Is there any way I can include an indicator in a layout that will automatically graph the sector in the background for any stock chart I am viewing?
Thanks,
Darrell

You can do this by getting data for each sector then associating sectors with stocks.
Later you can use "GetSeries" function to plot the sector data.
a = GetSeries(sector(), close);
plot(a, "");

Associate an industry with a stock then a sector with an industry (Symbol -> Update Symbol)

A blog or video would be great.
Are you suggesting we do this manually for 600 stocks?

You can associate industries to stocks using "Symbol -> Auto Symbols". Select exchanges you are interested in and make sure you check "Force update of symbol information".

Instead of the manual association of industry to sector, can it be done through the global script?

Industry to sector association is done automatically using "(Symbol -> Update Symbol)"

I guess u meant "Symbol-->Auto-Manage Symbols". If my understanding is correct, this is in case I am managing my database through yahoo or other sources which are mapped by you there?
If my database is my own or a paid 3rd party database and I manage the symbol info myself, then I guess we need to do the manual industry assignment to sectors under "Symbol-->Categories-->Industry".
I am thinking if we can have something similar to Symbols.AddSector or Symbols.AddIndustry. Something like Symbols.IndustrytoSector("Metals & Mining","Materials").

You are correct.
But this function already exists:
Symbols.AddIndustry("Industry", "Sector");
It adds an industry and associates it with the sector.
