Overview

Advisors Assistant's connection with Albridge and the Applink interface lets you go right into the Albridge system without having to log in.

From the Applink interface you can do the following:

•Go directly to your client list screen.

•Go directly to an individual client's portfolios.

•Go to your Advisor Profile

•Go to an individual client's profile

•Go to your Advisor's Reports and run reports.

To do all of this:

1.You will need to get your Partner User ID and your broker dealer's Financial Institution ID from your broker dealer. This is like a user ID and password for access to the Albridge server.

2.Have your Advisors Assistant System Administrator set up your Albridge Profile in the Admin | Maintain Producers | Albridge Tab section of Advisors Assistant.

See Getting Started With Applink for a step by step procedure.

Accessing Applink

Once you have your Partner User ID and your Financial Institution ID set up, going to Applink is very easy.

Applink uses your client's Tax ID to find the client in the albridge system.  The Tax ID of the "Investor" is always used.

You can access Applink from the Albridge Icon on the Partner Sidebar Menu or by right clicking in the View Account or View Investment screen.

Households & Group With

If you are displaying all of the accounts for a Household or Group With Perspective on the View Client With Investment Accounts Screen, the name shown in the Investor column of the highlighted account will be used.

Applink Examples

There are 5 target areas you can access in Albridge.  All you have to do is pick them off of the menu.

Client List

All of your clients maintained in Albridge are shown on the client list.  An example from the Albridge demonstration data is shown below.

From the client list, you can access all of the other parts of the Albridge system.  However, because Advisors Assistant has the clear view screens, you can go directly to an individual client or advisor from within Advisors Assistant.

The Advisor Profile is based on the Primary Producer.  The name shown in Advisors Assistant as the Primary Producer is considered the Advisor in Albridge.

Advisor Reports

From Advisor Reports, you can run the Albridge Reports using their filters.

Individual Client Portfolio

The Client Portfolio Destination lets you see all of the client's accounts for the Investor being viewed in Advisors Assistant.

Individual Client Profile

Use the client profile to update Albridge from Advisors Assistant or Advisors Assistant from Albridge.
