Regarding asset allocation mixed class in cash?

Question

In my asset allocation chart, it seems that mutual funds that are mixed allocation for example 68% large cap and 32% small cap are showing allocated to cash in the allocation pie chart.  In a portfolio view sorted on class it shows in asset mixture.  This is a new problem so it may be a setting change I made accidentally.  I also notice on the holdings screen for the account containing this fund there is an asterisk and placeholder note, but there are no placeholder entries to resolve shown in the section at the bottom.

Jim, 
 Thanks the problem was caused by the  all securities/accounts selection.  I think I had used the custom / select all button and then removed anything I didn't want. But now I have selected them individually and that seems to have fixed the problem.  I have not tried the custom asset classes but I will.  I think I will like that better.  Thanks for your help.

Also on the Asset Allocation page, make sure you have selected the correct accounts and securities. Don't rely on "All securities" to select them all; select Custom and make sure the ones you want are selected.

Have you taken advantage of the new capability to define your own asset classes - midcap or precious metals or something in addition to the standard ones?

I think that causes problems with the Asset Allocation chart.
