  • Corrected the display of data on the Asset Allocation report when grouped by model and when not run as of today. Previously it showed allocations as unclassified. Now the classifications carry forward.
  • Corrected the display of data on the YTD Income report—under specific conditions it could include December of the prior year, which is both unnecessary and resulted in pushing the display of the totals column to a second page.
  • Fixed the display of the account description on the YTD Income report for accounts that do not contain holdings with any actual or projected income for the year.

  • Righted the behavior of the Model blotter for cases in which a model contains no allocated content, and for cases in which it failed to return data for prior month end dates under specific conditions.

  • Updated the Pershing data download to change all new Beneficiary transfer codes from purchase to transfer categories and corrected historical data from date of Pershing change to date of Panoramix change.
  • Here’s a peak under the operational hood. TradePMR occasionally sends Panoramix an account balance file for the prior day instead of the current day.

04/14/2023 Version 2.1.0.36

  • Corrected a problem with the search button on the top right not working.

  • Converted from menu selection to Full Screen/Shrink icons for dashboard tiles such as Notes, Tasks and Documents, bringing additional consistency to the interface.
  • Added a date-time check to the Edit Account Data screen: now if there is a change to an account after the last load of the Edit Account Data screen, the update from there for that/those will not be saved and you will be notified of that action.
  • Added the ability for Operations to push a “pop up alert” to all or specific Panoramix users who are presently logged into the desktop should there be an emergency or vital notification for you. If you’re not logged in, it will appear as a pop up when you next log in.
  • For holdings/securities, changed Exclude from Schedule 13F to Exclude from Schedule 13F/SEC, which also excludes the holding from Annual ADV Amendment reporting.
  • Added the account Created Date column to the Clients with Company report for sorting. (The previous version of this report sorted that way by default, apparently, and some of you liked that sort.)
  • Added a new internal control reference point to the ByAllAccounts month-end process. Early on the first of each month we’ll create a reference point snapshot with account values, holding amounts and values, and the previous month’s transactions. This serves as a hedge against certain anomalies in month-end data from ByAllAccounts.
  • Changed the file naming and storage location scheme for ByAllAccounts to make it both more efficient and easier to support.
  • Added processes and changed the notification interface when sending a report group to a single client via email and that email fails initial formatting validation.
  • In the SEC Annual ADV Amendment, removed zero-value accounts from the account count.

  • Fixed an issue with editing the Portfolio Snapshot report in Report Groups which caused the Chart Type X parameters to reset to default each time the editing window displayed.
  • For those of you with a Custom Report as the only content in a Report Group, we remedied the issue whereby the display continued to show the previous report instead of the custom report in the edit report parameters screen. (Note, the report group still functioned as intended; it was merely a display linkage issue.)
  • If an account has both a Bill To Account selected and the Spread To Accounts option is also checked, Bill To Account takes precedence.
  • Fixed an issue with Fidelity Billing whereby certain transactions in the FCASH holding were considered flows and should not be.
  • In the Pontera download, created a process to better handle interest transaction offsets in the FDIC_SWEEP holding, as Pontera has no transaction code for this (they merely increase the value in the position file by the interest amount).
  • Apex added new transaction types and we coded to handle them. They are BDCK1, WTCN2, and WTB23 in case you care (and even if you don’t, it’s a good educational bit about how counterintuitive transaction codes can be; and how many there are—and Panoramix handles them for you).
  • Internally, we changed from using DocuSign to OnTask for electronic document signatures. Is this a Panoramix feature? Not presently. So why should you care? Because it saves us money. That, in turn, keeps Panoramix affordable for you.
  • Corrected an issue with RedTail and Wealthbox imports not saving notes correctly.

03/23/2023 Version 2.1.0.34

  • Big news: We’ve added a new “SEC Reporting” icon to the Ribbon Row under Reports. There you will find a brand new tool to help you complete your annual ADV Amendment. (Second tab.)
  • We moved the Schedule 13F filing process from being an item on the Advisor Reports drop down to the new SEC Reporting screen on its own tab.
  • The Exclude from Schedule 13F/SEC flag at the account level excludes the account from both the Schedule 13F and the ADV Amendment calculations—as the flag name states, but the ADV Amendment is new, so worth calling out.
  • You may notice us start to use a new direct message system. We added the bones for this a few releases ago and now that Messages menu item will start to have more meaning.
  • Made the initial loading of Panoramix faster by changing the methodology for calculating the AUM figure on the Advisor Dashboard. This uses snapshot summary data from the end of the prior previous business day until that data is refreshed (a process we run late in the day). To see more current information (that is, to see the AUM as calculated using the previous methodology) click the circular “Refresh” icon to the right of the total.
  • Adjusted RMDs for the new age ranges included in the SECURE Act 2.0 - signed 12/26/2022. SA 2.0 raises select dates for RMDs in select cases.
  • Speaking of RMDs, inherited accounts that are owned by trusts with no birth date associated with the trust contact caused an error when loading the RMD blotter. Now it doesn’t.
  • Thirty (30!) releases ago we moved the Incomplete Accounts functionality to the Edit Account Data tab. We finally removed the Incomplete Accounts tab from the Data UI. We figured you were used to it no longer being there by now.
  • Added a stop-check to the Billing Generate process to ensure that you’re on the most current version of Panoramix prior to running billing.
  • Added a date-check validation when running fee statements from billing to see if you wish to continue generating fee statements if you created the billing results on an earlier day.
  • Changed the default sort order for Generated Fees History to place the most current fee history at the top of the list. You can change that by clicking the column header for the column (additional columns via CTRL+Click) on which you wish to sort.
  • Added the ability to show an index on the Portfolio Returns tile on the Contact Dashboard.
  • Added the ability to run the Asset Change Summary report for a single custodian.
  • Added the ability to select As of Today and End of Month Date on the Company Report.
  • Sped up the processing for Asset Class and Asset Type additions and deletions and revamped the messaging display to be more meaningful when the deletion of a Class or Type would leave holdings in your book unassigned to any Class or Type.
  • Modified the Recent Transactions tile on the Client Portal to allow your clients more control over filtering what they see to locate specific activity in the transaction list.
  • Altered the display for the Setup Tab of the various grids (blotters, billing, etc.) to function better on smaller screens such as tablets.
  • For our multi-data-segment advisories, we added a filter to the Recent Contacts, Notes, Tasks, etc. on load to better manage the views in conjunction with the currently active federation.
  • Corrected for an issue with the Model Blotter whereby it failed to properly load if one of the accounts in the model contained a zero-dollar value.
  • Remediated an issue with the Advisor Dashboard whereby under very rare circumstances the Other Tiles menu was created before the tiles on the dashboard were set, which caused unexpected complications with the functionality of those tiles.
  • Corrected an instance where the Clients with Company report would not return data in rare cases.
  • Resolved an issue where refreshing the Task list cleared the displayed list of tasks instead of updating the view.
  • Fixed an issue where editing and switching between Advisor and Client level tasks disabled the content of the tile.
  • There was a difference in the default priority level of notes added via the web application versus the desktop application; they now have the same default priority.
  • Addressed an issue where Notes saved from the web application appeared to have failed saving to the client under certain conditions.
  • Fixed an issue with the Notes, Notes Grid, and Tasks tiles in Full Screen view where the menu selections were inaccessible.
  • Added the ability to receive the Dividend and Interest frequency and Next Dividend Payable Date with incoming Schwab data.
  • Fidelity only sends cost basis data once a week, so we added an entry to cost basis for all buys using the buy information. Created FIFO logic for sells to mimic tax lots with some degree of confidence. Those will then get updated when the records come down from Fidelity.
  • Addressed a data parsing issue with the Registration value for accounts in the DAZL download to accommodate interesting interpretations from some custodians.
  • Added a new Tasks grid with additional functionality compared to the (now) legacy Notes tile.
  • Updated FAQ
  • Updated Billing FAQ

03/02/2023 Version 2.1.0.33

  • Added not one, but two, new leap year options to billing. This only applies to advisories applying Actual Days calculations to their billing formula. Because leap year calculations started as early as yesterday—see the FAQ—and some of you raised different ideas about how Panoramix could handle leap year, we now offer the option of either 1) engaging a calendar-year based leap year using the billing period start date; or 2) always using a denominator of 365 and ignoring leap year altogether. Each of these options come with warnings and caveats, so check with your compliance requirements before engaging (true for nearly all billing options, by the way).
  • Added a new Mail Merge field called <nickname_or_first_name>. Including this field in your email body, form letters, form notes, customized cover pages or other personalized report content will put the client’s nickname field value in that place and; if there is no nickname, will use the first name. Example: if the nickname is Joe, that will show. If that’s not present and the first name value is Joseph, it’ll use the latter. (And in my case, please use the nickname.)
  • We know some of you simply cannot get enough of user defined fields (UDF). Now we have them at the holdings level, too. Need to track Maturity Dates for holdings? Add your own Date field for it. Need to track date ranges on options? Add a Date Range field for it. The examples are endless. (Well, almost. I came up with two.)
  • Added a view data option to the Daily Account Balance tile on the Contact Dashboard. Now you can see both the graph and its underlying data.
  • Added a new event to the Audit Log—that for logging a change made to the Asset Map.
  • Minor tweaks to the Monte Carlo Simulations for Goal Tracking.
  • Added the Inception Date for each of the accounts to the Account Snapshot report.
  • Altered the Allocation Performance Summary report to display the IRR and TWW returns in a more advisor-friendly manner.
  • The Account Performance Summary report also received some attention this time around. We remediated an issue with the beginning value, which is far too complicated to go into and which applied to a handful of accounts under very specific circumstances and—directly related thereto—we altered a bit of logic for displaying the asterisk that indicates that an account was not held for the entire period.
  • In Static Data, when you Save any settings, there is a check routine that looks at both Asset Class and Asset Type and whether the Generic Include in List checkbox is checked. Panoramix used to stop all saves if the box was not checked and yet found holdings that contained assigned Classes or Types on the Generic list and not on your Custom list. This was annoying and caused a bit of unanticipated work. We changed the process to include a Warning message only that does not stop the Save action you’re presently taking.
  • Speaking of customizable fields, let’s cover Contact Categories. Ever put an ampersand in a Contact Category? Two of you recently did, and—well, let’s just say there were unintended display consequences when it came to showing and working with those values in tools like the blotters. That’s been updated.
  • When a client included their own, and very long, description for a document they uploaded to the Client Portal, the upload would fail sans notification to the client. This is now fixed.
  • We’re working on an SEC ADV Amendment reporting tool and we have it available for use by our support staff on request. We made some great updates to that tool with this release, making it more useful for other regulatory reporting as well. If you need ADV Amendment numbers, contact support.
  • Updated FAQ. All that leap year stuff? Yeah, it’s in the FAQ. So is a bunch of other new stuff.

02/09/2023 Version 2.1.0.32

  • Created a new Income report that shows actual income YTD (through the end of the previous month) and a forecast for the remainder of the year, eliminating the need to run two reports and combining the results.
  • Added a parameter to the Asset Map to include (by default) or exclude (when not checked) holdings belonging to accounts where the download source is ByAllAccounts. For those of you who have a large number of BAA accounts and don’t wish to categorize their holdings, this is a quick way to exclude them and avoid the clutter.
  • Added new Document Management features in multiple places to answer the question "Who added the document?"
  • Added Account Categories field as a comma-delimited string to the Fees blotter.
  • Added an End of Last Period parameter to the Generic Performance report when created as part of a report group. (Still not recommended, as it’s a slow report to build and there are other period coverage reports that work equally well in a report group and are much faster to create.)
  • Added a Qualified Accounts filter (all/qualified/non-qualified) filter to the Income reports.
  • Add Nickname to the Redtail interface for both download from Redtail and upload to.
  • Enhanced the Two Factor Authentication (2F) access to no longer require you to identify your cellular carrier as part of setting up 2FA.
  • Remediated an issue with the new document added to portal advisor notification by SMS text message not being sent when the client adds a document to the Client Portal, which happened under certain circumstances.
  • Remediated an issue with the Account Performance History report whereby, under specific conditions, the results in the 3 Year column could differ when showing for a single account versus the portfolio as a whole.
  • Panoramix now prevents you from unchecking the Custom Include in List checkboxes for Asset Classes and Asset Types if any of the classes/types in the list are assigned to holdings in your book.
  • Completed Registration Type mapping validation in the Schwab CORE files in preparation for the TDA conversion in September.
  • Enhanced the RBC file processing interface to handle new fields included with their download.
  • Added a column to the Billing Payouts grid (and Recipient Detail export) to show the remaining fee after this payout.
  • Updated FAQ.
  • Updated Billing Manual.

01/19/2023 Version 2.1.0.31

  • Introducing a brand-new Blotter! The Account Month End Values blotter allows you to select starting and ending month-end dates and load a grid with basic account information in rows and month-end values spread across the columns for the period selected.
  • Updated the Schedule 13F EDGAR output process to conform to the new rules implemented by the SEC earlier this month.
  • Created the ability to generate Notes back into Panoramix from the Mail Merge function. This allows you to add bulk notes to selected clients, such as Notes about mailing notifications or events.
  • Added the ability to enter beginning and ending dates to the Notes and Tasks blotters to replace the previously hard coded date ranges.
  • Changed the Security Prices Blotter to allow you to select as few as one day of data, as opposed to the previous lower limit of five days.
  • Added a filter to the Additional Criteria Expander of the Accounts and Holdings blotters to filter out items below a certain threshold. One of the most common actions with each blotter is to load it, go to the amount column, change the equals filter to greater than and enter 0 in the filter to get a list of only active accounts or holdings. Now you can use the Additional Criteria expander to pre-filter for greater than zero (or any other positive integer) before you load the blotter, saving time.
  • Added a parameter to the Risk Summary report to exclude closed accounts.
  • Added the asterisks to the returns for accounts not held for the entire period to the Account Snapshot report, matching existing flagging on other performance reports.
  • Added the ability to embed the Advisory Login Link into the Client Portal New Document email (similar to the [portal_link] tag in the Invitation email, but for the login page for established portal-using clients).
  • Added ZIP+4 to the Contact Summary for use in the Contact List and during the Print Label process and elsewhere.
  • Added a column to the Billing Payouts grid to show the account value and changed the Adjusted Fee column to round to two digits to the right of the decimal for clarity in communicating to your recipients.
  • Added the ability to export Recipient Detail from the Billing Payouts grid to Excel to break out individual recipients� payouts in their own worksheet, thus saving the multiple-filters-and-exports steps.
  • Created the ability to set variable percentage payouts for Billing Payout recipients based on the Inception Date of the Account after an Effective Date. This allows you to automatically alter the payout for a recipient based on the age of the account.
  • Added the ability filter the Edit Contact Categories list by category, including "All Unassigned," as an aid to your new client workflows. All Unassigned is similar to Incomplete Accounts in that way.
  • About six years ago, we introduced a brand-new feature to much fanfare (cue trumpets). Funnily enough, it was never used. A few releases ago we separated it out onto its own interface screen and tried to raise its visibility. Still not used. Time to remove it entirely and not maintain that section of code. All part of efficiency to keep your costs down.
  • If you billed on an average value, tiered on multiple levels, had an account with a holding with percentage override set in it, and there were multiple accounts in the household, it was possible to generate a slightly different fee for that account due to a difference in the stack order of the account selection in the billing process. That stack order is now fixed.
  • If you followed four very specific and nearly unimaginably unusual combination of steps in the exact order after generating billing, there was something of an Easter Egg surprise awaiting at the end. Only it wasn�t such a good surprise because it was possible to insert the incorrect date on a billing statement. Now we don�t let that happen.
  • More billing. Household billing. If you select Spread Flat Amount Over All Accounts and don�t have an amount entered, we�re going to ignore that condition from now on and not cause your billing to fail.
  • Billing via AdvicePay. We changed the default payment due date from Today+1 to Today+30 and we added a better label to that date field in the payment interface to make it more evident as to what it is.
  • When you submit a Support Request via the Help menu, you can now opt-in to receive a copy of that request as confirmation. (Requires that you have your email address linked to your account�which is true in about 99% of the cases.)
  • Remediated an issue with the RMD Blotter displaying an incorrect value for certain inherited IRAs under certain conditions.
  • Corrected for an issue in the performance reports involving both Portfolio and Account level reporting. There was a difference in the IRR calculation for the portfolio vs. the account when an account is closed during the reporting period and the account has a post-close dividend payment. Previously the portfolio level calculation did not take that into account.
  • Fixed an issue involving performance reports using the time weighted return method along with setting a performance start date for a specific account, whereby that performance start date was not properly taken into consideration under certain conditions.
  • Remediated for a condition in performance reports whereby, under certain provisions, the benchmarks used the oldest inception date available even when an account wasn�t funded on that date.
  • Corrected for a rare difference between the 1 Year Performance and Generic performance report when using the same dates for the reporting period.
  • Added all the "23" and a new DJDIV transaction to the APEX import.
  • With the Pontera import we changed the reinvested long term gains process for greater efficiency.
  • Added better reconciliation to the daily processing to handle situations where ByAllAccounts sends irrational cash positions and prices that clearly do not match market. (Have you read our "Panoramix Data Quality: Custodial Sources and Impact Thereon" paper? If not, and you want to, send in a Support Request asking for a copy.)
  • A while back, Schwab started separating FEE and MGFEE transactions into two separate codes. We had a handful of historical MGFEE transactions to fix and then implemented proper handling of them going forward (completed between releases).
  • Improved the responsiveness of the Wealthbox and Riskalyze Analyze Contacts action for better performance inside Panoramix.
  • Remediated an issue with both the Wealthbox and Redtail interfaces whereby exporting Notes from Panoramix to either of those CRM tools failed to update the External ID for the note, resulting in duplication of notes.
  • And, related thereto, added an assurance validation that confirms that Notes are properly linked to Wealthbox.
  • Added better error handling, recovery, and retry loops to the Wealthbox interface when exporting data from Panoramix to Wealthbox to account for multiple conditions, including the ability to overrun their server with requests when doing large batches of Notes.
  • The web-app version of the Income Forecast report had an issue with showing the expanded view under select circumstances and now it functions the same as the desktop app version.
  • Remediated an issue with the Document drag-and-drop feature not correctly selecting the proper destination folder under certain conditions.
  • In preparation for the Schwab systems conversion of the TDA platform, we created space in the Panoramix database for a Previous Account Number and set it to the value of the present account number. We�ll maintain this via the TDA download process until such time as we convert the Account Number to the Schwab account number on their conversion weekend (presently set for Labor Day Weekend, 2023).
  • Here�s a "By the way" item for you who diligently peruse the release notes. From the File Menu select Other Tiles to show tiles not already on the Advisor Dashboard, similar to the same functionality on the Contact Dashboard. We added that a few releases ago and for some reason never mentioned it.
  • Updated FAQ.

2022 Releases

12/22/2022 Version 2.1.0.30

  • Two Factor Authentication for the Client Portal is here! (Actually, it was here in the last release, and it didn’t make it onto the list.)
  • Added the ability to access tiles you are not showing on the Advisor Dashboard to the File menu. Simply select File >> Other Tiles and the tile you want to see and it launches in its own window in real time. No more reconfiguring the Advisor Dashboard to see a tile you might only wish to see periodically.
  • Added the Panoramix Identifier number to the displays and Excel Export for Trading and Rebalancing in Panoramix Pro.
  • Completed multiple enhancements to the Billing Payouts process to: A) more accurately calculate distributions based on Percent to Basis on average balances billed in arrears; B) better handle bill-to accounts where one element of the schedule included Percent to Basis; and C) select other use (rare) cases.
  • Reworked certain aspects of Mock Billing based on feedback from the first use cycles since implementation to create a more accurate forecast of what your next billing will look like ahead of the end of the billing period.
  • Reworked mid-term billing to accommodate additional fees and a few other billing adjustments, and permit statement production for same.
  • Modified the Edit Model Allocation screen, giving more room to the pie chart to lessen the impact of compacted titles, which tended to be less legible.
  • Added transaction types to the Apex daily file import process to better process cash dividend distributions as a journal entry.
  • Altered the FanMail daily file processing structure for increased efficiency and ease of research.
  • Fixed an issue (between releases) with the display of the assigned user on the Tasks blotter.
  • Updated the RBC billing file format to meet revised custodian specifications.
  • Creating Contact Date Types and other custom list objects in Static Data where the descriptions contain commas or pipes lead to errors in other places in the user interface; so now you can’t use those characters in descriptions.
  • Corrected an issue with our advisory custom script processor which makes it run more efficiently.
  • Remediated an issue with the display of the Panoramix Web App on certain new Android devices that use a different form factor than prior mobile devices whereby the display did not properly set to mobile on a subsequent launch sans clearing the browser cache.
  • Fixed an issue with the LPL data import process for a file set rarely used which led to an import error which stopped the data import.
  • Updated FAQ.
  • Updated the Wealthbox Integration Manual.

12/5/2022 Version 2.1.0.29

  • Correction to the advisor report Performance Summary which was not returning any data.

12/1/2022 Version 2.1.0.28

  • Enhanced the ByAllAccounts interface with by creating an API-based executable to pull in new accounts that are auto-discovered and created a scheduled task to run it each weekend.
  • If an account had no Registration Type and it's changed to Beneficiary IRA or IRA-BDA, the RMD section previously did not enable in the same way it did (and should) when there is a different Registration Type. The behavior is now consistent.
  • Remediated an issue with the Cash Flows report whereby the report did not properly engage a mid-month start date under certain circumstances.
  • Corrected behaviors of the Asset Map whereby edits caused a resetting the holding fee overrides to zero when it should not be doing so under select conditions.
  • Improved the responsiveness of the Asset Map display and updates by a factor of up to 18.75X.
  • Fixed and issue with the Generic Performance report whereby when not grouped by multiple levels the Display Holding % always grouped by Percent of Group even if Percent of Total was selected.

