  1. Update clients contact photo based off of their linked social media website

    I think it would be great to have the ability for our client's contact record photo be updated to whatever the image they have on their connected social media website. For those who have multiple social media websites, I feel it would be easy to give the advisor a choice on which photo to have system default to use.

  2. Multiple options for UDFs

    We need an option when creating a UDF for a drop down where we can select multiple items for the field. IE: Field name plus list or checkbox of items

  3. Add state of residence of contact without an address

    We ALWAYS know what state a potential client resides in. Any prospective client will gladly tell us what state they reside in because that is crucial to the relationship. States have different laws, different taxes and advisors are only licensed and can do business in certain states. On the flip side, people (in general) are incredibly hesitant to give out their home address until a relationship is built. So we will always know the state and will not know the address until a relationship is built. So adding a state without an address is absolutely crucial. And marketing is very…

  4. Be able to tell when a client's preferred contact method is via text

    On the contact record the preferred function allows us to know whether the account prefers initial contact attempts via phone, email, or mail. With more and more texting solutions coming online for advisors we will soon have the issue of not being able to tell the difference between a client whose preference is a call vs a text. Also, maybe a checkbox next to the phone numbers that let us know for clients that have phones that text, whether the client themselves are comfortable enough using text messages to do any communication via text.

  5. Add calculated UDF capability

    Having the option to create UDFs that are calculated based on other fields would be immensely beneficial. Potential uses include:

    • Automatic RMD calculation

      • Automatically adjust divisor based on client age
      • Automatically calculate RMD given 12/31 balance and divisor
      • Could create a "Remaining RMD" field that can help track distributions taken to-date
    • Better reporting on time-based activities -- fields can auto-update based on date triggers

    • Client groupings that update automatically based on age, AUM, etc.

  6. Turn off auto creation of employer records

    Give the database owner the ability to turn off the auto creation of employer contract records. I find it annoying to have records created for employers as I don't ever use them and they don't get categorized properly.

  7. add a marital status

    I would like to add "Minor" as a Marital Status option for dependent clients with accounts linked to parents or grandparents. In addition to the additional status, I would like a notification when the minor reaches age of majority so their Marital Status can be changed to "Single" or whatever the case may be.

  8. 401k Clients & Prospects

    Make Redtail more user-friendly and appropriate for 401k/403b/Etc. advisor services. If the contact is a business and a client or prospect - it should have options to record: Plan type, Assets, participant count, service providers (recordkeeper/TPA), and plan number. Not information like male/female, age, height, weight, citizenship, etc. None of that information is appropriate to a business,so there should be fields that would automatically change input information required depending on if the contact record was a business or an individual.

  12. Distinguishing minor children from adult children

    It would be ideal to be able to distinguish minor children (who need to have the same contact info as the parent) from adult children (who need different address/phone, etc., from the parent), yet still be able to see them in the same list (not half in Memberships and half in the family area).

  13. multiple contact status and categories

    It would be great if we could select multiple status and categories for contact records. For instance, we have business relationship - Active for a Contact Status. I would like to be able to select more than one Category, for instance COI and Vendor.

  14. List Referrals for a client on their contact page

    Add a feature where we could see all the referrals made by a client via their contact record. This would enable us to see who our greatest referral sources are and keep track of names referred to us.

  16. bulk client type change

    would be incredibly helpful to have an option to bulk change client type(go from association or business to individual) as when our files were imported a TON of individual clients were input as business or association. it will take a long time to correct individually.

    Under Licensing, it would be nice to have a section to record agent's state insurance licenses, including state, number, effective date and expiration date, with the ability to set alerts (30 or 60-day) for upcoming renewals.

  18. When adding a new contact for a husband and a wife, more then just the address & phone # should be added for the spouse

    All the fields should be defaulted to copy the first entry, The permissions, tags,teams, status, category, source. Referred by, servicing advisor, writing advisors. etc. Why do these fields not auto-populated from the spouse?

  20. Viewing permissions for contact list

    Permissions to view all contacts from the contact page for everyone, but deny permissions to select and view the individual record and/or account. We don't want duplicate clients. We have situations where one agent is securities licensed and takes care of the fiducial side and a separate agent takes care of the insurance (and is not securities licensed. Giving permission to both to view the record does not meet compliance.
