Review Report Wizard Overview
The purpose of this guide is to provide a step by step outline for entering information into the Review Report Wizard and generating an appropriate Review Report.
This wizard is a powerful tool with the ability to serve a number of purposes. A Standard Annual Review can be generated along with other documents such as a Portfolio Review Report as well as a Fee Disclosure and/or Opt-In Statement.
Typically, the Licensee will determine what an Annual, Bi-Annual, Quarterly or Monthly Review Report would contain and this will be setup in XPlan accordingly. Users will also have the ability to generate a Custom Review report if the user requires.
