Tip of the Month

New Client Lookup Feature in Proposal/Plan Creation

You can now search clients more easily when creating proposals and financial plans. The new lookup feature will quickly find you the right person from all your existing clients.

Proposal

In the “Client” dropdown of a new Proposal, there are three options: “New Client,” “New Entity,” and the new “Existing Client” selection.

Client

When you select “Existing Client” and the number of your clients is less than 50, all clients will be listed under a new dropdown.

Existing Client

When you select “Existing Client” and the number of your clients is greater than 50, the popup displays a client lookup and you can input the name to find the client.
