Enhancement Release 12.0.0 -Attestation -Foundational Improvements

Attestation -Foundational Improvements

In preparation for the enhancement release for Attestation which will focus on simplify the advisor experience by retaining previous documentation and responses, we have introduced some foundational changes.

Compliance Documents/Attachments

To facilitate the attestation process and provide additional information to clients we have made the following improvements:

  1. Display both the document name (existing) and date stamp (new) to the Advisor and to clients for each document/attachment

    • Where an uploaded document has a long name, the full name will only be visible when hovered upon to ensure visual alignment on the page

  2. Standardize the experience when uploading multiple files to mimic the UI experience in other areas of the application

  3. These changes have been applied to display for existing historical documents as well as, new documents when they are added

These changes apply to the following areas to ensure a uniform user experience. 

·       Onboarding a new Advisor profile

·       Edits made to an existing Advisor profile  

·       During Advisor Attestation 

In addition, the document name and date stamp has been added to the Profile History Section to assist in more efficient identification of changes to attachments/supporting documentation
