Introduction
Notes in Advisor Rebalancing allow you to add documentation to accounts that can be widely seen by other users who handle those accounts. Client wishes, account changes, alerting to special circumstances, trading notes, and other issues, including compliance issues, can be documented in accounts using notes.
Because notes can be used for different reasons and can alert you to important information, there are many ways to add notes to accounts. In addition, users with permission to do so can also edit or delete old account notes and create bulk reports to review account notes.
