Enhancement Release 12.70 -Advisor Disclosure Tracking
- Chantel Munroe
Timeline
Overview of Changes
In order to create additional efficiency and reduce the manual work required to identify and track changes to Advisor disclosures over time. We have implemented the following improvements:
Created a new feature which provides a visual comparison to track Advisor disclosures over time
The system will present a side-by-side view of previous disclosure to current
The system will only display the modified responses
The display format is the same as the existing ASQ questionnaire and is downloadable
Added document links and timestamps to Profile Snapshots on a go forward basis
As part of the transition a new profile snapshot will be created for all active advisors to ensure the system can start tracking incremental updates right away
Advisor Disclosure Tracking
In the Profile Snapshot area, clients will have the option to select ‘What Changed’ to easily identify the incremental disclosures changes made by an Advisor.
The feature will not be available for newly onboarded advisors when their first profile snapshot is generated as there are no changes to compare.
The feature will not be available for historical profile snapshots and will apply to Profile Snapshots created after this change goes live
When the 'What Changed' button is selected, a new tab will open which renders in the same format as the existing ASQ Questionnaire.
The feature will display the incremental change from the previous profile snapshot to the current one
The feature will display the specific responses which have been modified. A modification includes any change to the radio button (Yes/No response), text or supporting documents
For supporting documentation, the system will provide the name and timestamp associated with the document as a clickable link to download the document.
The comparison page is available for download as required by the client
Once downloaded, if you access the document links from the downloaded version you will need to re-authenticate/login to the application to download a copy of the supporting document(s)
In order to ensure alignment between previous to current disclosures, there are two scroll bars available for both displays. In addition, the user can also click on any question or header (in either section) to align both documents to the top of the screen automatically
There may be instances where the ‘What Changed’ button is available to click, but for which there has not been a changed to the content of the profile snapshot.
This can occur when an Advisor has not made a change to their disclosures during Attestation (and has selected 'No Change' for all questions) or
Due to certain contracting actions which generate a profile snapshot.
In this case, the user will be presented with a pop-up to let them know that there have been no changes to the content of that particular profile snapshot.
Update to Profile Snapshots & Attestation
Document links with timestamps have been added to the Attestation, Profile Snapshot and Advisor Disclosure Tracking areas in the application. These changes will take affect on a go-forward basis only once the changes are activated in production.
We are currently unable to render document images related to the file extension attached due to current backend limitations, this will be resolved in a future release.
When the document link is selected, the associated document will be downloaded. However, the links will be visible, but will not be clickable during the Attestation process.