11/10/2022 Version 2.1.0.27

  • On the advice of counsel, we’re removing the default Panoramix logo from the reports and client portal. If you’ve already white labeled with your own logo, no changes are needed. If Panoramix does not have your logo, you will need to upload it or let us know to replace the “Your logo here” image with whitespace.
  • Made it easier to Merge and Delete contacts with three enhancements to the process. First, on the Contacts list, highlighting a contact and selecting Merge will automatically place that contact into the “one to retain” selection for step one of the wizard. This convention carries over to both the Contact Blotter, where you will now see two new action buttons, one for Merge and the other for Delete, and to the Contact Information tile of the Contact Dashboard, where you’ll see a new hamburger menu to the left of the tile title. Options there are Edit, Delete and Merge. (We left the Edit menu/button alone, since that is so commonly used.)
  • Enhanced the Portfolio Returns tile of the Contact Dashboard to include the ability to display from zero to N benchmarks along with the account information.
  • When you Add or Edit a Note, you’ll see a new checkbox called Update Last Seen Date. If checked upon save, this action also updates the Contact's Last Seen date—which saves you the effort of opening the Edit Contact Information screen, updating the date, and saving the change.
  • Changed the email Reply To address on new portal document emails generated from Panoramix to one of the following in this order:

    1. The Contact Your Advisor support address used on the Client Portal.
    2. The email address the firm’s primary user account.
    3. The mailbox of the logged-in user account.
    4. Leave as Panoramix.
    Other emails generated in Panoramix will follow this pattern in the next release.
  • It is now possible for any Admin-level user to copy Blotter Setups to any other user—or all other users—for sharing of views.
  • Get a new PC? Can’t remember how to download the desktop version of Panoramix? Log into the web version (https://www.panoramixweb.com), go to Help and click the link to download the desktop version.
  • Added both an informational icon with help text and a confirmation screen to the Edit Security screen related to excluding a holding from performance reporting.
  • Improved the handling of Schwab date of birth field handling in the CORE file set for advisories that have authorized the sending of that data.
  • Modified the SEI download process for added efficiencies by parsing the data stream into separate files by advisory before beginning the import process, thus keeping all processing for an advisory in isolation.
  • Revamped the ByAllAccounts transaction import to better accommodate dividends paying on the last day of the month.
  • Added transaction types to the Apex daily import process for handling of special dividends.
  • Modified the RBC daily import process to eliminate the rebuilding of inactive accounts included in the download but previously removed from Panoramix.
  • Remediated an issue with the RMD tile on the Contact Dashboard whereby the tile remained empty under certain conditions while both the Blotter and RMD report showed the correct results.
  • Corrected an issue whereby the values in the Benchmarks column of the Edit Account Data screen did not export to Excel
  • Fixed an issue with the established sort order not being honored in a search-returned Contact List when the Disable initial load in contact search User Setting is set to True.

10/20/2022 Version 2.1.0.26

  • Added the ability to complete a Mock Billing – Click the new Generate Mock Billing button on the Generate Fees screen to see what your billing would look like if today was the end of the billing period regardless of your other parameter settings. In other words, would you like to project what your Q4 income is going to be on the 28th of December? Now you can.
  • Created a new Daily Account Balance Tile that you may add to the Contact Dashboard. The new tile is similar to the Performance Over Time tile, sans the benchmarks and plus the ability to display the portfolio and multiple accounts.
  • Enhanced the Document Blotter to allow multi-select and added the ability to delete selected documents. Our first blotter to allow for direct manipulation of mined data.
  • Added a new Search User Setting, enabled by default, called Always display search results (ignore filters). What this does is override the Type select list in the Contacts screen to show all matches in the results-set when it is checked. To always obey the Type selection list, uncheck this box and save the change.
  • Added the ability to see returns both gross of fees and net of fees to the Composites blotter in Panoramix Pro.
  • Enhanced RMDs to examine Beneficiary vs. Inherited IRA rules where applicable and use the appropriate IRS distribution tables.
  • Modified the behavior of Disable Batch Reports setting in Settings>>Manage Users to allow a user to run batch reports for an individual client while still preventing the ability to add/delete/modify report groups and run report groups in batch mode.
  • Added "([Custodian])" to the Other Investments section of the Statement reports to match prior section’s formatting.
  • Restored the Contact Refresh after saving a Contact Edit to display the newly entered information.
  • Remediated an issue with the RMD screen on the Portfolio Dashboard where the grid was mistakenly blank under certain circumstances.
  • Remediated an issue with the Contacts screen Category Filter such that it now functions for any combination of value selections.
  • Remediated an issue with the Merge Contacts function whereby it failed under certain conditions when the source contact has multiple documents.
  • Implemented a more explicit display order setting for the Asset Class Display Order on the Asset Class report when run for periods other than As of Today.
  • Remediated an issue with the Portfolio Snapshot where the Asset Allocation chart included insurance and other investments incorrectly under certain conditions.
  • Corrected the Account Snapshot report to honor the Hide Zero Balances parameter when checked in all cases.
  • Expanded the transactions search to pull data beyond dividends to include such things as interest transactions on fixed income holdings for inclusion in the Income Forecast report.
  • Eliminated the "sequence contains no elements" error message in the Portfolio Value Chart module when the returned data set is empty.
  • Corrected an issue with the Client Portal whereby the Change in Value percentage for the MTD and YTD columns used an incorrect delta percent formula.
  • Fixed an issue with the Client Portal page header not displaying properly on an iPad in landscape mode.
  • On the Household Billing screen, the checkbox for the Spread Flat Amounts Over All Accounts checkbox showed in a “NULL state,” rather than in an Unchecked state upon initial display, which resulted in some advisory confusion.
  • A non-primary user who has their security Account Settings set to Billing Settings not checked could still edit billing settings via Household Billing when they should not have been able to do so. Tightened billing security settings in general for users who need to be so restricted.
  • Fixed a rounding error in the minimum fee when billing to other accounts.
  • Remediated a rare rounding issue for fee application in household billing.
  • Adjusted the PTE-2020 billing rules to handle minimum fees and taxes more efficiently.
  • Corrected an issue with deleting a duplicate beneficiary on an account which previously resulted in a “sequence contains more than one element” error message under certain circumstances.
  • Added three new transaction types to the Apex import process.
  • Enhanced the Schwab daily file import process to provide new operational warnings whenever CORE file sets for an individual masterID are incomplete.
  • Added checks to the Fidelity download for both Pos and GNum files. If no GNum, then send a notification to operations and use previous.
  • Created better handling for the TDA daily import to compensate for a change made at TD in how they process transactions with both Cash deposits and holdings purchases on the same day so that Panoramix does not reflect a negative cash value, as is shown with TDA.
  • Created better handling for the TDA daily import to compensate for a change made at TD in how they handle cash deposits to a new account with pending sales on another.
  • Enhanced the Pontera integration to not overwrite a Rep Code change made by the advisory with the next day's download.

9/19/2022 Version 2.1.0.25

  • Added a new Account Billing Information informational screen to Billing (Billing>>Account Billing Infor>>Load). This is a quick view of pertinent billing information by account presented in a blotter-like grid for easy filtering, sorting, grouping etc. for your pre-billing checkups.
  • Added the ability to customize the titles for the groupings on the Asset Allocation Charts in reports (Settings>>Report Settings>>Custom Titles).
  • Created a new version of the Account Snapshot report that mirrors the single-page portrait and landscape versions of the Portfolio Snapshot when either three or fewer (portrait) or four (landscape) time-period columns activated.
  • Altered the way the Generic Performance report allocates space to the fees and commissions column for better readability.
  • Altered the underlying implementation of Required Minimum Distribution calculations for inherited IRAs to better utilize the date of death of the original owner of the assets when determining the distribution requirement.
  • Remediated an issue with the Contact Dashboard where save actions in tiles following an update saved to the database, but did not refresh in the dashboard.
  • Fixed an issue with the dashboard layouts tool. When adding a row to an existing column, the previous bottom row tile no longer displayed on the screen if it was already initialized (forcing the user to exit and restart Panoramix unnecessarily).
  • Corrected for an issue where the Income Forecast totals column could spill over to a second page in Expanded view under select conditions. (Corrected between releases).
  • Remediated a display issue with the Client Information screen. Information is saved to the database and the screen did not refresh when editing bank account list.
  • Corrected a display issue on the Contact Dashboard. Under certain conditions, a new Associated Contacts did not reflect until viewing another client and returning. This only happened when opening the tile from the Other Data menu.
  • Fixed an issue with the Client Portal Invitation. The default invitation (the one sent when advisor has not created their own) didn't convert contact's name properly in the salutation section of the email. Now it does.
  • Remediated for an issue in iOS running on Panoramix on small screens (iPhone) with properly rendering Notes created and saved on that platform.
  • Remediated an issue with Fees Column on Statements whereby it failed to hold the XX,XXX.XX formatting under certain conditions.
  • Resolved for an error on the Advisory Dashboard that resulted in an error message appearing for non-primary usernames under specific circumstances.

8/30/2022 Version 2.1.0.23

  • Added the ability to select different allocation types for both charts on Portfolio Snapshot and Account Snapshot reports.
  • Added the ability to include multiple tiles of the same type on both the Advisor and Contact Dashboards. Now you can have the same tile configured with different views (assets by Asset Class and by Security type, for example) without taking the time to reconfigure a single widget.
  • Overhauled the Edit Account Screen for ease of use and consistency of presentation (note that the Billing and Performance section is in the more prominent middle-of-the-screen position now and all the related information is grouped better so you don’t spend nearly as much time searching for what you want to update.)
  • Added the ability to toggle between a new data view and the traditional doughnut chart view on the Portfolio Summary tile of the Contact Dashboard.
  • Revamped the third-party utility screens (Redtail, Wealthbox, etc.) to make them easier to use and navigate, easier to understand, and provide access to more data without scrolling through short grids.
  • Gave some needed attention to the Asset Allocation report, updating the look and feel of the report and allowing for more room to show the legend, which had a history of being smooshed.
  • Remediated an issue with the Transaction Blotter whereby the customer name did not display properly when the Primary Owner (or first owner, if no Primary selected) is a company, not a person. This applies to transaction information, without contact info included.
  • Fixed an issue with the Edit Account Screen. Owners did not display properly if 1) customer didn’t have any associated contacts; and 2) user selected display household accounts.
  • Corrected a condition in the Portfolio Values Module Which affected performance reports. Columns displayed in grid (with $0 values) when column type set to "Empty."
  • Remediated an issue whereby custom benchmarks did not appear when generated from within the Client Portal and the Web app under certain conditions.

8/11/2022 Version 2.1.0.22

  • Completed the work related to the expansion of the price-per-share from a mere six digits to the right of the decimal place to ten places so as to better handle those remaining 1¢ rounding issues.
  • Added the ability to turn off the display of headers and footers for all reports in batches except for the cover page and custom reports.
  • Added a display-only field showing the date of the last password change date to settings>>user settings>>password and login.
  • Enhanced the Audit Log by creating new logged events for Household Billing changes, recording both before and after values, and tracking changes to the Composite assignments.
  • Added another billing export, this one a single export to MS Excel with each Company broken out to a different tab (worksheet) in the same file (workbook).
  • Added a Setup expander to the Advisory Dashboard Global Allocations tile to allow for custom configurations of the display.
  • Created an implemented use for a new account-level flag, "Exclude from Global Allocation," which, when true, excludes the account from display in the Advisory Dashboard's Global Allocations tile. Now you can exclude your own accounts, other family members, employees, etc. from the display.
  • Added the display of "(Company)" for accounts in the "Investment/Other" Group in statements.
  • Added the ability to exclude a given security from the settings imposed by the Asset Map for that holding in a given account.
  • Advisors won’t ever see this, but we made several changes to the API set for other third-party integrations.
  • Fixed an issue that, under select conditions, prevented the Email Viewer from saving the message in the Document manager when the Save In Documents button clicked. (Fixed between releases)
  • Corrected for a tile resizing issue for Enlarged tiles containing grids. (Fixed between releases)
  • Fixed an issue with the web app where saved Notes failed to persist to the database in certain situations. (Fixed between releases)
  • Resolved two different printing issues with the four-column-single-page-landscape version of the Portfolio Snapshot report. One was an odd pagination issue in cases where a highly specific mix of parameters combined to create an intermediary blank page in a report group. The second issue involved an unexpected malformation of the Performance Over Time chart display.
  • Remediated an error generated on the Allocation Comparison report when grouped by Model.
  • Fixed an unhandled error triggered between generating reports and finalizing the batch which caused the batch dialog to remain open without ability to close it under certain conditions.
  • Remediated for an issue with portfolio information whereby grouping by Security Category failed to function as one might expect based on the way other groupings function.
  • Fixed for an issue on the Advisory Dashboard where a double-click processed twice under select conditions.
  • Reviewed and made consistent the fact that End of Last Period supersedes any "end date" parameters (as of today or specified) on all reports in batch reporting. (If you’ve been relying on this inconsistency for some reason, now is the time to review your batch report settings.)
  • The Client Merge function would drop the Portal Username if the portal user was only in the Secondary Contact in the merge and secondary contact was being deleted. Fixed that. Also reviewed process to ensure that the appropriate delete or update action remained consistent for all merge actions.
  • Under certain conditions (an MS Outlook configuration) an email appeared multiple times in the Contact Dashboard's Recent Emails tile. Added remediation code to prevent that duplicative display.
  • Phone numbers from Wealthbox sometimes appeared improperly formatted on the Contact Dashboard, but look OK in detail data. Fixed it.
  • Corrected a typographical error on the Trading Bulk Requests screen ("Reminder" is now "Remainder").
  • Added the ability to spread out additional flat fee billing items over all household accounts.

7/28/2022 Version 2.1.0.21

  • A correction to some of our charts (pie charts mostly) where the mouse hover was not working

7/22/2022 Version 2.1.0.20

  • 2 Minor bug fixes from yesterdays release (nothing to see here)

7/21/2022 Version 2.1.0.19

  • Expanded our custodial partnerships by adding a direct daily file download interface with RBC.
  • On the Contact Dashboard, added the ability to expand the view on several tiles, pulling the tile off the dashboard into its own larger, sizable window so that you can see more details. Use the new Expand icon in the upper right of the tile to see the more prominent view.
  • Added the ability to rebalance by Asset Class, Asset Type, Security Type, and Holding.
  • Added the ability to change the display of pie charts on reports from the current mixed-display default to creating consistent displays using one of four options: 3-D pie, doughnut, flat pie, or beveled pie. See Settings>>Report Settings>>Pie Chart Display.
  • Added the ability to suppress the display of headers and/or footers on individual reports in a Report Group. These parameters only apply to report groups, affect everything about the header/footer in that report, and only function within that group production.
  • Added a new Performance Snapshot report (Client Reports>>Performance>>Performance Snapshot) which is similar to the Portfolio Snapshot, without the account balance information or chart options. Show portfolio level, account level, or both, with or without benchmarks with returns calculated over any of five time periods.
  • Added a Delayed Processing message box to billing for (we hope those exceptionally rare) cases (such as we encountered at the end of June) where month-end processing is taking longer than anticipated due to a delayed delivery of a custodian’s file set.
  • Added a Refresh button to the Advisor Dashboard Tasks tile so that you can refresh that one tile’s contents instead of the entire dashboard with the dashboard refresh icon. This makes it a bit faster for you.
  • Altered the behavior of the Portfolio Returns tile grid on the Contact Dashboard to fix the column widths to a more usable standard and made it more difficult to resize columns out of existence.
  • Changed processes to reflect the FeeX company name change to Pontera.
  • In order to speed up end-of-month processing, in the last release we introduced the concept of a “pending snapshot,” which isn’t all that important to understand or comprehend. What is important is that in so doing we created a situation where an advisor could not manually enter changes to accounts during the period where the snapshot was in that pending status. Now you can. Also, with this release we made other code changes to utilize those fields across a wider span of the application.
  • Continued to work on accelerating the rate of processing custodial downloads skipping rep codes (masters, etc.) belonging to Inactive Advisories, even though we continue to receive data for them.
  • Added a support notification for advisors who run batch reports for the end of a period prior to the data for that period being finalized for the advisory.
  • Remediated an issue with the labeling on the Allocation Comparison report (correction released between releases).
  • Corrected for an issue whereby Accounts could be orphaned (not lost) when two client records merged under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue with the Accounts blotter whereby columns added to a previously saved filtered Setup did not display properly.
  • Altered the manner in which custodian downloads process TEFRA withholdings on non-cash holdings and fixed data back to 1/1/2020.

6/23/2022 Version 2.1.0.18

  • Completed several changes to the Tasks blotter, including adding the ability for an admin-level login to see all tasks, the ability to see all tasks assigned to you for standard IDs, and the ability to see to which client a task belongs, among others.
  • Added a new Accounts property to support rebalancing called Rebalance Type, which contains three possible values: regular, include but do not trade, and exclude.
  • Made the detailed fee invoice a bit easier to read in cases where you’re billing either quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and not using the actual days parameter for either quarterly or semi-annually. For those cases we now truncate the display of the last eight zeros to the right of the decimal place in the Billing Period Factor. For all other cases we’ll still carry it out to the 10th digit.
  • Modified the existing Cash Flow report to include a new parameter for cash transactions marked as Deposits/Withdrawals to more easily isolate those transactions in the history.
  • Changed the ability to either include or exclude fractional shares when trading/rebalancing.
  • Added the ability to copy a Model to a new Model under a different name as a head start to editing, rather than creating each (similar) Model from scratch. (“Merry Christmas” a bit early, Pat.)
  • Remediated an issue with the Client Portal whereby Benchmarks did not appear under certain circumstances (fixed between releases).
  • When someone created multiple new Asset Classes or Asset Types simultaneously, and one or more of the descriptions remained empty, this created duplicate classes/types. Until now.
  • For architectural consistency and processing efficiency, we moved the Contact Merge function from the desktop application layer to the services layer of Panoramix.
  • Changed the beneficiary and insured information to accept fractional percentages for beneficiaries.
  • Remediated an issue whereby a general exception error emitted from an attempt to delete a Static Data element if there was also a pending edit for the same item.
  • Remediated an issue with the benchmarks not properly calculating on the Composite blotter under select circumstances.
  • Corrected for an issue in the Accounts blotter whereby if you create a custom filter as part of a saved Setup, and that custom filter is on a date field, and it contains a combination of mathematical conditions (< X or =(blanks), for example) the conditions did not save in their entirety, necessitating a reset with the next use of the Setup.
  • Fixed an issue on the Portfolio Snapshot report wherein the IRR display was incorrect under specific conditions.
  • Added an event to the event log for client uploads to the client portal.
  • Updated the FAQ. – Fun Fact (a shameless plug for our Fun With [Fill in the Blank] series on our YouTube channel) we’ve updated this document in 79% of the months since its initial release. The first drafting took 2½ months.
  • Updated the Billing Manual.

6/2/2022 Version 2.1.0.17

  • Completed the integration with AdvicePay. If you use AdvicePay for your directly invoiced clients, you may now generate those invoices directly via an API integration. No need to create a separate spreadsheet or manually input items into AdvicePay. Plus, Panoramix now handles your direct invoiced fees for net of fees reporting.
  • We completely rewrote our entire reporting engine, creating a new reporting infrastructure from the ground up. Soon you’ll be able to take advantage of this by doing such things as off-loading your long-running batch reporting processes to our reporting servers for asynchronous processing, the same way you can offload billing and blotter loading today.
  • Speaking of blotters, we revised the Composite blotter to annualize the returns for periods greater than one year and remediated an issue related to the display of the return rates for specific accounts in the lower grid of the two-grid results display.
  • Updated the Advisor Performance Summary report to utilize Daily Performance Metrics, converting from Modified Dietz to provide GIPS compliance metrics on these reports.
  • If you normally pro-rate new accounts in your billing using an end of period balance, and you move funds from one account to a new account, you can end up underbilling a client without taking additional manual steps. To eliminate those steps, we added a new Account Setting (Edit Account screen, Billing and Performance section). The new setting overrides the proration setting at billing run-time for these specific instances.
  • When launched from the Portfolio Dashboard, the Transaction blotter’s Rep Code field didn’t always contain the rep code from the account. Now it does.
  • Google ended support for connecting Panoramix to Gmail (email and calendar) sans employing an App Password effective May 30th. With this release we updated the text behind the onscreen help icon to assist you in establishing an App Password (keeping in mind that supporting Gmail is beyond the boundaries of our capacity to directly support).
  • Updated the FAQ.
  • Updated the Billing Manual.

5/12/2022 Version 2.1.0.16

  • Added Download Source to the Transaction Blotter.
  • Remediated for an issue with Label Printing in Windows 11 whereby the Windows Print screen appeared either on a different screen or behind another window or both, giving the appearance that the Print button didn’t execute anything. (Note that the Print button does render all the label images, so this process may take some time.)
  • If you use a flat index as part of a custom benchmark’s composite makeup, you’ll see a change in how the benchmark’s calculation functions for both regular use and in money-weighted benchmarks. The math now considers additional data points for increased accuracy.
  • Corrected for an issue introduced in the last release whereby notes did not move from the deleted contact when merged into a new master contact. (Completed between releases.)
  • Patched for an issue with saving reports to the client portal under specific conditions (services layer completed between releases).
  • Continued effort to be consistent with column labelling between reports, with minor changes.
  • Remediated for an issue with the titling of reports inside of a batch which 1) contains both other content and a Fee Statement; 2) there is a non-head-of-household contact with a different salutation than the head-of-household; and 3) that non-head-of-household’s account appears first in the list of accounts on the Fee Statement.
  • Corrected an issue with benchmarks on the composites blotter.
  • Corrected an issue with cost basis reporting for short positions.

