  1. UDFs should be able to be used in the advanced search feature.

    It would be really helpful if we could use UDFs in the advanced search feature, allowing us to filter by more than one report. We need to be able to search by advisor AND specific UDFs. This would make UDFs much more useful, especially for RMDs.

  2. Ability to send broadcast email as the advisor

    Instead of my advisor having to log in and send out the broadcast emails, it would be better if there was a way to "send as" so the broadcast emails come from my advisor and not me.

  3. Custom Export more spouse fields

    When creating a new custom export, all of the spouse's information is not available to add. i.e. retirement date, age etc. All of the information is in redtail but cannot be exported. Can we add those two fields?

  4. Show whose database you're in..

    Please add a feature that shows you which database you are in.

    i.e. have the advisor's name on the top of the page to the right of the search contacts bar.

    For those of us who need to switch back and forth a lot it's easy to forget which advisor's database you are in. Also if you could make it simpler to switch databases (like a one click switch instead of 3 clicks) that would also be much appreciated!

  5. Broadcast Email Template Automation

    it would be nice if redtail could send an email template automatically on a client's account anniversary/annual review. Right now I have to manually send a template to the client.

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. Apply different time zones to different events in Calendar

    When creating/editing events in the Calendar, we should be able to enter a time zone for that specific event, so that it adapts to each time zone. Very difficult to schedule events that do not occur in the same time zone as they were created.

  9. 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...

  11. Linking Activities, Workflows, Notes, Documents, & Opportunities

    Add ability to link Activities to Workflows (by Contact Linked like Accounts). Should be able to link multiple activities and/or workflows.

    Add ability to link Workflows to Activities (by Contact Linked like Accounts). Should be able to link multiple activities and/or workflows.

    Add ability to link Activities and Workflows to each other as there are times multiple processes happening all at one time that I dependent on each other.

    Add ability to link multiple Notes to Activities and Workflows.

    Add ability to link Documents (Specific documents or Specific Folders) to Activities and Workflows.

    Add ability to link Opportunities to Activites…

  12. Head of Household Display

    Please add some sort of indication on the client profiles for the head of household. Maybe a green box around their profile picture or even just say "head of household" beside their name. I don't care what it looks like but we need some distinction.

  13. Open Activities from Today screen - order of Past Due

    When you choose "Past due" activities, it starts with the oldest, and separates them onto multiple pages. When you try to order newest to oldest, it only orders THAT PAGE, which is useless. I need to see my Past Due from the most recent to the oldest. There is no way to do that efficiently. You have to find your last page, order that page, work through that, then go to the next page and work through that. It's very clunky. Please allow ALL Past Due activities to be ordered from newest to oldest, not just the current page.

  14. Retriever and Outlook calendar - link to contact based on email address of invitee

    When using retriever, it would be nice if when synching from outlook calendar to Redtail that the meeting could be linked to a redtail contact based on email address of the people invited to the meeting. This woudl remove a manual step in linking the contact after opening the calendar item in Redtail.

  16. Full date display for activities

    Please Please Please start using the full date and year, not just the day or month and day. It is so easy to get this confused when trying to sort out activities. Reviewing a list of future activities and past activities is my best way of getting an overview of what's happening, and I have to pause to figure out what date and/or year I'm looking at.

  17. Using Nicknames to Search for Contacts when Linking to Notes and Activities

    When adding a note and wanting to copy to another contact, "copy to another contact" field will not pull clients by nickname,only last name or formal name However in the contact search field, one can search by formal name, nickname, partial name. Very inconsistent!

  18. **Please don't classify activities as past due until after the end date**

    If I create an activity that needs to be finished by the end of the month, it shows up as past due every day and I have to manually roll it over each day.

    Use the end date entered when creating the activity to determine when an activity is "past due"

    Or add the ability to set things up this way when creating an activity.

  19. Account Information

    It seems the current "Accounts" tab under client contact is aimed at insurances. We deal a lot with annuities. Please add the following sections under accounts: surrender schedule, surrender charge, income benefit, death benefit, mortality and expense charge, administration charge, cost basis etc.

  20. Linked Notes in Opportunities

    Would be faster to add Linked Notes in Opportunities how it is currently setup in Activities.

    This would prevent from having to open a new page just to add a Note and see the list of all notes from the Main Opp page.
