Financial Planning Tab in Clients
I would love to see the addition of a Financial Planning tab under the contact record. It would be a summary page of where a client is. It may have things like whether they have a will or not, when that will was done, when we last asked about the will to make sure it is reflects current wishes. It would have places for outside accounts or insurance policies (for a placeholder for accounts we don't have downloading in and won't mess up our AUM numbers). It can be any current contributions strategy or withdrawal strategy or have places to…

add a household portfolio balance option
When a client is married you should have the option to see the household portfolio balance not just the individual portfolio balance on the main screen.

RMD Ages in Contact Information
Someone just emailed me asking about putting the client age in years and months (78.8 years) so they can see the client's exact age for, example, taking a withdrawal without penalty. They suggested it would be in the Contact Details under the DOB. Thanks!

Add More Marital Status Options
Right now there are only 7 Marital Status options: Divorced, Life Partner, Married, Separated, Single, Unknown and Widowed. I would like Redtail to add "Divorced and Remarried" and "Widowed and Remarried" as two new options. If there is a change in divorce law, we'd like to filter our clients and send correspondence to any client who is divorced or has previously been divorced, but Redtail only allows the marital status of a divorced and remarried person to simply be "Married". Additionally, a widowed and remarried person often has different estate planning goals we should be sensitive to (i.e. leaving inheritance…

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

Auto-Assign CSA Role Based on Advisor
It would be nice to, upon creation of a new client record, assign the CSA Role automatically based on the Writing and Servicing Advisor combinations. i.e. If the new contact's Writing Advisor is John and Servicing Advisor Joe, the CSA role would automatically assign to Jane.

Trusted Contact Field on Contact Card
Can you PLEASE add a field for Trusted Contact information on the Contact Record card? Also, please add a check box that can be marked if the client declines to provide this information. Thank you!

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.

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.

Adding Additional Roles
It would be WONDERFUL if we could create additional roles to be able to fully customize to our office needs since we have more than just the advisor, aa, and csa.

Enable user defined fields to have a customizable order
I think it is key to enable user defined fields to have a customizable order, not just alphabetical. This would allow users to format and better fit UDF's to their specific needs. I know that we are evaluating other options for our CRM needs because of the lack in customization with UDF's, if there were more options on this front, it would allow us to stay with Redtail.

Trusted Contact
Under the contact record, can we please add fields for "Trusted Contacts"? We need to record the name, address, phone, and email of Trusted Contacts in a way that is easy to find. We are currently adding it to the "Important Information", but having a specific field in the contact info would be more helpful. It would also be nice if there was a checkbox somewhere that you could click if Trusted Contact is "declined", as this is something required going forward.

insurance license
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.

Fix Contact Photo
Allow us to upload an image that is not square, we previously would upload all client Driver's Licenses, and crop the photo! It was great, we had a Client photo for everyone and quick access to all their DL info. It now cuts off the edges since no State has a square DL. Please fix this, this is a deal breaker for me.

Add roles to the main page for a contact
Instead of having the redundant "Servicing and "Writing" advisor on the main page under contact details, put the Roles in these spots. Because the roles are associated with workflows, It is important to have them in an easy to see place instead of on a random page that is easily forgettable.

Husband & Wife as One
Many of my married clients share everything, some even only have one email that they share. What is difficult currently with RedTail is that everything is recorded separately. So notes, emails, documents, reminders, etc. are only connected to one of the two contacts. It would be extremely helpful if we had an option to link the two so that everything that I see in one contact (notes, emails, documents, reminders, etc.) will also show on the other. So no matter which of the two spouses that I open, I will be able to see everything.
It would also be nice…

Servicing Advisor = Advisor Role
Workflows are best used when tasks are assigned to different "roles" within each firm. If we went to the trouble to assign a Servicing Advisor to every contact, why now do we also need to assign an Advisor Role to every contact? Seems redundant.
Sure, you can do a bulk change to assign all servicing advisors the advisor role. But why? If contacts are always getting added, how frequently should you need to run these bulk actions before running a workflow. Recipe for mistakes...
