Quick Note: Client Asset-Maps cannot be updated using Discovery. Discovery is used for fact-finding, making new Households and Maps only.
Discovery is Asset-Map's consumer-friendly online interview that helps advisors gather financial information from prospects. When the prospect completes the questionnaire a Household and corresponding Asset-Map is created within the Advisor's book of business (Household Index).
It can also be used to easily create an Asset-Map for current clients who do not yet have one. Discovery cannot be used for ongoing updates after the Asset-Map is created. Current Asset-Maps cannot be updated using Discovery.
This article walks through the features of the Discovery Administration page.
Access
Access the administration page in one of three ways:
Click the Discovery button on the Asset-Map dashboard page.
Select the Discovery option from the platform drop-down menu found under the Advisor's name in the upper right area.
Click the Add Household button and choose Discovery "Get Started".
Features
Send an Invitation
Create a Discovery Interview invitation using our Outbound tool to send to a prospect. Click the "Initiate Interview" button after typing the Recipient's name and selecting the preferred currency. This creates a client's interview link. You can then decide how to utilize the client's link.
Post your Inbound Link
Optionally, use the Inbound Link. The Inbound Link is your public personal link which you can use in various ways.
Copy your link (click the "Copy" icon) and attach it to outbound marketing emails, attach it to a webpage button, or save it as a desktop shortcut on a mobile device to start a new Discovery as needed (great for waiting rooms).
Start the interview now by clicking the Open Link arrow button.
Or generate and use the QR code of your link by clicking the QR icon.
If you do not have the inbound link available, and your organization has authorized its use, consider upgrading your subscription.
(Please check with your firm's compliance department for any restrictions.)