4/21/2022 Version 2.1.0.13

  • Completed our integration with Onramp Invest, for those of you working with cryptocurrency holdings.
  • Created an email opt out parameter to disable the New Documents to Portal notification emails for a contact on a temporary basis for both documents placed directly in the portal via the document management tool and for reports generated from the Client Reports screen. That way, if you’re adding multiple documents over the course of a bit of time, the client won’t receive multiple messages. Simply check the box.
  • Added the ability to disable the exposure of reports to the Client Portal for an individual client.
  • Added the Riskalyze scores to all blotters capable of showing Contact information and to the Accounts blotter for specific account scores.
  • Added average daily balance as an option to Billing. Don't use it. We cannot stress this enough. We've written white papers and done webinars about why you shouldn't use average daily balance. It's evil.
  • Created the ability to create management fee transactions in Panoramix for those clients who pay you via invoice instead of an account debit. This keeps your reporting basis net of fees for those clients without the need to manually create your own debits and credits to cash and the fee account. This is called an export to Panoramix and requires two stages of acknowledgement, just as fee processing to many custodians does.
  • Added the ability to recompute performance for a single account via the right-click pop-up menu on the Accounts list on the Portfolio Dashboard. This provides a faster process than recomputing performance on the entire portfolio.
  • Changed the icon for the Online folder to make it more obvious that this is for the Client Portal.
  • Replaced Name and Owners on the Household Assets tile of the Advisor Dashboard and in the Edit Account tool with SortName in cases where the client only has a Company Name. This corrects for a condition whereby a client name could appear as “ , ” instead of a true client’s value.
  • Added a unique temporary folder path to the file name when creating a batch report for email distribution where all the file names are otherwise the same. This eliminates the “file in use by another process” email error condition.
  • Enhanced the use of the Contact’s Third Party Exports folder path as input for the save-to path when generating a report or report group for a specific client.
  • Added the ability to customize file name in the Cancel Bill process.
  • In preparation for future actions, and to better control expiring passwords in an effort to eliminate two-factor authentication failures following the expiration of a password, added a “your password expires in X days” message as that date approaches. You have the opportunity to change the password from that message box or dismiss it for later action.
  • When run as part of a Report Group, you may now set the Cost Basis report to run as of the end of the last period (prior month end) instead of having to remember to go into the Report Group and update that date.
  • Added additional verification and record consolidation functionality to the Merge Contacts tool to better handle Head of Household and Billing Only relationships, among other things.
  • A specific error which occurred during batch report processing whilst checking if customer has a non-zero portfolio appeared as the report not printing "because of $0 portfolio" instead of the actual error message, which made resolution of the true issue more difficult. The proper message replaces this one.
  • Remediated an issue with the Advisor and Contact Dashboards which caused a superfluous “Collection was modified” error message under certain circumstances.
  • Corrected for an issue whereby the default logo appeared on reports under select circumstances when a non-primary username generated the report.
  • Fixed an issue with deleting accounts consuming an excessive amount of time under select conditions.
  • Rectified the display of the Performance Over Time graph on the Performance and Account Snapshot reports to display the proper scale with better labeling.
  • The household name appearing in Fee Statement reports could differ from that appearing on other reports in a batch under certain circumstances. Now it matches.
  • Remediated an issue with Tasks not persisting to a contact record under select conditions.
  • Updated the full billing manual and the billing quick reference guide for new options added to billing in this release.

3/24/2022 Version 2.1.0.11 and 2.1.0.12

  • Created an entirely new framework for advisory-wide performance reporting and implemented it for the Composite blotter. Panoramix now uses a daily-interval time weighted rate of return as opposed to Modified Dietz. We’re moving away from Modified Dietz throughout Panoramix over the course of the next couple of releases to take advantage of this new framework in order to help advisors gain accreditation from third party reviewers related to GIPS compliance.
  • Replaced the Schwab interactive integration layer with Schwab’s next generation API, which will allow for far more complex trading scenarios and a more robust interface between Panoramix and Schwab when we implement them into the user interface (later this year).
  • Created three new tiles for the Contact Dashboard—Income Summary, Income Forecast and Contact RMD. All three are configurable and the Income Forecast may be displayed as either a graph or a data grid.
  • Added the ability to have a separate logo for the Client Portal as opposed to reports. Upload the second logo to the Settings>>Portal Settings>>Logo screen.
  • Moved the Client Portal configuration and layout screen to the Portal Settings area. Admin-level usernames may edit the contents of the screen, and we’ll continue to add tiles and functionality in future releases.
  • Added a “ticker tile” to the Client Portal—initially with three indexes in a horizontal configuration (watch for future enhancements).
  • Added the ability for the advisor to allow clients to schedule appointments via their own scheduling tool (such as Calendly and ScheduleOnce etc.) on the Client Portal.
  • Updated the Client Portal Market Watch tile to utilize the list of the client’s holdings for the present market display.
  • Added the ability to hide either the MTD or YTD columns on the Client Portal as opposed to having them linked as a single display item.
  • Added a new Note Type of Client Portal. If you create a Note with that type, that note is exposed to your client when they access the Client Portal, provided the Notes tile is displayed.
  • Added the ability to bill from one account to another account in the same household when the two accounts are on different billing cycles.
  • Corrected an issue with the Performance Summary Advisor-level report whereby the Calendar Year 2 ending balance didn’t calculate properly under select circumstances.
  • Enhanced the Libretto interface to offer the ability to exclude closed holdings from their data pull, lessoning the data pull and making the overall process more efficient.
  • Remediated an issue with email settings whereby verifying SMTP settings when IMAP is selected didn’t use new settings under certain conditions.
  • Corrected for an issue related to adding Notes at the Account and Holding levels, and prohibited the addition of notes to accounts (and their holdings) on Orphan Accounts.
  • Remediated for an issue whereby a note would not save to the proper household contact under specific circumstances.
  • Corrected for a condition which generated an error when adding Tasks in full screen mode (with other specific conditions).
  • Updated the FAQ document and the full Billing Manual.

3/3/2022 Version 2.1.0.9

  • Implemented an alternative method of texting the access code for 2 factor authentication to get around the Verizon problems.
  • Added a market watch widget for the client portal.
  • Added a recent transactions widget for the client portal.
  • Added a daily news widget for the client portal.
  • Added the ability to specify "Q" (replaced by quarter #) in file format's date field for batch reports.
  • Added ability for the user to specify a different logo to be used in client portal.
  • Added ability to for the advisor to customize the client portal layout.
  • Corrected an issue with money weighted benchmark with flat indexes.
  • Corrected an issue with saving notes under specific circumstances.
  • Added ability to display Deposits/Withdrawals column to the Transaction Summary report.
  • Implemented phase one of new reporting backend.
  • Modified the account number assignment for ByAllAccounts.
  • Corrected an issue with Recent Transaction module not refreshing in some cases.
  • Corrected an issue with using multiple dashboard layouts not saving correctly.
  • Added External Id field to account info displayed in blotters
  • Added "master account refresh" button to Schwab third-party settings
  • Fixed issue with incorrect start date showing up in performance reports
  • Removed file name from the client portal document lists.
  • Added column porting for the client portal document lists.  
  • Fixed the Fee Statement reports to behave the same when running from Generate Statements screen or from Batch Reports.
  • Added new Display Portfolio parameter in Account Snapshot report.

2/10/2022 Version 2.1.0.8

  • We did a lot of rework under the covers for the client portal in preparation for some cool new things coming up in the next few releases, so stay tuned for those!
  • Changed the behavior of the main client dashboard to always load accounts, even if the contact is not marked as a client or marked as inactive.
  • Added a full screen view to the Contact Dashboard. This view hides the ribbon and other non-client-related information on the screen and can be used to facilitate client meetings, either in person or online.
  • Added a parameter to hide the Portfolio Summary section (first two pages) of the Account Snapshot report for those who wish to create a report group with a Portfolio Snapshot with one set of parameters and the account snapshot with another without repeating the portfolio section and for those cases where you have households with only one account where the information is duplicated on pages 1 and 3 and 2 and 4.
  • Enhanced the Security Values blotter in three ways, all in the Additional Criteria expander. First, added the ability to select a desired starting date. The Number of Days counter then looks forward from there. Second, Display Weekends does just that, to ensure that the number of value columns returned matches the number of days selected. Lastly, you may look for one or more symbols or identifiers by typing the values in as a comma delimited string (symbol = FB, AMZN, AAPL, NFLX, GOOG, to pull the FAANG stocks, for example).
  • Enhanced the statements to include the portfolio value.
  • Enabled bulk trade requests from the Model blotter. (Pro)
  • Remediated an issue with the Contact Dashboard not displaying changes from the Edit Contact screen until manually executing a Refresh action.
  • Corrected for a condition whereby, after modifying the layout of the Advisory Dashboard, the Dashboard didn't correctly display newly selected tiles and multiple values sometimes displayed for the total portfolio value under specific circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue whereby the Income Summary and the Performance Monthly Timeline reports did not properly engage the Select Accounts filter under certain circumstances.
  • Mitigated for a Microsoft Report Viewer bug whereby if you ran the 1 Year Performance report grouped by Asset Class, with the Hide Zero Balances parameter checked, and the first holding in the class happened to have a zero balance at the end of the period, Report Viewer dropped the entire Asset Class from the report even when there are other holdings without zero balances.
  • Remediated an issue whereby certain tasks did not appear in the task list for users not assigned to the task under select other conditions.
  • Under some circumstances the date fields were not updating properly in the database for batch report runs history. Now they do.
  • Under certain circumstances the Advisor Dashboard displayed the total AUM more than once in the banner, so we eliminated that duplication.
  • Corrected for an issue with properly saving data when adding notes, tasks, associated contacts etc. within the Contact Dashboard before the contents of the affected tile are fully loaded.
  • Added some processing around client email address saves to ensure that the entered address is valid.
  • Remediated an issue with the DST import whereby negative fee adjustment transactions incorrectly resulted in negative transactions for most fee transactions that had a change in shares.
  • Updated the Billing Manual with updates missed with the last release’s significant overhaul.
  • Updated the Billing Quick Reference Guide in an effort to bring to parity with full Billing Manual content.
  • Updated the FAQ document.

1/22/2022 Version 2.1.0.7

  • Made Panoramix load quicker at startup and made other performance improvements throughout the program. In some cases we were able to reduce the response time by 70%, helping you to be more productive.
  • Added column headers to the Cost Basis Report for details that span multiple pages (completed between releases).
  • In the last scheduled release of 2021 we moved the Incomplete Accounts functionality to the Edit Account Data tab, and we didn’t move the Contact Category column when we did so. We heard about that and have now included that column for your filtering and workflow needs.
  • Added a Grace Amount to both the Fee Schedule and to individual accounts for billing. The Grace Amount is a balance value below which no fee will be charged (either at the account level or at the aggregate household level when on a Fee Schedule). Once the Grace Amount threshold is reached, the account / household is charged “from dollar one” based on the assigned fee structure for the account or the schedule.
  • Altered billing average balance calculations to account for dividends as a negative net flow from 1/2022 forward.
  • Updated the PTE 2020-02 billing logic such that the fee calculation remains the same as prior methods with only a change in the spread between the Qualified and Non-qualified accounts’ allocations being affected (see the updated Billing Manual for a complete explanation).
  • Fixed an issue where Riskalyze failed to shut down the Authorization timer when the advisor used the X to close the window after launching authorization process.
  • Corrected for an issue with the Advisor Performance Summary report. When run on the last day of the month using the As of Today parameter, the report previously looked for snapshots which are not yet created and returned zero for the ending value in the portfolio section of the report. Now it doesn’t.
  • Remediated an error when printing fee statements from the Client Portal.
  • Mitigated an issue whereby if a user with administrative rights who was not the primary username for the firm created a folder for another user (not themselves and not the primary) in the Vault, the folder appeared incorrectly.
  • Fixed an audit log reference to reflect the before and after values for Changed Account Billing Cycle ID event.
  • Corrected for an issue with one custom report.
  • Continued to develop Panoramix Pro orientation, with the final new Trading video.
  • Updated the Billing Manual with updates from the last several releases, including this one.

1/6/2022 Version 2.1.0.6

  • Correction to new asynch data retrieval for batch reports.

2021 Releases

12/28/2021 Version 2.1.0.5

  • Correction to performance reporting that was introduced in 2.1.0.4 where inception date was off under certain circumstances.
  • Correction to Incomplete accounts where IsSetup flag not saving properly.
  • Added scroll bars to certain graphs/modules (performance related) when zooming in.

12/21/2021 Version 2.1.0.4

  • You want faster batch reports. With this release, we deliver. By default, a new global report setting engages asynchronous processing for batch reports. Presently, for most computers built in the last five years and with a decent internet connection, batch report processing is now 33 – 40% faster than yesterday. (Processing time only, not time dedicated to emailing, saving reports, exporting to multiple locations, etc.)
  • The functionality of the Incomplete Accounts list (Data>>View Data>>Incomplete Accounts) is now with the Edit Account Data tool (Data>>View Data>>Edit Account Data). You have the option of loading the Edit Account Data tool with all accounts or limiting the list to only the Incomplete Accounts. When working with only the incomplete accounts, all the settings of the Edit Account tool remain, as opposed to the limited tooling provided by the Incomplete Accounts list. The Is Setup value still removes the account from the incomplete list.
  • Created a new Daily Security Values blotter – our 18th blotter! Check it out at Home>>Blotter>>Security Values – add a filter by symbol if you want, set the number of days you wish to see (presently a value between 5 and 10) and Load.
  • Revised the Performance Monthly Timeline and Cash Flows reports, updating the presentation and print quality.
  • Created a new matrix for billing settings, in some cases asking you to confirm allowable-and-unusual combinations of settings and in other cases prohibiting mutually exclusive combinations of same, and applied it to Mid-term billing.
  • Created and implemented a new download interface for Fidelity Charitable Accounts.
  • Remediated an issue introduced with the PTE 2020-02 changes which caused select accounts not to bill under rare circumstances. (Implemented between releases.)
  • Continued to develop Panoramix Pro orientation, with two new Trading videos.

12/2/2021 Version 2.1.0.3

  • Created not one but two new tiles for the Advisor Dashboard: the first one displays household cash holdings (similar to the cash holdings report) for at-a-glance management of cash; and the second one displays an Account Performance view with configurable columns and display options.
  • Slightly modified the screens for maintaining both Models and Composites (in Pro) to bring consistency to the experience.
  • Added new color code highlights in Portfolio Dashboard to highlight both Accounts and Holdings with pending trades.(Pro).
  • When an advisor has established a default document folders, we now automatically add them to the list of available folders for both Batch report and Fee Statement distribution dropdown lists, eliminating the need for manual type over.
  • Added functionality to Mid-term Billing to include transactions on existing accounts such that this takes into account the setting for Weight Cash Transactions Only and minimums for same.
  • Created a new mid-term billing option to use the inception date (or billing start date) as the Value Basis for a mid-term billing.
  • Implemented new PTE 2020-02 compliance solution in billing which takes into account tiering and the account’s qualified status when determining the fee percentage so that non-qualified accounts do not receive a rate benefit simply because there are qualified accounts moving it to a lower-rate tier.
  • Modified the placement of the client address on the portrait cover page so that it now lines up with the window of a standard #10 sub 24 business envelope when folded in thirds.
  • The Additional Criteria expander of the Income blotter now includes a parameter to filter out gains (short-term/long-term capital gains) from the Income amount and displays a true/false column related to that field to indicate the inclusion status.
  • The same holds true for the Income Summary report.
  • Implemented processing changes to accommodate modifications to the existing capital gains records in the TD download earlier than the monthly synch to YTD gains files.
  • Changed how the Pershing download handles cost basis, switching from using their adjusted field to their original value data in certain circumstances.
  • Implemented processing of Schwab monthly YTD gains files for reconciliation purposes.
  • Improved the processing of dividend payment processing in the ByAllAccounts download for specific custodial sources.
  • Implemented additional date validation and handling controls for the Transaction Summary report.
  • Remediated an issue with the Risk Metrics report when produced as part of a batch whereby four of the graphs did not appear on a single landscape page even when you selected the report parameter unless you also set the batch-level generate all reports in Landscape mode setting to true.
  • Changed the contents of the help message for sub accounts to make it—um—more helpful (so Joe hopes).
  • Continued the effort to constantly label the Identifier field across the application, this release affecting the advisor-level Security report.
  • Corrected for an issue affecting billing for manually added accounts without transactions not prorating properly.
  • Made a minor change to the Performance blotter by changing some of the column labels to names more fitting to the content.
  • Remediated an issue with Goal Tracking (Pro) whereby data did not load correctly for custom benchmarks under certain conditions.
  • Focused some time on advisories with custom reports: doing general maintenance, speeding performance, and the like.
  • Updated the Asynchronous Processing video.
  • Added new Composites orientation video (for Pro).
  • Added new trading video (for Pro) one of “a few” which will follow between now and year-end.
  • Updated the FAQ document.

11/11/2021 Version 2.1.0.2

  • Added “as of month X” to the household blotter so that you can see balance snapshots from prior periods of time (using the month end dates).
  • Added qualified to the income blotter so that you can filter and see income for qualified or non-qualified accounts.
  • Altered the handling of household billing to make it easier to manage membership.
    1. You may now edit household billing settings from any of the applicable associated contact dashboards (spouse, family member, billing only). No need to always open the Head of Household record to do so.
    2. Whichever contact you use to establish household billing automatically becomes the Head of Household, even an individual with no associated contacts.
    3. If you have two contacts, both with household billing, and you wish to associate them into a single household, you will see a confirmation message that you are about to remove the values and head of household flag from the newly associated contact in favor of the settings related to the presently active contact (the one you’re adding into). You no longer need to first remove those settings manually prior to associating the contacts.
  • When you add/edit an associated contact (household member) you now have the ability to tell Panoramix whether you want to show client portal folders to other members of the spousal, family member, or portal only household by checking a box. You may also disable this globally via Settings>>Portal Settings>>Screen Settings. (The default is yes, since that is the current behavior.)
  • Added the ability to raise cash via the Panoramix Pro Trading tool based on selling holdings based on a proration of the holdings in the account or according to the account’s assigned model, if it adheres to the model.
  • Enhanced the Panoramix Pro Goal Tracking tool to incorporate “based on benchmark” into calculations and the primary graph. (The Goal Tracking tile is available on the Contact Dashboard in Panoramix Pro.)
  • From time-to-time support staff wants to see the contents of a log file stored with your Panoramix installation components on your computer’s hard drive. Under Utilities>>System Utilities you will now see options to both view that log file and to email it to Panoramix Support.
  • Changed the Pershing file download to ignore mapping new accounts to an existing company name in Panoramix when Pershing sends select wildcard characters as part of that title.
  • Altered the handling of fee transactions in Schwab’s download to properly reflect in the Fee blotter and on select reports.
  • Updated the handling of the daily pricing file inside of the FTJ data download.
  • Altered the handling of zero-value shares with a holding amount in the FAN Mail download to correct certain performance calculation methods.
  • Flipped the sign in DST Downloads containing certain fees as an account addition to make them a reduction.
  • As long as we’re talking download processing, let’s not leave TD out of the mix. Yes, we made several small changes there to accommodate alterations in how TD is passing certain transactions, including re-org transactions, select splits, and reductions in shares.
  • Resolved an issue which prevented a client from accessing all documents in the Advisor Documents folder of the Client Portal under select conditions.
  • Remediated an issue with the Goal Tracking tool where the Legacy Amount continued to display the former amount if the advisor reset it to zero dollars.
  • Added some in-application help for the Goal Tracking tool in Panoramix Pro.
  • Remediated an issue which generated an error when moving Display Order items to the bottom of the list using the double-chevron icon for Asset Classes, Asset Types, etc.
  • New orientation videos related to changes to the Asset Map, mini-sessions 3a and 3b.
  • New Panoramix Pro Overview and Composites videos.
  • Updated FAQ document.

11/1/2021 Version 2.1.0.1 - Special Release

  • Technology update including .Net Framework 4.7.2 requirement, TLS1.2 requirement on the servers and development tools updates.

10/22/2021 Version 2.1.0.0 - PANORAMIX PRO!

