet specific regulatory requirements.
Feature: Enhanced Reseller Management System
Benefit: Streamlined reseller-client linking process with approval workflows, automated email notifications, and confirmation pages ensures smoother account management for reseller partnerships. Clients can now link to resellers with proper approval processes, and the system prevents subscription downgrades that would remove essential features, protecting both reseller relationships and client functionality.
Feature: Advanced Security and Authentication
Benefit: Enhanced login validation, custom token authentication, and API login capabilities provide more secure access while enabling advanced integration possibilities. These security improvements protect your account while allowing for sophisticated automation and third-party integrations where needed.
Improvements
Feature: Advanced Market Data Widget Customization Controls

This customization allows you to focus stakeholder attention on the most relevant financial metrics for your company’s current situation and investor relations strategy, creating cleaner displays that highlight your key performance indicators.
Feature: Enhanced Widget Performance and Loading
Benefit: Asynchronous iframe loading improves page performance and user experience when displaying ShareLink widgets on your investor pages. Faster loading times ensure stakeholders can access your financial information quickly without waiting for complex data retrieval processes.
Feature: Improved Announcement Timing Accuracy
Benefit: Enhanced timestamp handling prevents announcement ordering issues when multiple announcements are released simultaneously, ensuring your announcement feeds display in the correct chronological sequence. This improvement maintains accurate communication timelines for stakeholders tracking your corporate updates.

These improvements eliminate currency conversion inconsistencies and ensure your international stakeholders see accurate, properly formatted financial information.

FAQ
1. How does the enhanced advanced market data widget work across different exchanges?
The advanced market data widget now automatically formats pricing and financial information according to each exchange’s conventions.

Currency symbols automatically display based on your exchange’s local currency. The system shows AUD for ASX companies, USD for NASDAQ, EUR for European exchanges, GBP for LSE, and adapts formatting and calculations to match each exchange’s specific conventions and standards.
3. What can I exclude using the announcement exclude lists?
You can filter out specific announcement types and categories from your widgets and displays. For individual announcements or specialized compliance requirements—such as hiding replaced announcements or meeting geographical regulations for dual-listed companies—our support team can manually configure exclusions. For example, we can serve different widgets to US IP addresses versus Australian IP addresses, or remove specific announcements entirely to meet regulatory requirements.
4. How does the enhanced reseller management process work?

You can turn on or off specific metrics including earnings per share and price-to-equity ratio displays. This allows you to customize which financial indicators appear based on your investor relations strategy and the metrics most relevant to your stakeholder communications.

The security improvements operate transparently in the background, providing better protection without changing your normal login or usage experience. Enhanced authentication ensures your account remains secure while maintaining the same ease of access you’re accustomed to.
7. Do I need to make any changes to benefit from the international market improvements?
