Create Client Vaults For Multiple Clients

From Any View Client Screen, Click On Selection Reports OR from the Top Menu, click on Reports | Tagged Names Reports

You can add batches of vaults to AdvisorVault from inside of Advisors Assistant by either using Selection Reports or Tagged Names Reports.

Using Tagged Names To Create Client Vaults

Tagging Names is a good way to set up several vaults at a time.  It is especially valuable if there is no set criteria, such as type of name (A Clients vs B Clients, etc.) you can use for who gets a vault.

Step 1: Choose Tagged Name Reports from the Reports Menu

The Reports Menu is on the Top Menu as shown above.

Step 2: Tag The Names You Want To Select

If you sort the names by Primary Type by clicking on the column heading, it may make it easier to find the names you want.

Choosing AdvisorVault begins the export.  There are no other choices to be made.

Step 5: View Results

After the export, a results screen will appear.  The right-most column is the most important.

The screen above is a powerful screen because if there are any issues, you can easily correct them or make a list to correct them later.

When all of the requirements of AdvisorVault are not met, the export can fail.  In this case, the Results Screen will provide you with the reason why the particular contact failed to export.

When a name already exists in AdvisorVault, it will automatically be updated.

Advisors Assistant makes every effort to inform users why names don't successfully export.  Each name must meet the same requirements for the individual name exports.

Failures To Export To AdvisorVault

If you have several failures, you should:

1.Show just the failures on the list.

2.Click on the Excel Button so you can print the list.

3.Click on the Subset Button to create a Subset of the names. Using Subsets lets you just work with the names that need fixing.

Using Selection Reports To Create Client Vaults

This procedure closely follows the method used above. Please read that section first because everything in the Tagged Names Section from Step 3 onward is the same as Step 4 onward below.

Selection Reports is another way of selecting multiple names to export to AdvisorVault.  You can create hundreds of vaults at the same time, but remember, if you make a big mistake and creates hundreds of vaults you don't need:

1.You could run out of space or use more space than you planned.

2.You have to remove them one vault at a time from AdvisorVault, AND

3.You need to remove the reference to that vaut in Advisors Assistant.