  • Introducing the feature set for Panoramix Pro. You now have the ability to do trading, create composites for better GIPS compliance as you move accounts between models over time, and you can do goal tracking via the new Contact Dashboard tile and the implementation of the Colby Math Engine.
  • Added a settings validation check to Billing. If your Settings parameters do not match your previously-used parameters, you’ll see a confirmation message box, giving you the opportunity to return to the settings and update them prior to execution of a billing generation which may contain incorrect parameters. You may also turn this feature off, for those of you who routinely run billing with different settings.
  • Enhanced the household blotter to include household salutation and household billing information.
  • Enhanced the Riskalyze interface to make it easier to use, differentiating between selection parameters which are mutually exclusive from one another among other things.
  • Enhanced the Riskalyze portfolio updater to recognize holdings in newly created portfolios.
  • Expanded the number of significant digits allowed for TWW return rates in the Performance blotter from ± 3 to ± 6.
  • Altered the Schedule 13F data collection to include all types of securities when engaging the “include not required items” parameter.
  • Added the ability to Exclude both accounts and holdings within an account from Schedule13F reporting with new flags at each level.
  • Added a “Defined Benefit” Registration Type.
  • Removed the save settings routine from the Cancel Bill process to reduce the maintenance required when returning to your regular billing, treating Cancel Bill as a true exception process.
  • Added a new indicator to transactions to track reconciliation method. This informational bit helps identify potential reconciliation issues.
  • Added the status of Completed to the drop-down selection list for display of Tasks. Deselect it to no longer see completed tasks.
  • Added a retry series for interrupted emails related to client portal invitations when there are service interruptions from Outlook.com.
  • Removed the unused Cancel button from the Client Portal and moved Forgot Password link from upper left of screen to where Cancel button was for more obvious access.
  • Altered the behavior of the Contact Dashboard’s Portfolio Information tile when grouping by Holding to combine holdings from different accounts into a single entry.
  • Alleviated erratic page-splitting in the Detailed Fee Invoice report.
  • Reenabled the display of household member folders in the Client Portal.
  • Remediated for an issue in Batch Reports whereby certain reports didn’t allow for multiple configurations of the same report inside a single group. For example, sometimes you might desire a portrait version of a report with a certain set of parameters and a landscape version of the same report with different—expanded—parameters. Prior to today, that type of configuration failed.
  • Fixed an issue with loading asynchronous requests into the blotter display grids when multiple requests are submitted simultaneously and the advisor attempts to view a request not yet completed.
  • Remediated a condition where billing did not use the deposit/withdrawal flag in transaction for cash transactions for average balance calculations under select conditions.
  • Corrected for a rounding issue on invoices whereby weighted cash flows rounded on the display and the sum did not. Also, the period factor filled to seven decimal places, which, under certain conditions, resulted in one-penny differences. Resolved by filling to ten decimal places. That’s precision.
  • Corrected for a specific condition in the Asset Map which prevented the editing of Security Categories when part of a filtered list.
  • There’s been a page on the Panoramix product web site which has resulted in multiple confusing support contacts as advisors have attempted to use it as a gateway to the Panoramix web app, which it isn’t. To alleviate that confusion, we retitled the page and now provide a link to the web app login from this source.
  • Updated the Billing Manual.

9/23/2021 Version 2.0.0.31

  • Check out the new Help Guides site! (Help>>Help Guides). Search for keywords in documents and the orientation videos. We’ll be refining our search capabilities over time, too.
  • Added the ability to save the setup of the column display order to asset classes, security types, blotters, the billing grid, etc.
  • Added a read-only display of which users in the firm have engaged two factor authentication and which have not to the Manage Users screen, available to users with Admin-level access to Panoramix. This will aid your ability to monitor and prove compliance with your policies to your examiners.
  • Replaced the defunct Yahoo symbol and identifier lookups in the Holdings Add/Edit screen to use IEX, restoring functionality lost when Yahoo pulled that service from its stack.
  • Added the purchase date to the Realized Gains report for added clarity.
  • Also changed a bit of back-end processing to make the Realized Gains report render more quickly for you.
  • Added Cryptocurrency as a systemic Security Type and Asset Class.
  • Added a vertical scroll bar to the post-billing-generated grid’s field list to help those with lower-resolution or smaller screens in navigating the list of fields for selection/de-selection.
  • Converted the Fidelity download interface to a new file structure in support of changes being made at the custodian between now and year end.
  • Speaking of Fidelity, we now are able to support Fidelity withdrawals as fodder for counting as part of a calculated Required Minimum Distribution where that is the case.
  • For those of you whose custodians send download data in ALL CAPS, we added a setting to parse through new download data and convert it to Name Case. (Note that we still have some imperfections in handling a last name like “van der LeuwVorsten,” but we’re good with the O’Shaughnessy’s and the like.)
  • Enhanced the SEI download to take advantage of added fields available from the custodian for initial imports.
  • Fixed the Holdings blotter to return to displaying only two-digits to right of decimal for the holding value as opposed to six (inadvertently done in the last release).
  • Remediated an issue which prevented the display of Contact info when showing cash transactions in the Transaction blotter under certain circumstances.
  • Created a fix for displaying contact/account/holding info for large number of transactions on the Transaction blotter.
  • Under certain circumstances the Do Not Download checkbox on the Edit Account screen did not display as checked when an account had previously been set not to download (it was correctly showing in the Accounts blotter). Now it does.
  • Remediated issues pertaining to the generation of the Household Cash report when the advisory has inactive clients with active cash holdings.
  • Fixed an issue with FANMail for the DST download involving price-file matching for symbols and identifiers, matching only to those on FANMail with a positive number of shares held.
  • Added some behind the scenes elements to aid support and daily reconciliation with data that will populate over time.
  • Added infrastructure components required for the introduction of pro-level product, now under a month away.

9/3/2021 Version 2.0.0.30

  • Correction for the transaction blotter where you cannot double click and open the client.

9/2/2021 Version 2.0.0.29

  • We added an entirely new Value Basis to Billing. Called “Average – Month End Values.” This new Value Basis is yet another average calculation using the month end only values for the X + 1 months in your Y billing period. (That is, a quarterly billing at the end of September, for example, will use the month-end values for June, July, August, and September divided by four to determine the value basis for billing.) We anticipate this to be a relatively popular choice.
  • Added the Additional Criteria expander to the Transaction blotter, giving you the ability to pre-filter by custodian, symbol, identifier, fund name and transaction type. You also now have the ability to return holding, account, and contact information by checking the appropriate include checkbox(es).
  • Added the ability to alter and affix the display order for Asset Class, Security Type, and Security Category on reports.
  • Added the Qualified parameter (All, Qualified, Non-qualified) to the Income Summary, Cost Basis, and Realized Gains reports.
  • Revised the Asset Change report to filter out accounts with a zero-value for the beginning, ending, and cash flow amounts for the period covered by the report.
  • A couple releases ago we made some changes to the editability of some billing fields at the account level in the presence of a household billing override. We revisit that with this release, relaxing a few of the restrictions based on advisor use cases.
  • Altered the Edit Contact Categories grid to wrap text rather than expand the column width. (Hint – if your text wraps, consider a shorter name for your Contact Category.)
  • Changed the Client Portal so that files show the Created Date and not the Modified Data in the date column, which we also moved to the right of the display grid.
  • Added more DST transaction types to the RMD calculation formula.
  • Revised the Wealthbox integration so that the note date in Panoramix retains the created date from Wealthbox instead of using the imported-to-Panoramix date.
  • Under specific circumstances the Account Inception Date displayed incorrectly on the Edit Account screen while showing correctly in the Account blotter and elsewhere. Fixed it.
  • The users of the web app now have access to the Help Guides from within the menu options, just as with the desktop app.
  • Remediated an issue whereby an account in a billing only household relationship did not appear in the Select Account list in the report viewer under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed the column width settings on the Allocation Comparison report to make them consistent between account allocation and target allocation.
  • Resolved for an error when double-clicking an account to view it from the Data>>View Data>>Edit Account list.
  • Updated the Billing Manual and Billing Quick Reference Guide to include information related to the new Average – Month End Values Value Basis.

8/11/2021 Version 2.0.0.28

  • Added the ability to apply minimum and maximum fees on a fee schedule by account, in addition to the portfolio overall (which has been in place long since).
  • Revised the display of the mathematical details on billing invoices for advisors using weighted cash flows as part of the value basis so as to comply with the findings of a recently audited advisory’s review document.
  • Excluded holdings will now show up in the calculations as such for traceability.
  • For the Income report, reinvested dividends for TD now appear as income, consistent with Schwab.
  • Enabled the keyboard’s up/down arrow keys for grid navigation throughout the Portfolio Dashboard.
  • Enhanced the TD download process to better handle advisory mergers and acquisitions.
  • Remediated an issue with monthly timeline report on the web app to ensure full information display.
  • Remediated an issue with selecting the group by in the portfolio information widget on the client dashboard.
  • Resized the date column all Statement reportx to accept all mm/dd/yyyy data widths.
  • Restored two bits of functionality to the Contact Dashboard errantly dropped in the last release: first the ability to update Riskalyze scores by clicking on the score number signs; and second the functionality of the include all accounts checkbox.
  • Resolved a profile communication issue with Riskalyze which affected updating Panoramix profiles under select conditions.
  • Remediated two data access and display issues involving the audit log, one of which also affected the recently viewed clients list.
  • Updated Wealthbox integration document.

7/22/2021 Version 2.0.0.27

  • We’re improving the performance of the Portfolio Dashboard and Edit Account screens with this release.
  • Added the ability to display current cash balance (via the Additional Criteria expander) and capability to select a year range to the RMD blotter, making it more useful.
  • Because the Portfolio Snapshot clearly doesn’t have a sufficient number of parameters already, we’re adding one called Combine Market Results which combines Net Income, Market Gains/Loss, and Management Fees into a single bucket called Investment Gain (obviously, this can yield a negative number).
  • Speaking of the Portfolio Snapshot report, we’re introducing a similar report at the account level called, oddly enough, the Account Snapshot report.
  • Added a new global setting (Settings>>>User Settings>>Other) to allow advisors to disable the display of the custodian in the Account Description display of applicable reports. NOTE: before you engage this setting make sure you check with your compliance resource as some states require the display of the custodian on reports and this is the only method for meeting that need in Panoramix. (We originally added this in release 1.1.0.88, August 29, 2019, to meet requirements of the state of Washington, but since then other states have implemented the requirement.)
  • Created a portrait version of the Income Summary report which displays when the advisor elects to display only the Portfolio and Account summaries.
  • Added mail merge fields for form letters and emails based on requests for the flexibility in customizing messages.
  • When a client has household billing enabled, Panoramix now disables the ability to set those settings at the account level and you will see a warning in the Billing and Performance tile that this account is subject to household billing overrides.
  • Enhanced the Schwab billing file export in two ways: first by no longer exporting negative dollar amount fees, which cause both the direct and manual file uploads to fail, and second by adhering to newly implemented field lengths for the contact name. Panoramix now truncates the latter at 35 characters.
  • Created a new process for importing address updates made at Schwab into Panoramix.
  • Improved the Fidelity download’s ability to handle capitalization in name fields, including last names such as O’Shaughnessy.
  • Converted the Category Display list in the Contacts List to a multi-select list for greater flexibility in filtering your contacts.
  • Established a new batch reporting default setting to skip zero-dollar accounts.
  • Enabled the keyboard’s delete key for the removal of grid rows in the tiles of the Portfolio Dashboard, eliminating the need to select Delete from the tile’s hamburger menu.
  • Developed a thicker skin and stopped being so sensitive—in this instance case sensitive—with our Wealthbox contact name-matching interface.
  • Enhanced the Form Letter generation workflow for ease of use and added functionality. A new multi-tab interface allows more screen real estate for each function, and provides the space to allow for additional output options, similar to billing statement generation.
  • When you have a company name as part of your contact record and select use this as contact display name you most likely anticipate that will be the case. We found—and fixed—two cases where it was not. One was in the Associated Contacts display and the other was in the Client Portal.
  • Fixed the scrolling issue that existed for blotters Additional Criteria expanders when used at certain screen resolutions.
  • Corrected the name display logic for Fee Statements generated as part of billing wherein the statement did not show the Head of Household Salutation, as one expects.
  • Remediated two issues related to report production within the Web App. The first of those issues involved the placement of Portfolio Snapshot graphs not matching the desktop app under certain conditions and the second involved improper alignment of sub-reports when switching from portrait versions to landscape versions and back again.
  • Ensured that the billing fee statements always uses the flagged head of household name for the folder name when saving to a local folder with Save for Each Client, Separate Folder Per Client, and Group by Household all set to true.
  • Eliminated the display of an unnecessary error message when no reports generate as part of a batch execution of a group due to the selection of Use Delivery Options.
  • Corrected for an issue involving two-factor authentication on the Web App.
  • Remediated for an issue with the Generic performance report showing cash flows that were not true flows when four conditions met. 1) Mid-month start date. 2) TD accounts only. 3) Pending transactions on the start date that did not settle until a later date. 4) Month end ending date.
  • Remediated an issue with the display of user defined fields in the mail merge lists
  • Resolved for an error in updating Riskalyze data in real time (completed between releases).
  • Remediated for an issue in displaying account descriptions on the portrait version of the Portfolio Snapshot report when only two columns of data configured for display (completed between releases).
  • Fixed an issue with keeping the landscape extended view version of the Portfolio Snapshot report to two pages when run as part of a report group and other specific portfolio conditions present (completed between releases).
  • Remediated for an issue whereby advisors received a general error message when printing a report group containing a .PDF file created prior to release 2.0.0.19 (March 4, 2021) and for which the file path is no longer available (either temporarily or permanently).
  • Updated the FAQ.

6/24/2021 Version 2.0.0.26

  • We have enhanced the Data>>Find Account tool to allow you to search by Contact, Account Description, and Account Number (or any portion thereof for any of those).
  • Made some significant changes to the Riskalyze interface in an effort to make it easier to use, create fewer portfolios on Riskalyze, and alter the default behavior to that of retrieving scores only.
  • Added the Sort Name to all Blotters which contain Contact data to make it easier for you to sort by last name, first name.
  • Added the ability to display the Account Description to the grid in the Portfolio Returns tile of the Contact Dashboard. (Apparently memorizing client account numbers by account description is not a forte for several people. We hear you.)
  • Altered the display of Realized Gains in certain circumstances. Under select conditions, Panoramix used to calculate the Realized Gains even if we had a custodial value for it. Now we use that custodian-provided figure.
  • Continued to enhance the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) tooling in Panoramix to better accommodate calculations for inherited IRAs.
  • Improved the performance of the Contact Dashboard by eliminating the capacity for creating a rare user-created error involving loading Receivables prior to data being available.
  • The Accounts and Holdings blotters pick up different (better!) data when selecting Use Current Account Attributes on the Additional Criteria tab.
  • The maximum number of shares displayed on certain screens such as Blotters, the Portfolio Dashboard, etc., was five digits left and four digits right of the decimal. This caused something such as 100000.1234 shares owned to display as 00000.1234. We changed the format to 10.4 characters.
  • Corrected a display issue with the portrait version of the Portfolio Snapshot report whereby benchmarks did not appear in the proper location under select conditions.
  • Corrected for an issue when generating multiple groups of reports as part of a single batch run whereby the settings applied to each group did not stick unless the advisor activated each group’s tab in the batch in that interim step between clicking generate on the Batch Reports screen and executing the creation of the batch.
  • Remediated an issue with the Investment Summary report whereby the Asset Allocation chart did not properly reflect the mix when run as of today, was grouped by Asset Class, and the portfolio contained a manually created account with no holdings with a creation date between the end of the prior month and the report date.
  • Resolved an issue with the benchmark returns on the Generic performance report when grouping by something other than account number, for periods exceeding one year, using money weighted benchmarks, for a TD account with a pending transaction over a month end.
  • Identified and remediated for an issue with the FeeX download whereby incomplete position files from FeeX held unintended consequences in Panoramix.
  • Corrected the title on the client portal regenerate link confirmation message box.

6/3/2021 Version 2.0.0.25

  • Changed our Google Calendar interface to accommodate changes at Google which resulted in failed appointment creation. Google now no longer supports continued verification of clients across product releases, meaning that if you’re using Google Calendar you will need to re-authenticate. See the new instructional video under Help>>HelpGuides.
  • For those who employ multiple Outlook Calendars, we now let you display something other than the default Outlook calendar as your default Panoramix calendar. You’ll no longer have to select your preferred calendar every session—whatever calendar you had active the last time you closed Panoramix will be the active one when you reenter.
  • Continued our efforts to make content labeling consistent across reports, this time by affecting the client-level Fee Summary and Income Summary, and advisor-level Clients with Identifier reports.
  • When you set a Billing Start Date for an account to the first day of a billing period, Panoramix now includes that account in your standard period calculation method as opposed to prorating it for the portion of the year covered (we already prevented the perception of overbilling in long periods and now we prevent “underbilling in short ones”). All other dates still prorate properly.
  • Converted the Dropbox integration process from using the Panoramix internal browser control to engaging your default Windows browser for added functionality and ease of use.
  • Added the ability to use the client’s Third Party Export Folder settings to Dropbox and Save to Local Folder output locations when engaging Additional Delivery Options at group /batch report generation.
  • Added an Asset Class of Municipal Bond Taxible to the base list of Asset Classes to go along with the Tax Free one while at the same time leaving Municiple Bond alone for those of you who don’t track the difference.
  • Eliminated an error condition when assigning a new primary owner to an account whilst having immediately previously added a new owner.
  • Corrected an issue that affected the establishment of new thresholds for tracking notification.
  • Removed Use Delivery Options when generating a report group for an individual client.
  • Under rare circumstances (one that we know of) Panoramix started “out of order” resulting in an error message at startup. Fixed this by ensuring the proper load order for components.
  • Resolved an issue with the display order of Investment Objectives in the select list.
  • Love (OK, tolerate) the orientation/training videos but severely annoyed by the quizes? Today is celebration day for you. All the quizes have been pulled out of the videos as we start the process of switching hosting providers to YouTube—which will also make the videos render more smoothly for those of you troubled by the herkey jerky pauses. (Don’t worry, we saved all the quiz questions and they’ll be back in a different format for those of you who wish to earn your Panoramix chops through testing.)
  • Updated the FAQ document

5/13/2021 Version 2.0.0.24

  • After several releases in limited-advisory-beta mode, the Schwab APIs are ready for full engagement. Before you proceed to implement for your advisory, watch the Schwab API video available from Help>>Help Guides or here.
  • Created the ability to be notified either email (existed), SMS text message (new!), both, or neither when one of your clients uploads a document to the Client Portal for you to review. Check it out at Settings>>Portal Settings>>New Document Notices.
  • Another exciting addition to our most popular report, the Portfolio Snapshot. You now have the ability to display any combination of two of the three available graphs on the report, with the new graph being a portfolio performance since inception graph. That’s nine different potential combinations of graphic displays for this report..
  • Added the ability to disable the email notification of new documents being added to the client portal when the advisor is manually uploading documents via the Documents tile of the Contact Dashboard.
  • Enhanced the speed at which reports print from the Client Portal and the web app.
  • Enhanced the performance of the RedTail “link only” process, reducing the time required to complete links by a considerable margin.
  • Relabeled several screen elements related to the Client Portal settings to more clearly explain the settings’ actions and results.
  • Altered the interface for the Performance Blotter to eliminate confusion over the use of a start date, converting that entry to allow month and year only.
  • Added the Use for Correspondence value for emails to the Contact blotter.
  • Moved several Client Portal support functions—such as Send Invitations—into a new software architecture for greater efficiency and reduction in internet traffic.
  • Enhanced the Generic performance report to include a concatenation of the masked account number and the account description when grouping by the account number at the secondary tiering level.
  • Realigned columns between the “upper grid” and the “lower grid” of the Edit Account Data tool at initial load, for some of you eagle eyes noticed the variation starting with the Discretionary column.
  • Eliminated the difference between the displays of the last log in date in the Contacts blotter and in the Edit Contact screen ‘s Client Portal tile when the in that period of time between invitation send and first log in. The date 1/1/1800 no longer appears in the tile.
  • Made the behavior for document management more consistent in terms of messages and actions required when deleting potentially large quantities of documents across multiple folders.
  • Within batch reporting, rectified an issue which prevented the display of individual details when no actions selected for the batch and certain other conditions exist.
  • In order to make Panoramix more responsive, we take advantage of your local computer memory to cache certain data, sometimes for short periods, sometimes for whole sessions (until refreshed by you or by some action you take). Suffice it to say that we altered the conditions under which we refresh that cache for report titles, thereby eliminating a rare circumstance whereby you may wish to title a report with an individual's name instead of the head of household salutation immediately after having run a household report using the salutation.

4/22/2021 Version 2.0.0.23

  • The general updating to report layouts and modernization continues with the release of revised statements and the Account Summary Report, the latter of which also includes new display parameters.
  • Created a new Transactions report which offers the ability to print the bottom portion of the statement as a separate report, with various time-period-filters—including date range.
  • Implemented a new Account-level parameter to allow Insurance-product accounts that have holdings associated with them to appear in the Insurance and Other Investments section of the Investment Summary report and in statements, as opposed to the Standard Investments section. Find it in the Account Edit screen.
  • Submitting support requests via Help>>Support Request becomes far more useful with this release, as now you may add attachments in support of your support request. (With deep appreciation from the support staff to our supportive developers, who the support staff consults for support.)
  • Enhanced User Defined Field data types to support multi-select combo boxes and corresponding data retention. (Did you even know Panoramix had UDFs? They’re very useful. Settings>>Static Data>>User Defined Fields—both contact and account level.)
  • Added a parameter to the Account Performance History report to hide the display of the Portfolio Returns section of the report. This now makes it the perfect companion to the Portfolio Snapshot in that it will no longer repeat the portfolio information once you set this new parameter.
  • Enhanced the Upcoming Appointments tile of the Advisory Dashboard. If you’ve sent a calendar invitation using Google or Outlook, and if you’ve linked your Google or Outlook calendar to Panoramix, you now have the option of including a display of attendees for the meeting in Panoramix. (Settings>>Data Settings>>Calendar (Outlook or Google) and check Load Attendees>>Save.) In the Upcoming Appointments tile, use the expander to display attendees for an appointment. Double-click an attendee who is also a Panoramix contact and go directly to the Contact Dashboard for that person.
  • Added verify action buttons to all email settings to test basic connectivity and validation of credentials without needing to send test messages to locate errors.
  • Made the Household Cash report more flexible by adding a dollar threshold parameter to limit the size of the report.
  • Reviewed all reports for consistency in rounding dollars—older snapshots don’t all carry all dollar decimal digits four-to-six places to the right, and not all reports handled the differences in like manners, which could result in cents differences between reports—which bothers some of your more highly analytical clients.
  • Enhanced the Libretto interface to include cost basis in the file exchange from Panoramix to Libretto.
  • Added logging events around email processing and exceptions to better trace creation of messages.
  • Made the benchmark calculations on the 1 Yr. Performance Report consistent with the other performance reports when running as of today.
  • Added usability features to the interface to support smaller and lower resolution screens when viewing the batch reports process Reports and Settings tabs.
  • Worked with Schwab to resolve what they interpreted as a malformed billing file under certain conditions
  • Removed a data return condition in the Documents blotter which prevented the blotter from displaying rows unless the advisor entered both a starting and ending date into the Additional Criteria expander.
  • Corrected for a condition which caused batch reporting and batch statement generation to cause an unexpected session termination under certain circumstances.
  • Under a specific set of five steps completed in that sequence the Blotters generated a bogus error message. Now they don’t.
  • Made it possible to move collections of documents from one folder to another in the document viewer as opposed to a singleton action.
  • Revised a routine in Household Billing whereby a Fee Override …OK, so, this one is most specific and rare. Suffice it to say that we’ve worked to resolve differences with all advisors who had one of these. If you haven’t heard from us already, you didn’t.
  • Remediated for an issue whereby a master username could not upload a .PDF document to the Online Shared (advisory level) folder under select conditions.
  • Fixed an issue related to running a group report for an individual client where the group contains a .PDF file not originally added by the advisor running the report group and where the .PDF is located in a space to which the running advisor does not have security access. (How’s that for specificity?)
  • Corrected for an error when generating a report group containing an embedded PDF for a large number of clients.
  • Remediated for an issue with the Riskalyze interface whereby a client’s name in Panoramix updated when retrieving scores only for the individual client under certain circumstances.
  • Updated the General Reporting Manual.
  • Updated the Batch Report Manual.
  • Updated the Batch Report Quick Reference Guide.

