Introduction

Notes in Advisor View 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, meeting notes, and compliance issues can be documented in accounts using notes.

Because notes can be used for different reasons, 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.

Notes are used extensively for trading tasks. For more information on notes in Advisor Rebalancing, see Learn More About Notes.
