Clients love seeing their financial closet in order. Financial professionals enjoy the ease of conversation at client meetings. You have specific ideas about how best to manage the client's resources and you would like to provide those recommendations to your client.

There are a number of tools for this purpose. Here's a rundown:

Use the Primary Member's Notes Page

(Detailed information here: Notes)

  • Enter your recommendations on the primary member's Notes tab.

    • Click on the Member's name or avatar to open the client's information pages.

    • Click on the Notes tab.

    • Enter and format your notes. Use the formatting tools provided. We recommend you do not copy/paste notes from another application.

    • Press Update.

    • Press the Notes report page to view all notes.

    • Include the Notes as part of the comprehensive client-facing report, or produce the Notes report as an independent document.


Use the Relationship Map

(Detailed information here: Relationship Maps)

  • Add text boxes on the client's relationship map

    • Open the Relationships page of the household.

    • Open the Visual view.

    • Click the "add text" option on the toolbar.

    • Add Notes as desired.

    • Click Update.

    • Assign the new priority the appropriate urgency.

    • The notes you added are on the Notes report page. Generate the electronic copy as an individual page or part of a comprehensive report from the Reports page.


Use Drafts

(Detailed information here: Drafts)

  • Show them your recommendations using Drafts.

    • Open Drafts mode by clicking "Drafts" on the Actions menu (or right-click/alt-click on the map and select Drafts from the actions menu).