3/22/2021 Version 2.0.0.20

  • Completely revamped the performance report suite—Account Performance History; Monthly, Quarterly, Annual, YTD, and Generic Performance; Performance Monthly Timeline; 1 Year Performance; and Account Performance Summary. The redesign coordinates with the two-page version of the Portfolio Snapshot—which also gets a minor tweak—to present a uniform looking package when presented together (several common combinations). We based the changes on requests from multiple advisories. In the case of the Account Performance History Report we’re also presenting more, and more relevant, information than did the prior version. Check them all out!
  • Introducing asynchronous processing for the blotters! Yes, like asynchronous processing for billing, you now have the ability to enable the option (Settings>>User Settings>>Other) and then use the Load Async button on the blotter interface when you wish to kick off a blotter load that will run whilst you go about doing other work in Panoramix. (See the Asynchronous Processing video via Help>>Help Guides for more information.)
  • Have you ever wanted to sort a blotter by column [X] followed by a sort on column [Y]? Now you can. First perform your first column sort in the normal manner. Then use CTRL+Click on the second column header to create the secondary sort. Add more columns to the sort in the same manner.
  • Added the ability to copy (duplicate) a report group, including the report content and all report settings so that you can use one group as the basis for modifying a second. The new menu selection also facilitated the move from in-tile buttons to a drop-down “hamburger menu,” which is slowly being introduced throughout the interface.
  • Continued to enhance the Schwab API with improved processing within their billing API.
  • Updated all  the interface elements (called controls) that we purchase from a particular vender (Infragistics) to the latest version. This is something we do regularly, and don’t always mention.
  • Improved the details included in messaging related to batch report generation results for reports which did not generate—either due to a setting or due to an error.
  • Corrected an issue with the Holdings Summary report whereby insurance products with no holdings grouped together under certain conditions, resulting in a loss of clarity related to the various products held (though all the math still worked).
  • Not every client portal event Panoramix traces reflected properly in the audit log. Fixed it.
  • Remediated an issue whereby the account closed date did not properly display in the Accounts blotter under certain conditions.
  • Fixed an issue with Avery label production when grouped by household and using the salutation field on the label.
  • Reconfigured settings on the Holdings grid in the Portfolio Dashboard to make it easier to open a desired security via double-click, and not unintentionally opening one when using the scroll bars.
  • On the security and housekeeping side of things, we further tightened access controls over operational log files, reconfigured security layers for scheduled tasks, and substantially improved warning alerts for items requiring human intervention in daily processing.
  • Updated FAQ documentation.

3/4/2021 Version 2.0.0.19

  • The Portfolio Dashboard has a new look to it, with both added functionality and improved performance. Check out the new “hamburger menu” on the left of the tiles replacing the blue button-menu selections, for example.
  • Changed the storage location for .PDF files included in Report Groups from the local storage location to the Panoramix database. This makes it so that all agents of the advisory may generate the report package without needing security access to that storage location. To take advantage of this feature, you will need to remove the .PDF from the report group and re-add it.
  • When printing Notes, the print function now honors the sort order of the grid in the new grid version of the Notes tile and in the legacy tile.
  • Added a Critical Note tag to notes. A Critical Note will show up as a pop-up when you access the contact. This is great for notes you need everyone in the firm to see, or about which you simply need to remind yourself, such as “Getting married June 5.” Uncheck the Critical flag when you no longer want the pop up.
  • Added a Display Portrait parameter and accompanying portrait version of the Holdings Summary report. The portrait version contains fewer columns of information.
  • Worked on making Models easier to create and maintain by improving the handling of, and messaging around, values that could not be successfully saved for one reason or another.
  • Continued to enhance the Schwab API integration through the pilot program. General availability for all who custody with Schwab anticipated later this month. More to come!
  • Added a Gains Transactions as Income parameter to the Account Summary report (checked by default to mirror current behavior) which removes capital gains from the income calculation when unchecked. 
  • There remained a handful of places (report and account properties) where the screen made it appear that you could enter any date when, in reality, the date needs to be a month end. Those have been converted to fields which only allow month-end values. While this doesn’t alter actual functionality, it should eliminate confusion—always a good thing.
  • Revamped the display of a couple of the Advisor Dashboard charts to better display identifier-based (non-ticker-symbol) holdings.
  • Revamped the Schedule 13F interface for more consistent display of identifiers across all holdings.
  • Added a vertical scroll bar to the billing payouts screen to accommodate advisors with a large number of payout schedules.
  • Eliminated the appearance of a “publish error” message when deleting a report group when there is no such error in processing.
  • Updated the federal tax bracket list for 2021 for those of you tracking this as part of your client data.
  • Added the ability to select accounts as report parameters to the web interface, part of our effort to bring feature parity to the web app.
  • Fixed an issue that precluded the ability to edit an Asset Class mix for Models under specific conditions.
  • Remediated an issue with the Investment Summary Report not reconciling to the TD statement under specific (and rare) conditions.
  • For a brief period, the Show Graph parameter for that same Investment Summary report removed only one of the two pie charts when unchecked. Once again it removes both (fixed between releases).
  • Resolved for an issue whereby the account closing date did not render properly on the Accounts blotter under certain conditions.
  • Corrected for an issue whereby the Monthly Assets and Fees tiles on the Advisory Dashboard did not save their sort settings between Panoramix sessions under select circumstances.
  • Under certain conditions, reports in a report group did not use their most recently saved parameter settings when executed from the web application (worked fine in the desktop app). Now they do.
  • Remediated an issue with the Customer Investment Summary report on the Client Portal.
  • Corrected an issue which prevented the Last Login date from displaying in the Contact Information screen under certain conditions.
  • Resolved an issue with the Customer Investment Summary report execution logging when viewed from the Client Portal.
  • Updated FAQ documentation.

2/11/2021 Version 2.0.0.18

  • Added a plethora of traceability and recovery features to batch reporting. Need to prove for an audit or review that you checked that email to client checkbox? You can see all your settings from prior runs (starting after this release). Lost power in the middle of a large batch run? Resume where you left off. And more.
  • When using the Use Deliver Options parameter with batch reports we added the ability to generate two PDF documents at the end of the process. One document for only those clients to whom you will mail the resulting output, and a second document containing everything which you may desire to save for compliance purposes.
  • Enhanced the E*Trade integration to include rep code values in the download.
  • Further enhanced the Fidelity integration to auto-reconcile additional transaction types.
  • Remediated an issue with the Basic Summary report’s allocation chart display, making it consistent with other reports (such as the Investment Summary report).
  • Added additional preventatives around household billing to ease administration. For example, Panoramix now checks to see whether or not a contact is already associated with another household via a billing only relationship before allowing a household override.
  • Corrected an issue with RMDs for Inherited IRAs.

1/15/2021 Version 2.0.0.16

  • Schwab: we’re implementing a trainload of behind-the-scenes integration that will eventually make “life with Schwabitrade” easier. For those who custody with Schwab already, we plan to expose changes over the course of the next few releases. It’s rather like painting a house, though. First you need to do a lot of prep work in order for the paint to stand up over time. This release is all about the scraping, hole-filling, and priming before we apply the paint.
  • For those of you already using Asynchronous Processing—and why aren’t you, by the way?—we added sound and a change to the Panoramix icon in the Windows Task Bar as additional notifications that an off-loaded task is complete and ready for your review.
  • Altered the display order and added to the number of selections available in the column-content parameters in performance reports to be more user friendly for newer users, and to offer additional choices as to what to see in those columns.
  • Invested some major time in download processing in this cycle: for new custodian and custodial changes via ByAllAccounts, for changes at Fidelity and UBS, and minor others.
  • We also invested some effort in looking at some longer-running processes in our overnight cycle and found some efficiency improvements there. You won’t see those directly, of course, but you may come to appreciate them by the fact that month-end processing won’t extend deeper into the first day of the month. (Remember, that’s Noon central time.)
  • Remediated a leap-year calculation issue when displaying select non-money-weighted benchmarks in conjunction with the full calendar year 2020 on a performance report.
  • Remediated an issue with the Statement reports not using a newly updated value from the Cash Value field for manually entered accounts.
  • Implemented additional controls to prevent an unwarranted error message from appearing when sequentially double-clicking multiple contacts from the Recent Contact tile of the Advisory Dashboard.
  • If you run batch reports, you no-doubt encountered a message box that made you ask a question about its validity. It had none in the majority of cases, and with this release we altered the logic that made it display. (This one reminds me of the first release of Windows 95 and an interesting issue with that build. If you want the story, shoot me an email with the subject “I wanna know!”)
  • Sometimes removing a feature set is just as important as—or even more important than—the stuff you add. With this release we removed the ability to complete en masse overrides of billing and performance exclusions by holding from the Asset Map simply because so doing created unintended consequences for a very small number of advisors.
  • Updated Billing Manual.
  • Updated Billing Quick Reference Guide.
  • NEW video - Asynchronous Processing in Panoramix.

2020 Releases

12/17/2020 Version 2.0.0.15

  • Restored the ability to sort the Household Assets tile on the Advisor Dashboard by last name. And my personal apologies for not recognizing that as a use case for that tile when we did the last release changes to that tile.
  • Sometimes billing and blotter loads can take a long time. Sometimes they take long enough that your firm�s firewall settings cut off the connection and leave you hanging. No more. With this release we introduce an amazing new thing. Go ahead. Enable this new optional feature. Submit your billing. You�ll see that processing gears appear in the upper right portion of the screen. You can go about your business in Panoramix, doing other things. When the processing gears turn into a bell, click that bell and select which request you wish to see. Panoramix loads the data and returns you to the screen. No more need to start billing and go to lunch. No more firewall time outs. All the processing is completed while you do other stuff.
  • Created consistency in behavior between producing batch reports and producing statements using the delivery options setting when it comes to production of the final printable .PDF file. That is, batch reports will not work as Fee Statements has for some time, with the file containing only those clients desiring printed statements for physical mailing. This should save some of you a bit of paper.
  • Remediated an issue with the Fee Statement History Grid not displaying sums from the Sigma tool.
  • Updated the FAQ Documentation.

11/24/2020 Version 2.0.0.13

  • Remember when we pushed Panoramix 2.0 earlier this year and promised that we would deliver a cleaner-looking set of screens in the not too distant future as part of that application uplift? The future has arrived. You’ll notice a cleaner presentation to the three main dashboards with this release, including the removal of some of the static clutter on the Advisor Dashboard.
  • Added new tile options to the Contact Dashboard, one to show the most recent 20 transactions across all accounts in the portfolio, and another to display the current positions with the cost basis.
  • Further enhanced the Documents tile of the Contact Dashboard to include a search function.
  • Added a Save Settings button to the billing Fee Statements generation tab so that settings can be saved without having to generate a statement batch.
  • Made several changes to the Notes tiles. Added a print function to the summary viewer. Added a cancel action confirmation when a note is changed—that is, if you edit a note and then cancel that action, an “Are you sure” message appears warning that the change will not be saved. (There is also a user setting you may enable to disable that functionality if you find yet another AYS question box simply too annoying for words. By the way, how’s that for clarity? “Enable to disable.” Nice.)
  • Added a parameter to remove zero-balance households from the Household Assets tile on the Advisor Dashboard.
  • Here is a mid-list brain teaser. Can a holding ever lose more than 100% of its value? The answer is “why yes, yes it can.” However, from now on we’re going to cap losses at 100% of value for a holding in a single month for the Modified Dietz (TWW) return calculation. This will negate the impact of, for example, near-infinity negative returns on overdrawn cash accounts (fees) that are only brought to zero annually.
  • In the last six weeks three different advisories asked us to add an easier way to identify deposits and withdrawals from other transactional activity on accounts. We’ve added a flag for that now. And we are in the process of updating the historical data in all of Panoramix to use that flag. Those updates should complete next week. With this release we’ve also added it to the Transaction blotter, so you can start to check it out now.
  • Added a data reload of the Accounts list in the Portfolio Dashboard when there are account ownership changes, so as to automatically refresh the Accounts list if needed.
  • Added settings to the Asset Map to make it easier for you to manage billing and performance at the holdings level firm wide. Those new settings are Exclude for Billing, Billing Override, and Exclude from Performance.
  • Made two changes to the post-generate billing grid to make it more useful. First, added an automatic display of the total amount of the Adjusted Fee so that you have it right away instead of needing to click the sigma symbol, select sum, and click the checkmark to display it. Secondly, added a notification related to the accounts which are underfunded in cash, so you know right away those clients for whom you need to raise cash in order to cover your management fees.
  • On the payouts side of the billing equation, we added a grid that summarizes the payouts by recipient across the payout schedules so that you don’t need to export to Excel and pivot in order to get those totals if you don’t want to. (For compliance reasons, please continue to export the payout results to Excel, if for no other reason than to have them for when you are audited.)
  • There’s a two-point standard that applies to making a data-centric application more efficient. One is “throw an index on it.” Two is “Write better code.” With this release we took advantage of standard two to help out the efficiency of loading the Incomplete Accounts list. We also applied standard two to the generate billing process, which should be a bit faster now.
  • Remediated a rare issue with Riskalyze authentication synchronization.
  • Fixed the calendar reminder snooze function to match the time selected for snoozing.
  • Established additional security protocols for accessing the client portal.
  • Updated the FAQ Documentation.

11/05/2020 Version 2.0.0.11

  • Created a new report called the Holdings report, which is similar to the Account Summary report when grouped by security, except the account-level breakouts. It’s a true portfolio holdings report.
  • Enhanced the AdvisorPeak Utility interface for ease of use.
  • Boosted the performance of the Contact Dashboard upon subsequent access following a layout change such as a tile resizing.
  • Enhanced the built-in email message editor for usability, including making the send button more obvious and available.
  • Added another success/failure indicator to the batch reporting process to indicate failure to print an Individual report with a group.
  • Changed the Riskalyze authentication methodology and process to accommodate changes in supported technology by Riskalyze.
  • Corrected for an issue whereby the sort order for the task lists did not save between Panoramix sessions for certain advisors under certain conditions.
  • Remediated an issue which generates an error on the Web App when using Edge as the accessing browser and accessing the Billing Email Settings page.
  • Remediated a specific issue with mid-term billing when the value basis is End of Period Plus Weighted Cash Flows.
  • Corrected for an issue whereby a non-primary user could not assign a Contact Category to a contact when that Contact Category description contains a comma.
  • Documentation updates:
    1. FAQ Update
    2. Billing Manual update

10/15/2020 Version 2.0.0.9

  • Billing in the web app. Let me repeat that. You can now run your billing in the web app.
  • And speaking of billing, we’ve added another significant enhancement. Now you may establish multiple additional fees, each with their own schedule. Need 100% of your annual financial planning fee to come out at the end of the second quarter? Set it up for a July billing run payment. Need a one-time fee or refund? Set it up via this new account-level or household-level  billing feature.
  • We’re not done with billing just yet. Billing statements with the Use Delivery Options parameter active received significant attention this round to ensure actions completed as flagged for households and individual clients alike and that the email resend option succeeds.
  • To make it abundantly clear that Panoramix is a billing tool, we also remediated an issue with the average balance calculation for accounts with a specific mid-term start date.
  • Apparently a number of you have been exporting either the Contacts or Accounts blotters along with the Households blotter to Excel™ only to complete a VLOOKUP() or XLOOKUP() function to pull in the Household Portfolio Value. Those days are over. We added that field to both of those blotters.
  • For those of you who are color driven, you may now custom-color code security categories. These colors display in the Securities tile of the Portfolio Dashboard. As with all color assignments, in cases where more than one color might apply, Panoramix uses the color of the lowest ID number in displays.
  • Enhanced the Allocation Comparison report to include expanders to reveal holdings and current amounts within the asset class groupings. Also added an Expanded parameter to the report to expand all upon rendering.
  • Enhanced the ByAllAccounts interface to handle data anomalies within the feed so as to properly label account types and corresponding transactions for Keystone.
  • Updated the Fidelity import to ensure that Panoramix contains the cost basis for share class conversions on both sides of the transaction in all cases, increasing reporting accuracy.
  • Added additional logging items related to client activity on the portal to the audit log.
  • At the end of the day, not the end of this list, we added a process to remove no-longer-needed cost basis records for zero-share holdings.
  • Enhanced the export to Excel™ for the Realized Gains blotter so that it exports both the upper and lower grid (previously only exported the lower, detail, grid).
  • Individuals with read-only access could access the newly introduced green save buttons for maintainable items under the Data menu. Now they can’t.
  • Revised the methodology for calculating fees to use the period pro rata factor where an account has a billing start date override and the advisor is using an Actual Days calculation and that calculation results in a pro rata larger than the period factor.
  • For those exporting billing to LPL, we updated the file headers to conform to newly enforced requirements.
  • Situation: group a performance report by something other than account; if you happen to have more than two accounts with inception dates within the first calendar month of your report’s starting date, and one of those accounts held securities that rolled off in that initial calendar month, then the performance number for the group didn’t calculate correctly. Until now. We try to test everything.
  • Remediated for a rare condition whereby an Outlook™-based Sent Mail folder item could return in a subsequently-viewed contact’s Recent emails tile if the advisor switches contacts using the most recently-viewed contacts ribbon icons to execute the switch, and that recent emails list had not yet finished building for the previous contact.
  • Fixed an issue with the Generic Performance report whereby fees displayed when the Show Fees checkbox is deselected for select Group By options.
  • Remediated a condition with the Generic Performance report which existed when annualizing the returns in cases where a holding was in the account for less than twelve months. The holding's return reflects the period held, and the account and portfolio returns annualize.
  • Introduced better controls over the behavior of many of the grids (Edit Data, Generate Fees, the various blotters, etc.) and how they respond to double-clicks when scrolling both vertically and horizontally. The highlighted row no longer inadvertently opens.
  • Corrected for an issue with the WebApp whereby the account edit function took a misplaced dependency on the presence of categories, groups, or managed portfolios, resulting in a runtime error.
  • Documentation and Video updates

9/17/2020 Version 2.0.0.8

  • Completed the initial integration with AdvisorPeak.
  • Altered the default behavior of the Contact list for a new advisor so that contacts display without having the new advisor select which contact types they would like to see. By default all will now show instead of none.
  • When adding a new contact, the section related to portal creation is now disabled, eliminating the potential of endeavoring to create a portal invitation for a contact that does not yet exist. Also remediated an issue with the creation of the Online folder for a contact created manually.
  • Corrected issues in processing emails, and simplified the creation of print output, when creating statements from the billing process’s Fee Statements screen and when using the use delivery options parameter.
  • Remediated an issue related to saving contact category information when adding a contact via the associated contacts screen’s add contact process. Also eliminated a rare error which could happen in this process.
  • Fixed a screen refresh issue following the deletion of a task under certain conditions.
  • Rectified an issue whereby advisors were unable to remove an owner from an account via the Account Edit screen under select conditions.
  • Reworked the Google Calendar integration to function with Microsoft Edge, now that Google has suspended Internet Explorer 11 support in that interface.
  • Corrected issues with the Cost Basis and Realized Gains reports whereby holdings amounts were doubled for select items under certain conditions (off release).
  • Documentation and Video updates

    1. August webinar posted
    2. FAQ (updated)
    3. Billing Manual and Quick Reference Guide updates

8/20/2020 Version 2.0.0.6

  • More Blotters on the Web. We continue to roll out the blotters, this time focusing on the performance blotter as a main feature.
  • Corrected for an issue on the Cash Flow report where transactions on an account�s inception date failed to appear under certain conditions.
  • Remediated an issue whereby Panoramix generated an error when switching between household portfolio and individual client portfolio views under specific circumstances.
  • Remediated an issue which prevented the Account Ownership blotter from displaying full results under certain conditions.
  • Fixed an issue with Delivery Options whereby grouped reports did not save to the documents area in a folder outside of the Online folder.
  • Fixed the title on the top of the Income blotter.

