The Client Portal settings page allows you to configure the experience your clients have on your Client Portal. Many of these settings will be established by your Onboarding Engineer in onboarding, but you can always come to this section to make edits and changes to the existing setup.

Client Portal Tab

The Client Portal Site Settings section is located in Run Business > Firm Profile > Client Portal.

The page will default to the main Tenant profile. To edit the Client Portal for a subtenant, select the subtenant by name or advisor code from one of the drop-downs in the upper right and click View.

When a client or prospect reaches the end of a Questionnaire they are given a recommended investment Model. After accepting the recommended Model the client may choose a different model from their Client Portal page based on the setting below:

Generate New IPS for Portfolio Changes

Changes made to a client’s portfolio will create a new IPS and require clients to confirm the changes made from the Client Portal.

The Require End Client Approval? checkbox means the end client will need to digitally sign the new IPS through DocuSign before the changes can go into effect. If this is left unchecked, the new IPS will be generated but the end client will not have to sign the new version.

See Generating a New IPS for Portfolio Changes for more details.

Client Portal Visual Branding

Set a custom logo and color scheme from the available options to make the Client Portal match your Firm.

Logos should be on white or transparent background with a maximum width of 250px.

Color schemes currently available:

Default	Classic
Soft Contrast	High Contrast

End-Client Domains

The domain will be used for clients to access the client portal. Your primary domain is configured as part of your purchase and onboarding and cannot be changed from this screen. For subtenants it is possible to set a custom, separate domain rather than be an extension of the existing domain if needed. Speak with AdvisorEngine Support if you need to configure a new domain.

If you are configuring a Subtenant and want a separate, branded login page for the Subtenant site, select the Enable Subtenant Login Page. If this is disabled, all clients will log in from the main Tenant login page and be routed to the correct Tenant/Subtenant page based on which their login belongs to.
