  1. Lock Open Activities from Editing

    We would like to see an ability for "lock editing" on activities so that only the person who created the activity can make changes. All users and attendees can view, but only the creator (or designated user (s)) can edit.

  2. Automation

    The option to update/set field for UDF does not currently exist in Redtail. You can set a field with the trigger being "Activity Added", but the options of the field to update is limited to:
    Activity Type
    Activity Category
    Activity Importance
    Activity Priority
    So does not include a UDF field.

    Also, we would want the trigger to be Activity Category marked as completed - not added, so the UDF field would be updated once Activity was completed. Otherwise we would have to remember to delete, if Activity is cancelled. Currently a UDF as Review date field for each year. We…

  3. duplicate contact report

    The duplicate report should have additional header choices such as social security number and Date of birth that way you don't need to go individually into those records to figure out if they are duplicates. Also once you combine contacts, they should not stay highlighted. The page should automatically refresh. It is a waste of time to manually refresh or to manually unclick each highlighted record you just combined.

  4. IMPORTANT NOTES

    Just like you post birthday reminders in the green bar on the actual birthday you should have a red alert box at the top with the most important follow up questions from the last call or reminders about what you discussed on the last call. You shouldn't have to click anywhere to see it, it should just be up there.

  5. Be able to add a linked note after an activity is completed

    We have been able to add linked notes to an activity after it was completed for well over a year since I have been using Redtail. I just found out it was a bug and we weren't supposed to be able to do so. This is so much easier and quicker and many less steps to be able to add a linked note after an activity is completed. It should be an available option.

  6. Client Record/Personal Info Automation

    It would be helpful if Redtail had the capability to send out a link via email to a new contact for them to type in their basic info and have it automatically integrated/inputted to update that client's Redtail contact record or create a new one. It would automate the process of obtaining info such as full name, DOB, SSN, address, gender, phone number, email, marital status, employer, financial info (net worth, bank info), beneficiaries, etc.

    I am thinking that we can send a link to a contact, they open the link, type in all of the info, submit it, and…

  7. Import Tool

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I find no area where I am able to do a custom import. It would be helpful to have the ability to import a CSV file to update contacts, workflows, activities, etc. Most CRM systems have this capability.

  8. note document

    When attaching a document to a note, the note category does not attach to the document. We have to go back and edit the document that was uploaded to reflect the category. it would be nice for the document to keep the category.

  9. An account advanced search that allows exporting accounts and displays account instead of contacts.

    we have a contact advance search(what we have now, pulls contacts) but we should have an account advanced search that allows users to see accounts, not contacts based on the search criteria so when they export it's only the accounts in the list.

  10. Short note in summary on workflow listing

    We are trying to implement workflows in our practice. I like them except for the note process. I wish there was a way to put a short note in the workflow view that give a little more detail as to what is currently the hold up on the workflow item.

    For instance, if the next step is obtain client signature, I wish there was a way to put a note as to when the last contact with the client was and what the hold up is. It would be nice to see this on the page with all of the…

  14. RMD Information/Log

    Please create a RMD information tab in the left side panel similar to the UDF, Notes and activates fields. We need a section where we can track all RMDs per year and if they were satisfied. RMD accounts can be satisfied in one account of across multi accounts so we need the ability to customize data and take notes and track if the RMD is completed for the year. We need the RMD data to stand separate from accounts section since we don't enter acct info in redtail. Currently we enter RMD instructions in the UDF, but we need a…

  16. Add Types of Accounts (Insurance/Investment)

    There are too many insurance fields under an account when we primarily have linked investment accounts. It would help clean things up if we could click "add a new account" and then choose "Investment" or "Insurance" to see different lists of fields.

    Coverage info, BICE info, etc does not apply to our investment accounts, but rep code, systematic transactions in/out, bank of record fields would.

  19. customize financial information

    Ability to customize Financial Information section under Know Your Client. Each office / broker dealer has its own requirements for disclosing holdings. For Example:
    Real Estate vs Securities
    DPP vs Non-DPP
    Liquid vs Illiquid

    We should be able to customize the verbiage so we can use the information for filling forms, compliance or marketing.