8/06/2020 Version 2.0.0.5

  • For all of you who have your own external-to-Panoramix spreadsheet process for parsing out various payments to staff, money managers, other advisors, etc. based on your billing, this release is for you! Panoramix now has a full-feature Payout Schedule (and schedule overrides) toolset as part of billing.
  • Celebration time with this one: phase one of Blotters in the web app! Love the capabilities of the blotters on the desktop? Now they’re rolling out to the web app. This release delivers Transactions, Accounts, Holdings, Contacts, Notes, Tasks, Security Cost Basis, Documents, and RMD blotters.
  • Enhanced the Advisor Performance Summary report to include options to display a portfolio-level risk metrics chart and added the ability to show returns as annualized when longer than one year.
  • Added a new Advisor level report called Portfolio Analytics. This report does at the advisory level what the same report does at the client portfolio level. Only bigger.
  • Changed a default setting and associated behavior pertaining to the asset map and administration. We’re setting the Automatically update asset data user setting to true so that new holdings in accounts get assigned to the asset map designations without manual application.
  • Enhanced the ability to gather requisite information for the Schedule 13F report automatically and on a scheduled basis to make that process easier for the advisor in validation steps.
  • Enhanced the Cancel Bill process to no longer open custodial .CSV files in Excel after generation, making it consistent with the billing process.
  • Remediated for an issue involving the Generic performance report when the advisor selected since inception and changed the group by option on a second running of the report for the same client. (Off release)
  • Under certain circumstances the Fee Statements didn’t pick up the mailing address from the marked Head of Household in a household with more than three associated contacts. This now works as expected.
  • Remediated an issue whereby custom benchmarks of fixed return type showed zero percent instead of their fixed return amount on performance reports.
  • Corrected an issue with changes or updates to email settings generating an error upon save without first accessing the Portal settings tab.
  • Some rather significant improvements to custodial interfaces for Schwab and LPL. Normally that kind of “invisible stuff” doesn’t get listed, yet it really is important to what we can deliver to you.
  • New and updated documentation and video content.
    • Billing Manual – Updates
    • Billing Quick Reference Guide � Updates

7/16/2020 Version 2.0.0.4

  • Some significant changes to billing in this release. First, we added the ability to set an override to your normal blended or non-blended rate setting at the Fee Schedule level. (Billing>>Fee Schedule>>Add/Edit) This override allows you to run a single billing run containing both blended and non-blended fee schedules, something which previously meant running billing twice for different groups. Secondly, we added two new account level settings called Tiering Group and Tier Separately. These settings give you further control over setting overrides to the combined household portfolio billing and allow you to create tiering groups within a portfolio, or to remove an account from the portfolio tiering and tier it independently, as you desire. (Billing and Performance tile of the Edit Account screen, among other places.)
  • After you run billing, you will find two new tabs with the Generated Fees grid. One tab contains the fee generation history for future reference, and the other new tab contains statement history (for statements generated as part of your billing process).
  • Added new options to the New Document Email settings (Settings>>Portal Settings>>New Document Email). The first sets notification options for alerting the advisor when a client adds a new document to the client portal. The second allows you to control which clients receive the email when you add new documents to the portal. Both enhancements are compliance items. In the case of the latter, a new Always Send Mail option generates the new document email even if a client failed to act on the initial client portal invitation. This is useful for those states which require that you notify clients of a statement creation, for example, even if they’ve never used your online access tools to view prior documents.
  • Created the ability to "undo" the saving of a batch report or fee statement generation, removing files saved to the client's document management folders inside Panoramix should you desire.
  • Added the ability to create and view Account-level Notes. This is a great internal audit feature for keeping track of account reviews for anti-money laundering or insider trading reviews, for example. Account Notes are available in both the Edit Account screen and on the Notes tile of the Contact Dashboard, where there are also new searching and filtering options to support this feature.
  • Added a pre-save edit to all Notes update sources to strip out characters which cannot be saved and later properly displayed in a useful format.
  • Added a safeguard to prevent advisors from adding a Custom Benchmark with no description.
  • Added a notification related to running batches of month-end reports prior to the completion of month end processing (Noon central time on the first of the month) warning that results are premature.
  • Added new Audit Log events related to account edits completed from the Edit Account Data mass-edit tool.
  • The various drop-down lists in the Asset Map sort in alpha order.
  • Remediated an issue with the Edit Security screen whereby the broker name could not be cleared under certain conditions.
  • Corrected for a condition which prevented other accounts in a household from appearing on the list of eligible Bill To accounts under certain conditions.
  • Remediated for an issue with loading all household documents under certain circumstances.
  • Rectified for a condition whereby certain holdings failed to display on the cost basis report when the security holds zero shares today, but the report date is in the past.
  • Fixed an issue with saving a customer record not properly linking all related data under specific conditions (off release).
  • Made two corrections related to the display of notes: one for linking households and one related to the display order of categories (off release).
  • Remediated an issue related to the display order for Contact Categories (off release).
  • Fixed an issue with householding clients which appeared under certain conditions, necessitating making two-way links to become effective (off release).
  • Fixed an issue with the Account Edit screen not refreshing following a data change under certain circumstances.
  • Corrected a condition which prevented certain Notes from displaying in the Web App interface.
  • Remediated an issue whereby household billing changes were not immediately reflected in the settings dialogue box, though they were actually saved and effective.
  • Fixed an issue with Fee Statements where the Head of Household did not appear as the primary name under certain conditions.
  • Likewise fixed an issue whereby the Head of Household’s address did not properly reflect on Fee Statements under certain circumstances.
  • New and updated documentation and video content.
    • FAQ—Updates

    • Video – Models A to Z – Not a training series video, a new resource video

6/18/2020 Version 2.0.0.3

  • It’s been a couple months since we made a major investment in expanding our server-side capacity and made the accompanying performance enhancements. During the four weeks between the last release and this release we concentrated on tweaks to drive better performance related to data handling. In some cases, we reduced processing time by up to 90%. Sure, that doesn’t really mean anything. Except when it does. I hope you will enjoy the new snappiness of various load times with this release.
  • Upgraded our Schwab interface to include processing of realized gains for more accurate reporting, and improved the manner in which Panoramix handles Schwab cost basis information.
  • Added ability to handle additional options in the Firm Fee on a Fee Schedule related to a fixed basis point calculation.
  • Enhanced the Cancel Bill process to include the fee basis of Ending Period Balance with Prorated Flows to the In Arrears drop-down list and added other settings to make the process consistent with the options available in the billing process Fee Settings.
  • Changed the title of the Cancel Bill Fee Statement to indicate that it is a final statement, as opposed to representing a regular-period fee.
  • Improved handling of Security Cost Basis in Schwab file daily downloads.
  • Improved the handling of recent sell transactions in the Security Cost Basis blotter when not limited to an individual client.
  • When launched from the Data>>View Data>>Edit Account Data tool, the Edit Account screen disables the Manage buttons for Models and Account Groups but not for Categories. The behavior is now consistent.
  • Corrected two issues in the Cancel Bill process, one of which prevented returning results under certain bill-in-arrears situations, and the other of which displayed the average balance formula on the fee statement when End of Period Balance selected as the Fee Basis.
  • The Show Commissions parameter’s default behavior for not selected didn’t function as expected in all cases when reports were combined into and generated from a report group as part of a batch for a subset of clients. Now it does.
  • Remediated an issue involving historical data for the S&P400 benchmark when used as part of a blended custom benchmark assigned to account with the use account benchmarks parameter selected on a performance report.
  • Corrected for the display of account values on the Orphan Accounts list.
  • Remediated an issue that prevented a report group from printing for an individual client under rare conditions.
  • Fixed the sort order of notes upon initial load.
  • Fixed an issue with the 1 Year column display in performance reports when you select an ending date of a prior year and the portfolio for which you are running the report had a new account open in the year following the selected end date.
  • New and updated documentation and video content.
    • Billing Manual – Updates
    • Video – Training Session 16 – Utilities – New

5/28/2020 Version 2.0.0.1

5/7/2020 Version 1.1.0.106

  • Added a new computed column called Flow to the Transaction blotter to eliminate the need to either do some mental math or export to Excel to do same in terms of determining the cash flow. (Home>>Blotter>>Transactions>>look between the Price and Dist. Amt. columns)
  • Added the ability for an advisor to create/add the same folder structure for all contacts simultaneously as a template applied to all. (Data>>Static Data>>Contact Folders)
  • Improved the integration with MS® Outlook ™ by limiting (by default) the loading of folders to the Inbox and the Sent Items folders. If you still want to load all folders, a sometimes very slow process, you may do so by setting the load all folders flag in the Outlook Settings tile (Settings>>Data Settings)
  • Redesigned the Vault interface pertaining to the Online Shared folder and its functionality, moving it to its own tab in the vault interface, allowing better administrative control over contents, and allowing other users visibility sans edit capabilities. (Home>>Vault>>Online Shared)
  • Added the ability for an Admin user to establish password expiration intervals for all UserIDs and added the capacity for an individual to set their own expirations as a way to meet your internal security policies which may call for force-changed passwords on a scheduled basis. (Individual—Settings>>User Settings>> Password and Login; Admin—Settings>>Manage Users)
  • Enhanced the Performance report stack to allow different combinations of showing/hiding management fees and commissions independently from one another.
  • Added two new account-level settings: 1) Exclude from Portal, which excludes showing an account on the Client Portal; and 2) Exclude from Financial Planning, which removes the account from the RightCapital financial planning integration feed.
  • Added file naming options to the Form Letter generator and remediated an issue with carrying that name forward when saved to a local folder when the preview editor did not include the option.
  • Added Household Name as a file naming option when creating report files from a report group either in batch or for a client. Also added this functionality to the Mail Merge tool.
  • Continued to expand the ability to personalize email generated from Panoramix by adding the ability to insert fields (such as the client’s name) to email templates. Now all the email templated contain this functionality. To see the list of available fields for a template, use the Template Fields expander to the right of each email template.
  • Added the middle initial field to the Contact Info tab in Settings, User Settings for advisors who wish to include their middle initial as part of their name.
  • When you add a form letter to the Word Templates area of the Vault and give that document a description different from the file name, the description now shows in the mail merge list instead of the document name.
  • Sometimes a condition is so rare that it takes six years for it to come to light and get fixed. Thus is the case with certain accounts opened on the last day of a year excluding the starting value in the following year’s year to date performance numbers. Fixed it.
  • For an associated contact type of Billing Only, made it so that accounts belonging to the billing-only owner may have their fees charged to the account of the other party of the relationship in those cases where it was previously blocked.
  • Corrected for a recently introduced condition on the performance reports whereby As of Today did not become the setting if an advisor put in an ending month/year combination set to a future date.
  • Remediated for a discrepancy between the Realized Gains blotter and the report when calculating the value of a sell transaction under certain circumstances.
  • Corrected for an instance whereby a form letter did not save to the Client Documents properly under select conditions. (Reports>>Form Letters…)
  • Remediated for an issue within the Vault whereby saved files failed to display under certain conditions until the advisor exited and re-logged-into Panoramix.
  • Resolved for an error generated when attempting to export the content of the Transaction blotter to Excel when column sums present in the blotter view.
  • Corrected an issue with the Asset Map wherein if an advisor tagged a holding with between 1 and N customized Security Categories, and then removed all those tags for that holding simultaneously, the update did not apply in all circumstances. (Completed between releases.)
  • Remediated an issue (again, between releases) whereby the two new Income Reports (from the last release) failed to render to the Client Portal and web app under select conditions.
  • New and updated documentation and video content.
    • Contact Categories Guide (updated)
    • General Reporting Manual (updated)
    • FAQ (updated)
    • Video: Session 12—Billing 2 (new and published between releases)
    • Video: Session 13—Data tab 1

  • Correction for contact preload.

4/16/2020 Version 1.1.0.104

  • Created another blotter—this one the Income blotter to accompany the new Income Summary report (see below) as a view for your advisory. (Home>>Blotter>>Income.)
  • Created a new Income Summary report to provide a look at historical income from holdings for a household, client, or account. (Client Dashboard>>Client Reports>>Income>>Income Summary.)
  • Created another new report called the Income Forecast report, which provides a look at projected income for an account, client, or household broken out by month for the next 12 months based on current holdings and their projected dividend/payments. (Client Dashboard>>Client Reports>>Income>>Income Forecast>>set parameters and run.)
  • To round out the new reports, created a new advisory-level report to report cash holdings as a percentage of account, client, or household holdings to help you manage the amount of cash you’re holding across your book of business. (Reports>>Advisor Reports>> Cash)
  • Updated the RMD blotter and report to comply with the CARES Act of 2020 section 2203 amendments to IRC Section 401(a)(9) to suspend RMDs for the calendar year 2020; and to adjust for those who turned 79½ in 2019 who did not take their RMD in that year.
  • Added the ability to change the display name in the Performance blotter from the salutation to either that, first name + last name, or last name + first name, to enhances the sorting and filtering capability of the blotter. (Home>>Blotter>>Performance)
  • Added both Include account info and include contact info to the Additional Criteria expander for the RMD Blotter. (Home>>Blotter>>RMD>>Additional Criteria)
  • Added the ability to create and maintain your Models to the static data tools (Settings>>Static Data>>Models.)
  • Added the ability to export the Rep Code to Excel when working with the Asset Change Summary report. (Reports>>Advisor Reports>>Asset Change Summary)
  • In the Contact list, if there is a flagged mailing address for a client, made that the displayed address while following the existing display logic if there is not.
  • Broke the User Settings into a multi-tabbed interface to reduce screen crowding and clutter. (Settings>>User Settings>>Contact Info/Password and Login/Other
  • Enhanced the functionality of the Vault to allow the Master ID and other IDs with admin-level access ability to access and modify the content of other users’ folders therein. (Home>>Vault>>Select User)
  • Changed the handling of the Schwab download interface to more accurately classify tax withheld transactions.
  • Altered the display of negative values on the Portfolio Analytics report to make it consistent for all columns of data.
  • Improved the appearance of, and added functionality to, the Marketwatch tile.
  • Improved data validation features for advisor-maintained lists in the various static data tools to prevent non-functional or empty entries.
  • Made the display of parameters consistent between client reports and advisor reports, with both now based on the user’s report settings. (Settings>>Report Settings>>Other Settings>>check the Display parameters vertically checkbox; then access client reports or Reports>>Advisor Reports.)
  • Changed the display of the periods parameter in the web app and client portal for the Portfolio Analytics report to match other web/client interface methods.
  • Changed the “Display % of Total” checkbox parameter on performance reports to a drop-down selection with the options of none, percent of total, and percent of group to offer greater flexibility in report configuration.
  • Removed the header row from the TD cancel billing file, as TD started rejecting the entire file instead of merely the one unnecessary row.
  • Advisors using multiple monitors sometimes experienced a report window opening behind the Client Dashboard and need to click anywhere in the dashboard to surface the report. We changed that behavior to eliminate the need to take that action.
  • Added a data-handling process that improves the matching of security symbols to other holdings identifiers used by DST.
  • Rectified an issue with the Realized Gains report wherein a filter applied to the purchase date instead of the sell date in certain circumstances.

  • Rectified for a rare situation wherein Panoramix generated a publishing error when working with Associated Contacts for a contact created during the association process.
  • Corrected for an issue related to saving documents to Contact/Client areas when the client was originally created manually (as opposed to having been created through a custodian download) where other specific conditions also true.
  • Fixed an issue whereby Notes entered manually were not persisted under rare conditions.
  • Adjusted the non-expanded, landscape version of the Portfolio Snapshot report to prevent it from adding a nearly-empty extra page when Riskalyze scores displayed. (Released mid-cycle.)
  • Remediated an issue with account benchmarks on performance reports affecting accounts under certain conditions. (Released prior to quarter end.)
  • Resolved for an issue whereby Private Notes did not properly display under certain circumstances when the Show Private Notes parameter was selected.
  • Remediated for an issue affecting saving certain changes in the Edit Account Data screen (released prior to quarter end) and for displaying “<default>” in a field where that values is not applicable.
  • Corrected an issue affecting the calculation of a cancel billing amount when billing in arrears, on an average balance, and there are holdings transactions not yet settled for the account.
  • Resolved an issue with the display of the account number in the Transaction blotter which happened only after a manual transaction edit on the Portfolio Dashboard followed immediately by accessing the Transaction blotter from the dashboard’s menu.
  • Fixed issues with the formatting of report footer displays on portrait versions of select performance reports. (Released prior to quarter end.)
  • Corrected the display for the 13-week T-Bill benchmark as “N/A” on performance reports by pulling in the rated paid as of the report end date as the benchmark.
  • For those of you using Contact Categories to manage access permissions, an advisor with "view all" access will now automatically have access to any new Contact Categories added.
  • Resolved for an issue where a Contact Category not assigned to any contacts could not be deleted under certain circumstances. (Settings>>Static Data>>Contact Categories)
  • With what we’ve come to call the “CoViD-19 internet,” that is slower overall performance with so many people working from home, we beefed up our infrastructure—including our internet bandwidth—in an effort to compensate. This is a long-term investment in our own technology foundation, and we will continue to make investments over the next few months that will roughly double our present infrastructure capacity.
  • New and updated documentation and video content.
    • FAQ (updated)
    • General Reporting Manual (updated)
    • Batch Reporting Manual (updated)
    • Video orientation/training Billing 1 (of 2 planned) NOTE: This will be available by Monday April 19th.

3/20/2020 Version 1.1.0.102

  • Correction for account benchmarks on some reports.

3/19/2020 Version 1.1.0.101

  • Introducing "The Greeks!" We�ve created a new Portfolio Analytics report which contains not only Alpha and Beta, but the Sharp Ratio, RSquared, Treynor Ratio, and more.
  • Added the ability to nest two layers of report grouping on performance reports�for example, group by account number and then group by security type.
  • A person using the Master UserID in Panoramix can now create a blotter view (AKA Setup) and propagate it to all UserIDs in the firm.
  • Any UserID with administrator-level access may now view the Vault folders for all users; the view is no longer limited to their own files and those of the Master UserID.
  • Blotter setups will now store the summation calculator settings for sum, count, etc. as part of the setup, eliminating the need to re-add them with each use (you will need to re-save your setups with those sums in place).
  • Added age field to the Contacts blotter whenever the birth date is present for that contact. (This came up out of the March webinar�instead of making you do year-math to come up with how old your clients are, why don�t we just calculate it and show it on the blotter? So we did.)
  • Added the ability to select benchmarks to the Performance blotter.
  • Added net gain/loss dollar amount to the Performance blotter.
  • Added the ability to group the Asset Allocation Chart on the Basis Summary report by various categories.
  • Added a parameter to show/hide the display of the charts on the Basic Summary report.
  • Added a parameter to show/hide the display of the Portfolio Accounts summary area on the Asset Allocation report.
  • If you have a total on a column in a blotter(account value, for example) and then you group that view by some other column (rep code, perhaps) now Panoramix displays not only the sum for the group, which has been in place for a while, but Panoramix displays the percent of the total for quicker visualization of the total pie.
  • Added a check for head of household setting when creating associated contacts to ensure that there are no multiple heads of household allowed.
  • Added text to the Fee Invoice and Fee Statement to indicate that a billing start date override setting or inception date for an account alters the normal billing calculation period in cases where it does so.
  • When a client first establishes their Client Portal connection, Panoramix now sends a confirmation email to the client which contains the link to your advisory log-in. This should help prevent those cases where the client attempts to access the portal using the original activation link, which is no longer valid.
  • Established a double-click-to-access function from the Edit Account Data Screen to launch the detailed Edit Account screen for the selected account.
  • Shortened the amount of time it takes to save several different types of changes. From changes to account and contact categories to model changes, several save actions now take less time, improving your efficiency.
  • Improved the ability of inbound reported errors to identify the source (UserID) of the reporter under a select condition from which it was previously not available.
  • Reordered some report parameters to place related parameters next to one another for ease of use.
  • Removed the Realized Gains grid from the Data Tab, since several releases ago we introduced the more-feature-rich Realized Gains blotter.
  • Removed the ModDietz calculator from all numeric fields in blotters except for the Performance blotter.
  • Remediated an issue with producing the 1 Year Performance report and 1 Year Statement from the web app and the client porta under certain circumstances.
  • For the performance reports with the new calendar-year column options, implemented accounting for pending transactions spanning the year-end time frame.
  • Fixed for a log-in error which affected a limited number of advisors under specific circumstances.
  • Corrected for an error-upon-save from within the Edit Account Data tool where, under specific conditions, changes to fee schedules didn�t save and generated the error message.
  • Implemented a fix for an issue with the blotter grid control failing to display the account number in the customer-specific transaction blotter after certain edits within the Portfolio Dashboard�s transaction tile.
  • Remediated an issue within the report viewer wherein the "portfolio vs investment chart did not print properly in terms of color under specific circumstances (note�The .PDFs were not similarly affected).
  • Some things feel as if we implement for ourselves. In this cycle we added information to the report errors function that will help us speed diagnostic activity related thereto. However, in adding this it allows us to speed our turn-around time and provide better responses up front in cases of a reported error, which we feel is of benefit to you, and worthy of the investment.
  • And, for those of you with custom reports, you know from separate messages how busy we�ve been on that front, too.

