Sync Account Access Permissions to Advisor Rebalancing

Most of you have spent a significant amount of time setting up account permissions, which determine the accounts that each user in your firm can access. If you also use Advisor Rebalancing, it's probably an inconvenience to then enter the same account permissions again in Advisor Rebalancing. To save you from entering the same information more than once, Tamarac can now give Advisor Rebalancing users the same account permissions that they have in Advisor View.

To enable this new functionality at your firm, please contact your Tamarac service team.

More Powerful Themes & Color Assignments

With this release, we've added the following options to give you more control over the appearance of your dynamic and PDF reports:

We've added these powerful features to the new Report Themes page that is accessible from the Setup menu. We've also added all of the functionality from the Color Assignments page to the new Report Themes page. As a result, we've removed the Color Assignments page. But you can find all the functionality from the Color Assignments page on the Report Themes page.

For more information, visit Report Themes.

Comparative Review Updates

In the November 2013 release of Advisor View, we delivered the Comparative Review report, which shows consolidated totals for your accounts. In the following release of Advisor View, we made the report even better by adding category values and weights columns to the report. With this release, you can now add the report to the Advisor View dynamic dashboard and client portals, customize how the reports display in the dynamic and PDF dashboards, and control whether SMA and security group categories should be used.

Bulk Upload Billing Groups & Billing Group Accounts

If you want to make changes to large amounts of billing data, Advisor View now supports the ability to upload billing groups and the billing group accounts. For example, let's say you want to add a discount to all billing groups. Instead of adding the discount one by one, you can upload a Billing Group Information upload data set with the discount and then upload the information into Advisor View.

To support this change, we've added the following upload data sets:

To take advantage of this new functionality, you'll need to maintain your accounts in Advisor View. If you think you'd like to take advantage of this functionality, please contact your Tamarac service team.
