🎉🎉🎉Introducing Relationships Maps🎉🎉🎉
A family tree is nothing new. But, how about a "relationships map" that allows for improved visualizations of a client's relationship structures?
We are excited to announce the launch of Asset-Map's new feature designed to enhance the Conversational Planning paradigm. This tool allows you to fully understand and visualize the various relationships your clients have, helping you and your client see how these connections fit into their personal or financial situation. You can now create visually appealing and highly editable maps that represent Trust, Business, Family, and other relationships, enabling more meaningful conversations with your clients. Learn more here.
👉We've renamed the "Members" page to "Relationships" on the Asset-Map Household's menu. This provides a more accurate indicator that you now document and visualize not just the member components on the Asset-Map, but that you catalog the important acquaintences and entities that are ancillary to a map as well.
👉We've also rolled out an improvement to our Target-Map interface. Now you'll find the Target-Map's story tabs at the top of the edit interface. Don't lose them!
10/3/2024
Helpful updates to make conversations easier include:
Adding contingent beneficiary to Beneficiary Check list, Policy Summary, and PDFs.
Adding Medical and Other insurance types to the Policy Summary page.

👉Questionnaire Notifications
You asked and we listened. Those of you on the Elite Subscription tier are learning about the amazing features Elite subscribers have - one of them being Questionnaires. We are rolling out notifications when a household completes their Questionnaire. You'll get an email and in-app notification. All notifications are adjustable on the User Preferences page in the Notifications section. Woot!