2/28/2020 Version 1.1.0.100

  • Added the ability to leave individual report disclaimers blank.
  • Added the ability to change the title of many of the reports via a new titles tab in Report Options.
  • Added the ability to group by qualified status for charts and reports that use the group by parameter.
  • Added the current value and unrealized gains (both dollar and percent) to the Cost Basis blotter.
  • Enhanced the Asset Summary Report to both filter by and group by the rep code.
  • Created a parameter for various performance reports to remove the yellow highlight/shading from the holdings detail display�which appears to be an aesthetic of which several advisors are less than fond.
  • Created a parameter for the Account Summary report to show (default) or hide the active/closed detail summary (show detail summary is the parameter name).
  • Changed the default titles of several performance reports with fixed periods (monthly, quarterly, etc.) to indicate the period covered in the title.
  • Within the Contacts Edit Emails list functionality, added the ability to tag emails as Use for Correspondence, eliminating the need to open each client to change those settings.
  • Enhanced the RedTail integration to include the ability to get and utilize Redtail Contact Tags as Panoramix Contact Categories.
  • Improved performance of the Contact Merge tool by enabling a system setting to optionally not load the contact grid with all contacts prior to execution of search (which returns only searched-for results, and is therefore faster for advisories with an extensive contact list).
  • Clarified several of the User Settings with additional labeling.
  • Added better error messaging to Notes processing in rare cases where a new or edited note did not persist.
  • To limit the need for prolonged recovery periods for data deleted from Panoramix in error, added a requirement to enter access credentials prior to the deletion of a folder with document contents in the client�s document folders. This is similar to deleting an account.
  •  Moved the FAN Mail Settings tab from Settings to a sub-tab under Settings, Third Party Data, removed fields no longer needed, and made spelling consistent throughout.
  • Added processing to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate folders in the Vault.
  • Proactively tightened the code security of the Panoramix web application to exceed the requirements of latest guidelines.
  • Remediated an issue where Panoramix and Wealthbox were not updating under certain conditions involving a client with a ZIP+four ZIP code.
  • Remediated an issue with RMD withdrawals including an excess number of cash transactions under specific circumstances.
  • Corrected for a misrepresentation of a calendar year�s basic return if the current value is zero but the end-of-year value was not zero.
  • Rectified an error generated when reporting performance based on prior calendar years (1,2,3, and 4) excluding 12/31 transactions.
  • Remediated for an issue involving a stale authentication token within the Riskalyze integration when accessed from a master Panoramix ID�s settings by an ID other than the master ID.
  • Under certain conditions an advisor might have the Portfolio Snapshot column selection parameters (1 � 5) appear out of order. This will no longer happen.
  • Added the account last trade date to the Account and Holdings blotters
  • Added a filter to the Additional Criteria of the Account Blotter to display only accounts with a last trade date greater than the date you enter.
  • New and updated documentation.
    • Billing Manual�updated
    • Billing Quick Reference�updated
  • New and updated training videos.
    • Session 10�The Reports menu (published between releases)

2/06/2020 Version 1.1.0.99

  • Greatly expanded the Data, Edit Account Data feature to include many more data fields for you to complete mass updates to your accounts, including the qualified checkbox, and billing and performance override settings. (This is now such a feature-rich interface that it will take some training to learn�if you need that before I get an online session ready for this, send me an email and I�ll happily set something up with you.)
  • Added time options for previous calendar years (PCY-1 would be calendar year 2019 in 2020, for example) to the Account Performance History and Portfolio Snapshot report. (We know, even more parameter choices for the Portfolio Snapshot, right?)
  • Added the ability to group by holding for all reports with a group by parameter.
  • Added a system setting for labelling net and gross of fees display text and made the default values for all changeable report labels more obvious.
  • Expanded the functionality of the Asset Map grid to allow sorting and filtering on all standard columns (previously could not filter and not all columns sortable).
  • Enhanced the RMD blotter and report to include rules for inherited IRAs.
  • Updated RMD rules and calculations to comply with the SECURE Act of 2019
  • Overhauled and re-enabled the Client Detail report as a parameter driven detail report with a great level of detail pertaining to client information in Panoramix.
  • For those working on small screens, we added a horizontal scroll bar to the Edit Account screen to eliminate the right-side content cutoff.
  • Extended the versatility of Additional Delivery Options for report groups by adding the ability to name per-client subfolders in the contact record and they use that subfolder path as part of the delivery path to an (S)FTP site, thereby eliminating the need to manually move documents to client subfolders following report file creation.
  • Added new filters to the Additional Criteria tabs for three of the blotters, Accounts, Holdings, and Contacts, all of which allow for the option to display even more data in the blotters.
  • Extended the look-back period for benchmarks on the One Year performance report to match the other performance reports, eliminating the potential for an unavailable benchmark initiation point.
  • Enhanced the display of exception messages when verifying the connection to a FTP site for additional report delivery options in order to make it easier to determine reason for failure.
  • Corrected the screen rendering of the generate reports window when group reports launched from the Client Reports list.
  • Eliminated a point of confusion when launching the transaction blotter from either the Contact Dashboard�s Portfolio menu or from the Portfolio Dashboard�s menu in that the Additional Criteria expander is now hidden, as all pre-filtering is already completed, limiting the transactions to the selected client or household. Of course, you may continue to use the blotter�s functionality to further filter the view.
  • Remediated for a minor rounding difference which occurred under rare circumstances for one account in the list of accounts and the summary at the top of the Performance blotter.
  • Remediated an issue involving Meta Financial Group Inc. transactions in the TDA download.
  • Corrected for a condition which was issuing an error message when no error had, indeed, occurred under certain conditions when changing a password using the web app.
  • Added RMD summary option to RMD report.
  • New and updated documentation: Frequently Asked Questions�updated
  • New and updated training videos.
    • Training Session 7�Portfolio Dashboard 1 (of 3)
    • Training Session 8�Portfolio Dashboard 2 (of 3)
    • Training Session 9�Portfolio Dashboard 3 (of 3)�This one is still in editing and will be available very soon

1/16/2020 Version 1.1.0.98

  • A new direct custodian interface with UBS. If you�re getting UBS account data via ByAllAccounts or Quovo/Plaid today we have a direct option for you now. If you�re adding UBS to your multiple custodial environment, we can now connect directly with them, too.
  • Added the ability to enable two-factor authentication to the log-in process using either SMS text messaging or email for the delivery of a numeric code for second-factor authentication prior to granting access. As you know, we often release things in different stages, and this implementation had its counterparts in 2019.
  • Added a "Forgot password" link to the login screen so that you may reset that password yourself without contacting either your internal master account administrator or us. That will save you time. (You might be asking "what took so long?" Hold your fire, it took a real caress of steel to make these power windows work.)
  • Added account inception date (read only) to both the Portfolio Dashboard account list, and to the edit account screen to increase visibility of this field beyond billing and blotter grids.
  • Changed the Account Summary report so that the portfolio totals match the data displayed on the report instead of also taking into account activity on securities no longer held in the portfolio, thus ending a period of significant confusion over why "the numbers don�t add up" on this report. Also, changed the dollar amount decimal places to two.
  • Replaced the expanded parameter on the Performance Monthly Timeline report with three new ones - expand years, expand quarters, expand months - to make it easier to control the level of roll-up viewed by default, allowing the display of multi-year summaries on a single page, if desired.
  • Altered the grouping of top holdings on the extended view version of the Portfolio Snapshot report to more effectively combine symbol-plus-CUSIP holdings across multiple accounts. (Incidentally, if you haven�t tried moving pictures with the extended version of this report released in December, try it; you may find it leads to permanent waves of change for you.)
  • Altered the display of the last valuation date on the Account Summary (AKA Holdings Summary) report to match the period ending date on the report when run as of today and the report settings are "make �as of today� report date equal last business day" equals true.
  • With the Performance blotter you may now group by household, among the other, already existing, options.
  • Made three enhancements to the Realized Gains blotter. First, added the Rep Code for filtering, sorting, grouping, etc. Second, added a column that which sums the short-and-long-term gains so that you don�t have to export to Excel just to get those sums. Third, added a Display Summary For parameter list that lets you create a summary grid above the detail grid by account, household, or contact. (Thanks to CF for these ideas.)
  • Within the household billing override feature, altered the method for prorated allocation of flat fees across new accounts to include them in cases where they were previously excluded, contrary to intent.
  • When creating a new Panoramix documents folder via one of the batch interfaces we now remove preceding and trailing spaces in an effort to help keep your folder structure clean.
  • Remediated an issue with the Company Assets tile on the Advisor Dashboard. It now properly handles the exclude zero accounts setting.
  • Corrected for conditions that led to the view button on the System Messages tile opening a view with only the message title in it, no content, under select circumstances.
  • Remediated an issue within the Riskalyze utilities whereby the system setting of retrieve scores only was ignored under specific conditions.
  • New and updated documentation.
    • Panoramix-Wealthbox Integration guide (update�yes, another one)
    • FAQ (update for two-factor authentication and more)
  • New and updated training videos.
    • Training Session 5�Contact Dashboard 2 (of 3)
    • Training Session 6�Contact Dashboard 3 (of 3)

2019 Releases

12/20/2019 Version 1.1.0.96

  • Correction for saving notes that we broke in yesterday's (12/19/19) update

12/19/2019 Version 1.1.0.95

  • Created a new version of the Portfolio Snapshot report and introduced a parameter for using the new version or the legacy version in your advisory�check out the new one!
  • Created a new Account Performance Summary report following the same design principals as the new Portfolio Snapshot.
  • Added the ability, through an on-request-creation of a nightly-run script to exclude specific CUSIPs from billing or performance, and to exclude select symbols from performance. This joins the previous capability to exclude specific symbols from billing.
  • Added extra visual clues added to the Portfolio Dashboard for both Accounts and for Securities with special billing handling. Now, in addition to the yellow highlight for exclusions, a light blue indicates another override type and an orange highlight indicates that an account is being billed to a different account. Don�t worry, you won�t have to remember that. We gave you a legend on the screen too.
  • Removed Report Groups from the list of elements eligible for custom footers, as the custom footer is set at the report level, not the group level. Sorry about the temporary confusion this may have caused.
  • Added the ability to create custom headers by report.
  • Added the ability to create custom footers on custom reports, for those of you who have had us develop those custom reports.
  • Created a billing export file for import to Pershing as part of becoming a preferred technology partner with SSG.
  • Added the ability to both specify contact folders and the ability to have much greater control over the file names created in the Form Letters feature (Reports, Form Letters).
  • Saving Notes no longer permits low-order non-printable characters which later cause data errors when creating displays and reports based on contacts owing that note.
  • Remediated an issue when generating billing statements from within the Generate Billing screen to ensure consistent titling of the generated statements.
  • Fixed a condition which caused unexpected titling in the label printing process when both combine household and replace name with salutation parameters selected.
  • Eliminated a point of confusion on the Contact blotter, re-titling the Job Description column as Occupation to match the titling on the Edit Contacts screen.
  • Remediated an issue with the Realized Gains report wherein the date range set for the parameters did not always pass to the report body contents.
  • Rectified a condition which caused the Wealthbox utility�s match by name function fail under specific conditions.
  • Changed the name of the Impersonating Users tab to User Maintenance to make the labeling of the functionality clearer.

11/26/2019 Version 1.1.0.94

  • Completed the final implementation of a nearly-year-long effort to transform how Panoramix generates reports behind the scenes to make the tooling more efficient, scalable, and provide an infrastructure useful to both the web application and the client portal.
  • Added the ability to create customized headers on all reports. (NOTE: This takes a support request and we will work with you on implementation.)
  • Added the ability to create customized report disclaimers by report, should you desire to differentiate the text between statements and performance reports, for example.
  • Created the ability to complete billing assignments by household in addition to at the account and security levels. This makes it easy to apply a single fee schedule to all the accounts in a household, or to support a flat-fee-by-household billing model while maintaining the ability to do account or security level overrides.
  • Enhanced the Schedule 13F reporting process to allow for the display of missing CUSIPs on the preview report so that advisors may resolve them before producing their SEC export file. The export file cannot be generated with the show missing CUSIPs parameter checked.
  • When sending batch reports, non-household-associated contacts sharing an email address will now receive two sets of email reports, one for each non-household-associated contact, instead of only one.
  • Updated the TD Veo Executive Summary interface to utilize the Panoramix desktop app Executive Summary code base, increasing efficiency.
  • Modified the functionality of the Edit Account Data screen to prevent the misalignment of account descriptions in the grid which happened under rare conditions.
  • Resolved an issue whereby new Investment Information Types created duplicates when added to the list under certain circumstances.
  • Resolved an issue with the Asset Map whereby not all users were set to automatically update under specific conditions, which resulted in asset classifications not being assigned in a small handful of cases.
  • Resolved an issue with the Account Summary report wherein it did not always use a percentage amount in its calculation of annual income when that percentage was the only data element available.
  • Remediated an issue with the Basic Summary report when generated as something other than the first report in a report group whereby the account balances appeared incorrectly.
  • Removed conditions that previously led to a generic error message when attempting to generate a batch report before the completion of rendering the Advisor Dashboard.
  • Altered the date range used for Modified Dietz return calculations such that if an advisor elects to run a report through a future date, the Modified Dietz performance indicator will now use as of today instead of that future date for its end date, increasing its accuracy.
  • Resolved an issue whereby the Fees tile of the Executive Summary did not display fees for the most recently ended month under select circumstances.
  • Removed the upload document icon from a place within the Client Portal where it would be illogical for a client to upload a document to their advisor.
  • New and updated documentation (FAQ, General Reporting Guide, Batch Reporting Guide, and Billing Manual)
  • New and updated training videos (Training Session 3: Asset Map [minor but important revision])
  • Added features to an operational tool that will streamline the creation of new users�sometimes we do things just for us, too.

11/8/2019 Version 1.1.0.93

  • The most often requested enhancement of the last few months is in this release. That is, we added the ability for a UserID other than that of the firm�s master ID to hold administrative rights to set up the client portal reports, alter certain advisory-wide settings, and access the Impersonating Users configuration tab.
  • Completed Single Sign On (SSO) integration with Schwab. This is phase one of a multi-step integration.
  • Completed systems integration with SSG for Pershing, creating a clear path for further growth with SSG advisories.
  • Revamped the Realized Gains report based on advisor feedback, removing the settlement date and adding Proceeds, along with summation of same.
  • Completed an overhaul of the Client Details report, adding parameters for what types of information to include, whether to household, etc. Partial masks applied to critical fields such as taxpayer ID, drivers license, and the like.
  • The Fee Statement now cascades the disclaimer settings downward from the Master ID to all impersonating user IDs who do not already have their own disclaimer text.
  • Remediated an issue with the Holdings blotter in the display of subtotals in the group-by bands when those subtotals involve cash or cash equivalents of negative value.
  • Rectified another issue with the Holdings blotter wherein it was not freeing up the requirements of a previously viewed saved setup upon clicking the reset entire grid button.
  • When an advisor runs multiple instances of Panoramix, the two instances locked each other out of using the saved logo for reports, replacing the space with a small x. This no longer occurs. We still don�t recommend running multiple instances of Panoramix on the same computer.
  • Resolved an issue with the Account Summary report not printing the group-level labels under rare conditions.
  • Reworked the Riskalyze integration services allowing impersonated users to maintain their own credentials for Riskalyze as opposed to using the master ID credentials.
  • Remediated a rare issue with the Market Movement calculation on the Asset Summary Change report.
  • When updating a buy transaction to correct a mis-stated share price, the cost basis change did not always immediately reflect in the in the transaction grid. Now it does.
  • New and updated Documentation
    1. FAQ
    2. General Reporting Manual
    3. Batch Reporting Manual
  • Added three new Training Videos and an interlude�No matter how experienced a Panoramix user you are, I virtually guarantee that you will learn something in this brand-new series.
    1. Training Session 1 � General Navigation, Home, and Help
    2. Training Session 2 � Managing your Contacts
    3. Training Session 3 � Your Asset Map
    4. Training Interlude 1 � An introduction to Joe�s Virtual Workspace

10/10/2019 Version 1.1.0.91

  • Optimized batch reports to run faster (up to 50% faster in some cases).
  • Added Created By attribute to both Notes and Tasks to help larger advisories track the origin of these items.
  • Added a new option to security administration for impersonating user ID to allow access to "all except these�" to ease the administrative burden of selecting "allow for most of the portfolio."
  • We�ve been spending time with the Blotters again
    1. Added an entirely new blotter for Account Ownership, which shows all ownership relationships as grouped columns.
    2. Added transaction type to the Transaction blotter�s Additional Criteria expander to allow pre-filtering on the transaction type (buy, sell, etc.) to improve performance when you already know what you want.
    3. When including client information on the Holdings blotter, we added the Portfolio Value (as it is on the Contact Blotter) which may help you reduce the number of exports to Excel to complete VLOOKUP() functions.
    4. Added Symbol and CUSIP filters to the Additional Criteria expander of the Holdings blotter and made it function as they do on the Transaction blotter�another performance improvement.
    5. Significantly altered the display order for columns, pulling more frequently used columns to the left of the grids, grouping all billing information together, and the like.
    6. On the Transaction blotter changed how the reset dates function works so that it�s more intuitive to how you expect it to work.
    7. Added new fields to blotters for new fields (and previously missed fields) as appropriate to the blotter�Billing Spread To Other Accounts field to the Accounts blotter, as an example
    8. Added an Additional Criteria expander to the Contact blotter to Include Customer Information, which, when checked, includes data not previously available to any blotter.
  • Refined the Panoramix to TD Veo One interface to improve the information available at the account level via the Veo hooks back to Panoramix.
  • Made the Web UI and Client Portal match the functionality of the desktop interface for the Cost Basis report regarding the workings of the As of Today and EOM parameters.
  • Resolved an issue with the display of the Riskalyze household score which affected a small number of households under specific conditions. (Resolved between releases as a support issue with via data engine code change.)
  • When linking Panoramix and RedTail, it previously took two steps to link and exchange data, even though the interface made it appear that it would only take one step. It now takes only one step.
  • Remediated an issue whereby the before-noon-central-time-on-the-first billing-run-warning failed to properly display.
  • New and updated Documentation
    1. Billing Manual
    2. Billing Quick Reference Guide

  • This one is actually a holdover from the last release—I just missed it—We added the ability to mask the account numbers on the Client Portal with a new Portal Settings, Screen Settings check box.
  • Microsoft released an update to Windows 10 which added several keys to the registry with default settings which prevented click-once applications such as Panoramix from installing properly without changing those default values. With this release, we add a fix registry settings ribbon icon to the Help tab to update those settings in the case of an installation error related to user permissions. We also added a system utility tab for easier management of this and other Windows settings.
  • When integrating with an external calendar, Panoramix will initially pull one month past and future data. That will be followed by a delayed synchronization of 12 months past and future. For Google Calendar users, an option button appears to load the entire calendar. This enhancement prevents Panoramix from taking a performance hit due to synchronizing multiple years of calendar data at instantiation.
  • The drop-down list boxes for user defined fields now sort alphabetically instead of the order in which added.
  • Added the new valuation date parameter, introduced to billing in the last release, to the cancel bill process, completing that project.
  • Enhanced the integration with TD VEO One by adding the account description to the VEO performance widget.
  • Restored the display of data displays at report breakpoints for select reports when produced in specific combinations within groups as part of a batch generation.
  • When run against a prior month-end snapshot, the Asset Allocation report could fail to show account breakdowns and custodial information under certain conditions. Now it works as expected under those terms.
  • Rectified and issue with the holdings blotter whereby repeatedly selecting and deselecting the show account information option between loads could cause the blotter to stop displaying information.
  • Fixed an issue with the Fees blotter whereby the Household ID displayed a zero value under certain conditions.
  • Cleared an issue whereby the master ID could see multiple document folders with the same names in the vault when cross linked to impersonated IDs.
  • Corrected two issues with the Realized Gains report. First there was an issue including all buy transactions when using a time range, and secondly there was a mathematical formula error when calculating the net gain when the number of shares in a single sell transaction equaled the number of shares from multiple buy transactions.
  • Remediated an issue whereby form letter templates added to Panoramix by an impersonated user did not populate to the reports form letter document template list when said template was saved to their own vault space.
  • Resolved for the condition whereby Panoramix would hang at launch if an impersonated user had the log-in automatically option set, and the master user set the force password change on next login as an administrative function.
  • Remediated an issue which caused the WebApp to hang upon log in if the remember me checkbox had been selected prior to July 12, 2019.

8/29/2019 Version 1.1.0.88

  • Added another new blotter. This one a Realized Gains blotter which gives you short-and-long-term gains (in addition to other information) from inception to today or from and to any month end or combination thereof. If you haven’t been keeping up on the blotters, we’re up to fourteen of them. This concludes the known list of desired additions to the blotter family (now on to some existing blotter changes).
  • Added a parameter to the Model blotter to show only data only if variant from model by X% and another parameter set to show the percent of target variance as opposed to, and in addition to, the current straight difference in percentages.
  • Added the ability to include contact-level user defined fields to the mail merge process.
  • Restored the ability for the master ID report disclaimer to appear as the default for impersonated users.
  • Improved the Wealthbox integration experience by enhancing the functionality of the wait cursor to reflect actual Panoramix activity. This will help prevent unwarranted waiting for an action to complete or attempting another action whilst Panoramix is still engaged.
  • Enhanced the Billing post-generate output grid to include the Household ID, Contact ID, Bill To Account number, and Spread Billing To Other Accounts settings for improved traceability of billing activity.
  • Added a Valuation Date parameter (month end only) to the mid-term billing process, which creates a consistent valuation ending date as opposed to day-of-run for off-billing-period runs. Also added same for cancel billing process.
  • Created the ability to do a mid-term billing on cash flows only.
  • Created a Tier Based on Schedule parameter to the billing process to aggregate assets across the household limited to the accounts that are on the same fee schedule.
  • Added a match of the Advisory Fee for the period to the dates billed for both mid-term billing and cancel billing.
  • Added the name of the custodian to the account description for billing statements in order to comply with requirements arising from the SEC out of the state of Washington.
  • Added additional events to the Audit Log to cover an additional set of compliance and audit scenarios based on requests.
  • Created true landscape versions of the Allocation Comparison, Cost Basis, Realized Gains, and Risk Summary reports for consistent report displays in groups/batches.
  • Created a new version of the Risk Metrics report with enlarged charts for easier reading.
  • The Asset Comparison report now uses the same color assignments between the Account Allocations and Target Allocations charts for easier reading.
  • Furthering our programmatic effort to guard against unintended consequences—in this case potentially sharing documents with a wider than intended audience via the Client Portal—we added textual warnings related to saving documents to locations in the portal accessible to all clients.
  • The Last Online Login date/time now included in the data for the Contact blotter so that you may see which of your clients are actively using the Client Portal.
  • Corrected for the inability to remove Investment Information Types from the Static Data list—unused types added by an advisory may now be removed.
  • Expanded the functionality of the Client Portal to make it easier for clients to drill down into folder content, especially for IOS/Safari clients.
  • Resolved for a rare case of an error at start-up where Panoramix failed to establish a reference it needed prior to an advisor taking any action.
  • Remediated an issue whereby the Realized Gains report failed to return results the very first time generated for an advisory.
  • Corrected for an issue in billing whereby a bill-to account which had no basis, or no non-excluded basis, would not be billed the amount from the billing account.
  • When running the Generic Performance report for a client with a sub-account flagged as excluded from performance, Panoramix generated a time out error as it attempted to assemble data it didn’t need for the report—this is now fixed.
  • When checking the Expanded parameter on the Asset Comparison report, it now displays the expanded details for all the possibilities in the Group By parameter, not only Asset Class.
  • Under specific conditions—involving simultaneously running multiple instances under the same access ID—Panoramix would fail to fully close upon exit. This, and some related resultant issues, resolved with this release.
  • Within the DST download we are now ignoring the last price on a security where the transaction is a dividend, because it’s nearly always incorrect, which, of course, throws of the account value.
  • Quite occasionally we can rectify something sans a formal release between the releases and such was the case wherein the Account Performance History report failed to differentiate between annualized rates of return checked vs. not checked when one or more of the column settings was set to empty—how’s that for a one-off circumstance and same-day-as-reported fix?

