When viewing Advisor View PDF reports, sometimes it's confusing to visualize indexes when the index colors vary between reports - for example, green may represent S&P 500 on one report and Russell 1000 on another.
To make the visualization of indexes easier, you can assign a color to an index. The colors you specify can be shared by your dynamic and PDF reports, creating a consistent look and feel for all reports and portal sites.
You can even create "color assignments." Color assignments sets of colors that Advisor View will assign to indexes, graphs, and categories. You can then assign these color assignments to your client views and PDF templates.
The color assignments you set will appear on the following reports:
Account Performance
Asset Allocation
PDF Holdings
PDF Projected Income
PDF Bond Analysis
PDF Position Performance
To assign a color to an index, follow these steps:
On the Setup menu, click Color Assignments.
In the Select a color assignment list, choose Create new color assignment.
In the Color assignment name box, type a name for the color assignment. With Advisor View, you can create multiple color assignment templates and assign them to specific report templates as necessary.
If you want to set the color assignments as the default color assignments that you see on the dynamic reports, select the Set as my color assignment for dynamic reports check box.
Under Color Options, in the View list, click Indexes.
For the index where you want to assign a color, clear the Use Default Color check box. If you select this check box, Advisor View will automatically assign a color to the color option.
Click Change. The Color Selection window appears. Select a color from the grid or by clicking on any part of the colored area below. You can also enter an exact hexadecimal value in the large box. Click off the Color Selection window to close the dialog.
When finished assigning color categories, click Save.
You now have greater control over how you view the dynamic Asset Allocation Report. Now you can view separately managed account (SMA) holdings at the group level that are based on the separately managed account customizations you've set up in Schwab Performance Technologies® PortfolioCenter™.
To check out this new feature, follow these steps:
On the Reports menu, click Asset Allocation.
Click Edit.
Select the Use SMA categories check box, and then click Apply.
In the November release of Advisor View, we released the Projected Income Report, which shows you expected income from dividends, principal repayments, and coupons. While many of you were excited about the report, you wanted the ability to view projected income for separately managed accounts as a single line item.
With this release of Advisor View, we're excited to announce that we've added the ability to view projected income for separately managed accounts as a single line item on the Projected Income Report.
To see this new feature, follow these steps:
On the Reports menu, click Projected Income.
Click Edit.
Do one of the following:
To view SMA projected income at the group level, select the Report SMAs as a single line item check box.
To view a detailed breakout of the SMA projected income, clear the Report SMAs as a single line item check box.
Click Apply.
After this release, when you view the Capital Flows Report, withdrawals will now show as a negative number. Before this release, withdrawals appeared as a positive number. Withdrawals will also show as a negative number when you export the report to Excel®.
With this release, you can also customize the color for each item that appears on the graphs on the Account Performance Report.
These items include:
Accounts
Allocation Weighted Benchmarks
Benchmarks
You can even create "color assignments." Color assignments sets of colors that Advisor View will assign to indexes, graphs, and categories. You can then assign these color assignments to your client views and PDF templates. For more information on color assignments, visit Report Themes.
To assign colors to the graph items on the Account Performance Report, follow these steps:
On the Setup menu, click Color Assignments.
In the Select a color assignment list, choose Create new color assignment.
In the Color assignment name box, type a name for the color assignment. With Advisor View, you can create multiple color assignment templates and assign them to specific report templates as necessary.
If you want to set the color assignments as the default color assignments that you see on the dynamic reports, select the Set as my color assignment for dynamic reports check box.
Under Color Options, in the View list, click Account Performance.
For the graph item where you want to assign a color, clear the Use Default Color check box.
Click Change. The Color Selection window appears. Select a color from the grid or by clicking on any part of the colored area below. You can also enter an exact hexadecimal value in the large box. Click off the Color Selection window to close the dialog.
When finished, click Save.
We've improved the Realized Gains and Losses Report by adding totals and subtotals for the Cost Basis and Net Proceeds columns of the report.
In this release, we've improved the performance of the Accounts page. When expanding a reporting group that has a large number of underlying accounts, you'll now find that the page loads much faster than in previous releases.