8/8/2019 Version 1.1.0.86

  • Created a new blotter. The Document blotter lets you search for and export Panoramix-stored documents and related metadata.
  • And because one is not enough, created another new blotter for Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) analysis across your book of business as an enhancement to the client-view RMD report created earlier this year.
  • Added the ability to mass edit account properties for such things as group and model via new Accounts tab under the Data menu tab.
  • Fully implemented money weighted benchmarks parameter functionality for all reports.
  • Added external CRM reference ID number field to Contact, Account and Holding blotters.
  • Implemented the ability to create a backup of all contact info, with options to include notes, account data, and documents.
  • Revamped the display of report parameters to increase screen real estate and make the interface easier.
    • Added the ability to hide the parameters in the traditional parameters view.
    • Created an option to list report parameters on the right edge of the screen (Settings, Report Settings, Other Settings) called Display parameters vertically.
    • Setting this option creates a right-side expander, similar to the blotters’ expanders, which lists the parameters in a manner consistent with the Batch Reports view.
  • Household and Contact Id elements added to the Household blotter—this to support exports to MS® Excel™ for additional linking via the VLOOKUP() function.
  • Added a check for duplicate account numbers when manually adding new accounts to Panoramix, disallowing duplicate numbers within your advisory.
  • Enhanced the post-generate billing grid to include double-click capability—now double-clicking a record row will take you directly to the Contact Dashboard for the client listed for the account in the row; thus eliminating the need to search for the client, access the contact list and open the dashboard from there.
  • Within the Wealthbox and Riskalyze utilities, added the ability to export the results of the analysis grids to Excel.
  • Moved the send account number to Riskalyze setting to the custom authentications (from global settings) to allow better master ID control over sending said account numbers by an impersonating ID.
  • Restored the ability to create unique group report delivery options when generating batch reports for multiple groups simultaneously.
  • Rectified for a conditional error received from Riskalyze when matching by name for contacts in Panoramix but not in Riskalyze.
  • Reviewed the application for consistent application of “semi-annual” throughout.
  • Updated the Fee Invoice so that titling displays the fee period selected in all cases.
  • Remediated an issue with performance reports containing excluded holdings when as of today parameter selected.
  • Rectified for a condition in which, under select circumstances, the editing of values in the user defined fields tile of the Edit Contacts screen caused the field labels to shift left and truncate, making them less readable.
  • Corrected an issue with audit logging wherein granular events were not properly tagged to a user under select conditions.
  • Remediated an issue with the annualized parameter for benchmarks such that it will accept the parameter under all circumstances.
  • Rectified an issue wherein comments included with beneficiaries and insureds were dropped when adding such household relationships.
  • Fixed an issue wherein selecting accounts within a report group created for an individual client didn’t always limit the report production to the selected accounts.
  • On the Portfolio Dashboard the percentage display for “other” categories in the pie chart failed to show the correct percentage calculation under certain circumstances—now it displays correctly.
  • Rectified an issue with manually placed client portal links in the invitation email wherein the link failed to display properly under certain circumstances.
  • Addressed the inability for one impersonated user to download a document placed into the vault by another impersonated user.
  • Remediated an issue with the Generic Performance report acceptance of specific date parameters within the Panoramix Web interface.
  • Under specific data conditions, the Risk Metrics report would fail with a generic error message, which is now handled.
  • When printing a group report from the client reports screen, there were conditions under which Panoramix ignored the select accounts list values. Fixed this.

7/12/2019 Version 1.1.0.84

  • Moved the Security Cost Basis grid to the Blotters and added all common blotter functionality to the grid.
  • Converted the Marketwatch services (the ones that drive the Marketwatch tile on the main and contact dashboards) to a new set of programming interfaces which rejuvenate functionality.
  • Updated the advisor’s interface components (things like the blotter grids, billing grid, calendar controls, drop down lists and the like) to the latest version of the technology. While not something that directly “makes Panoramix better,” this necessary investment in infrastructure keeps Panoramix vital and responsive.
  • Added versatility to how advisors integrating with Riskalyze update the “speed limit” values. It is now possible to obtain the portfolio score without loading the portfolio from Panoramix. This will help advisories who load Riskalyze from their custodian, for example, not to double up or obtain different scores based on slight differences in portfolio content.
  • Enhanced the Clients With Symbol report with the addition of a parameter called “include holding percentages,” that when checked adds two columns—one for percent of account and the other for percent of household which that symbol comprises.
  • Added a parameter to include Money Weighted returns to all nine performance reports already featuring the Benchmarks parameter as a method for enhancing comparative portfolio performance.
  • The Generic Performance report now includes both Since Inception and As of Today parameters for quick overrides of the date pickers.
  • Continued to enhance the three views of the Account Summary report (AKA holdings summary) to include a percent of portfolio total to the subtotal section of the report.
  • Made two improvements to the appearance of Fee Statements. First, to make the size of the logo more consistent with the other reports; and second, moved the page number from the report body to the footer for consistent placement.
  • More additions to the additional delivery options for batch and group generated reports—this month the addition of Dropbox as a named destination and the addition of the ability to maintain the linked IDs on a contact basis for report delivery to third party reporting tools.
  • Improved the experience of producing batch reports filtered by an account category, making the method significantly faster in the process.
  • Sustained enhancement to the Wealthbox integration experience by improving connection stability, match rates, and eliminating the programmatic one-to-many Panoramix to Wealthbox client links.
  • Previously, accounts and securities excluded from billing appeared with a yellow highlight in the Portfolio Dashboard. With this release all manner of billing overrides appear with the highlight.
  • Continued enhancing security settings, strengthening the ability of the master ID to narrow access of impersonated IDs and ensuring that those impersonated IDs may perform granted functions. These include the lock-down of billing settings, performance settings, securities, and transactions in particular and several other contact fields in general.
  • Removed the “Remember Me” checkbox from the web interface as a compliance security measure. This eliminates conflicts between Panoramix and browser-based or third-party password regulator tools for the web.
  • Rectified an issue with the Cost Basis report whereby the report was not displaying all affected accounts under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed the Cost Basis report sort-by-column tool in the report viewer.
  • Within the Client Portal, rectified an issue wherein an exposed Portfolio Snapshot report generated an error under certain circumstances.
  • Corrected for an issue manifesting itself as inaccurate TWW returns on portfolios where one account in the portfolio is set with a delay performance reporting start date override and four other conditions all happen to be true.
  • Remediated for a billing condition whereby “round to dollar” did not properly do so when charges from one account in a household are set to spread to all other accounts in a household and one or more of those other accounts also had a specific fee override setting to bill at zero dollars.
  • In circumstances where households are daisy-chained together and an advisor wishes to run a household-wide report using one of the non-central clients in the chain as the source and wishes to filter select accounts in the household, all accounts now appear on the filter by account list.
  • Added a process to the initial data download (historical data for new rep codes) for TD which will pick up the TD taxable account value and set the qualified flag appropriately—this field previously not available.
  • We also added to, and created some new, back-office operational tooling that will help us to provide better and faster support at scale.

6/13/2019 Version 1.1.0.83

  • Corrected an issue with main vault not showing all folders.
  • Corrected an issue with tasking system not showing edited tasks.

6/11/2019 Version 1.1.0.82

  • Greatly expanded the span of control a master access ID has over allowed actions for impersonated users, allowing for tightened security for advisory staff who does not need or should not have full editing abilities based upon their role in the firm.
  • An impersonated user with read only access is now precluded from adding documents using drag-and-drop.
  • Added the ability for the master user to view the vaults of all impersonated users.
  • Clients using the Client Portal may now contact you, their advisor, directly via email when you set the new contact advisor for support option. This is an addition to the ability to contact us, Panoramix, with support questions or issues.
  • Added a new clear function to blotters to remove all data from the list and release the memory consumed by the list. (Previous production release.)
  • Added the option to include contact information with the Fee blotter, lessening the need to cross-reference on your own.
  • Added the ability to edit the fund name in the Asset Map, replacing the name obtained from your custodian.
  • Added the ability to create market adjustments percentages to Custom Benchmarks. It’s now possible to create a custom benchmark that represents the S&P 500 Total Return less 50 basis points, for example.
  • Added the Contact Categories to the extended recent contacts list tile on the Advisory Dashboard for quick reference on those recent contacts.
  • Added new audit logging events related to document creation and deletion for improved traceability of actions.
  • Completed approximately half-a-dozen performance improvements related to memory management when handling client lists such as when adding household or beneficiary relationships.
  • Added the ability to assign tasks to other users.
  • Improved the efficiency of adding models by allowing the addition of multiple rows between save and grid exit.
  • Added new Tier Basis parameter settings to Billing—In most cases the default setting is desired, however, Panoramix now also supports tiering on the end of period balance (previously a checkbox selection) and end of period balance for new accounts only; both of which apply only to specific circumstances.
  • Added a Fidelity file export to Billing to better serve advisories using Fidelity as a custodian.
  • Enhanced the Billing Statements to show exclusions, both account and security.
  • Enhanced the Redtail integration such that when you save a note in Panoramix—either new or edited—it automatically saves to Redtail for a linked contact.
  • Unbeknownst to us at first implementation, Wealthbox limited the number of mass updates to a batch of 25 (it’s not mentioned in the documentation) and with this release we remedied for that condition.
  • Added a confirmation-of-actions message box to select activities within the Redtail and Wealthbox integration utilities, warning of the potential for the creation of duplicate client records in Panoramix.
  • Enhanced the interface for creating Batch and Group Reports emails by including a list of fields which you may include in the body of your email to customize the message.
  • Remedied for a condition in which email notifications to clients failed to generate when the Advisor placed reports into a new subfolder under the online folder using the batch report generator.
  • When rendering reports on a computer with no printer driver installed, Panoramix previously failed on display. While printing is not available due to the lack of a driver, Panoramix allows a save to PDF.
  • Remediated what is best described as “a weird bug” which prevented the master account ID from viewing all the utility tabs under an improbable set of coincidental circumstances.
  • Corrected for a condition in which a daily download overwrote custom security names under select situations.
  • Allow for overriding the custodian’s yield value on an exception basis (no interface provision and none planned—contact support to discuss options).
  • Within the Web App, resolved two issues with adding Associated Contacts, the first related to the population of the search grid and the second to linking the contacts under some specific cases.
  • Added in-application help information related to the purpose and function of sub-accounts, which are for display only.

  • 3 updates related to initial client load times and issues that arose from that.

5/23/2019 Version 1.1.0.77

  • Panoramix now supports TLS up to version 1.2 for SMTP email integration, meeting some provider requirements and addressing industry vulnerability concerns.
  • Added customizable views on the Advisory Dashboard which may be unique to each access ID. For example, do you want to see the advisory-level market watch but your own most recent contacts, tasks, or notes? Now it’s possible.
  • More good news for the Advisory Dashboard. The most recent contacts displayed in the ribbon and in the expanded Recent Contacts tile is now tied to individual access IDs, so no more shared pooling of that data across your advisory. They are truly your most recent contacts.
  • Created new Asset Change Summary report, providing summary and account-level details regarding assets at the beginning of a period, assets added by new clients, withdrawn by departing clients, net changes for exiting clients, and changes due to market movement with an end-of-period balance.
  • Enhanced the Riskalyze Utility interface to allow for en masse matching of your clients across your book of business. No longer do you need to handle set-up by going into each client’s Contact Dashboard view and individually completing the integration. Now you can use the enhanced Riskalyze utility to speed the process.
  • Within the Batch Report Generation tool, added the ability to distribute reports to FTP and secure sites to the Additional Delivery Options.
  • Added the ability to distribute a single client’s report to multiple email addresses on record for the client
  • Made the columns on the Cost Basis report sortable for ease of use.
  • Added a new warning and authorization requirement when changing an account number in the Edit Account screen. Changing account numbers can cause download integrations with your custodian to malfunction, and we want to help you prevent that from happening.
  • Within the performance reports, the labeling in the Group By list now reads “Security Categories” instead of the former labeling to make it consistent with other titling in Panoramix.
  • Corrected the Group By default value focus for the Asset Allocation Chart launched from the Portfolio Dashboard to correctly show Asset Class.
  • Added the display of the contact�s occupation (when present) to the Contact Information tile of the Contact Dashboard to go with the Company display.
  • Modified contact merge function to, potentially, reduce memory usage spike.
  • Removed the early date restriction from the Executive Summary, allowing display of data prior to 2002.
  • Added a third phase to and adjusted timing of custodian downloads to ease potential overnight processing window constraints and make the process more efficient.

  • Fix for Performance Blotter screens.

5/4/2019 Version 1.1.0.75

  • No longer automatically open exported billing files.
  • Eliminated the header row from the TD .CSV file export—no more irksome “There were errors importing your records….1 had errors and were not imported” message when you import to Veo (at least, if you do see that it will no longer be due to the Panoramix header row)
  • Added support for semi-annual billing cycles
  • Added integration with Wealthbox for calendar and contacts (similar to the existing Redtail interface) so now all you Wealthbox users have a new way to use Panoramix

  • Added the ability to produce report groups and batches to the Panoramix Web Interface
  • Added the ability for your client to produce grouped reports from the client portal
  • Added a document upload icon to the left navigation pane of the client portal and used the same new icon inside the folder tiers to make it more intuitive as to how clients can upload their documents for you
  • Enhanced the Contact list (list, business card, and summary views) such that you may now highlight text and copy it to the Windows® clipboard for pasting into other documents or applications
  • Standardized the footers on all reports and added the ability to optionally include a date and-time stamp for the time produced to help meet certain states’ emerging regulatory requirements
  • Added a new one-year performance report—similar to the YTD performance report, you may run as of today or as of a prior month-end date with performance calculations going back one year from either one
  • Added a new Risk Metrics report which shows not only present allocations, but allocations over time, so that you may graphically show the changes in risk exposure over the history of a household or individual portfolio
  • For the Generic Performance, Account Performance History, and Portfolio Snapshot reports, added a parameter to switch to showing the total return instead of the annualized return
  • When setting up groups of reports and setting their parameters, it is now possible to see all the parameter text for the options you’re setting
  • Changed the Asset Allocation report to group first by symbol, by CUSIP if symbol is not present, and by fund name if neither symbol nor CUSIP is available, which makes the report both consistent with others and more usable
  • Changed the Performance Blotter to move the total TWR column from the far right to the space between the Rep Code and Beginning Value to limit the need for scrolling—as most of the time viewing the total TWR that is the first task completed in the blotter view
  • Made other interface changes to the Performance Blotter to make viewing data easier, including adding grouped columns for the four related pieces of data for any given month, and the ability to pin (freeze panes) left-most columns
  • Completed an analysis of the efficiency of the Redtail two-way interface and made several speed improvements as a result
  • Remediated an issue with the date picker controls on the billing tab for mid-term billing whereby the allowed date ranges were insufficient under select conditions

4/11/2019 Version 1.1.0.72

  • The Additional Criteria tab to the Transaction blotter now contains the ability to immediately filter by Symbol or CUSIP in order to speed blotter load time.
  • When working with setting up portal reports it was previously difficult to determine whether your settings changes had actually saved. Now it is most obvious.
  • We improved the placement of the title locations on all the reports, eliminating all the off-center-looking titles to give the reports a more polished look.
  • We changed the Report menu from using an embedded ellipsis expander for the Statements, Performance, Custom, and Batch reports to using a more recognizable cascade-right expander to view the sub-menses. This should make it easier to locate the report you need.
  • Along with report menu change came the ability to click anywhere in the report row to select the report, whereas previously you needed to select the report’s name text to activate the selection.
  • Added a tenth blotter to the collection of ad-hoc reporting blotters in Panoramix. This one related entirely to fees, allowing you to quickly answer both client and audit-related questions (such as a client’s tax-related “how much did I pay in fees last year?”) and to slice and dice your fees at the advisory level to satiate your own curiosity about everything related to fees.
  • Enhanced the Client Portal to allow viewing the Asset Allocation Chart by different grouping options, matching the options available within various Panoramix reports.
  • Improved management of web cookies, improving both client and advisor experience with those interfaces.
  • Made it easier to locate accounts using the Panoramix logo menu Find Account tool by activating partial string searches and execution of the search by pressing the enter key. (Access the logo menu by clicking the Panoramix logo in the upper left corner of the main screen—it contains a couple hidden gems like this one.)
  • Added a new Required Minimum Distributions (called RMD Summary) report to help you with determining minimum retirement distributions on an account basis.
  • Added the ability to insert intentional blank pages into report groups so that the start of the next report doesn’t start printing on the “back side” of the previous report when the report is duplex printed. For example, once selecting this option, the first page of a report in a report group won’t start printing on the back side of the cover page when you print the report group using both sides of the paper.
  • Enhanced both the Account and Holdings blotters to include the Billing Start Date field so that you can see clients for whom their inception dates and billing start dates differ, who is presently in a time referred billing status, etc.
  • Made the behavior of the performance timeline reports consistent with the Contact Dashboard in treatment of household accounts—previously it differed slightly in specific circumstances.
  • Remediated an issue for advisories with large data sets whereby advisors encountered an error seconds after startup if they attempted to access a contact from their recent contacts list in that time, while simultaneously ensuring that other navigation from the Advisory Dashboard enabled earlier in the startup process.
  • For new installations of Panoramix, the default setting for the display options for the Portfolio Dashboard will change from Hide Zero Balances to Show Zero Balances to reduce the initial confusion for new advisories wondering why not all their client accounts/history are present.
  • Remediated issues with Panoramix-Redtail integration and data synchronization for better efficiency and reliability on both sides. For example, it’s now easier to navigate directly to Panoramix client reports in the Redtail interface.
  • Batch reports for households with both a named head of household and members of the household with no accounts generate expected output now.
  • For advisors using the new Additional Delivery Options for group and batch reports, rectified the handling of file naming selections to implementation.

3/21/2019 Version 1.1.0.70

  • Enhanced the main dashboard to include the ability to add and configure four Performance Tiles to your advisory display, the tiles corresponding to the Executive Summary view.
  • Added the ability to deliver grouped reports, whether printed for an individual client or as part of a batch, to more customized areas, including third party vaults, portals, or CRMs.
  • Added the ability to delete an account from the Orphaned Accounts list sans the new “are you sure” safety dialogue box.
  • Enhanced the Accounts and Holdings blotters with a new override parameter for Asset Class, Security Type, and Asset Type settings when End of Month (EOM) selected.
  • Altered the appearance of the Account Performance History report to ensure that column headers appear at the top of each page, making it easier to read and present to clients compared to the prior version.
  • Enhanced performance reports to include the ability to hide zero balance accounts.
  • Amended the interface to remove select items exposed to impersonated users (i.e. non-master accounts) which can only be implemented by the master account log-in, such as the ability to expose and set parameters for reports in the client portal.
  • The Contact Dashboard now allows you to group the Portfolio View doughnut chart by something other than the account, allowing for a quick, in-place view of the client portfolio by Asset Class, Security Type, etc.
  • The Portfolio chart on the Contact Dashboard and the Account and Security Percentage pie charts on the Portfolio Dashboard also have an improved look, as they now display additional information for those accounts grouped into the Other category (previously was a dot with no details).
  • Enhanced the refresh data action in the client portal such that it now also fetches the latest report settings for the advisory.
  • In an effort to alleviate some ongoing confusion, added a bit of pop-up help to the Incomplete Accounts tab to explain its purpose and functionality.
  • For all reports containing the Group By drop down, added ability to group by Account Category. NOTE that for accounts belonging to more than one category, it will appear only in the first category assigned.
  • Added a new setting to the Fee Settings options of the Generate Fees interface. Called “use minimum to bill,” and its corresponding dollar amount box, this new feature allows you to wave billing for small fees. Also revised the parameters interface for both the Fee Invoice and the Fee Statement -detailed reports to include the new parameters.
  • When billing in advance, upon selecting Prorate New Accounts, display a warning message that the two settings may be in conflict with one another.
