Practifi Shiraz Late Harvest Release Notes

We’re excited to share with you our Practifi Shiraz Late Harvest release!

With a core focus on improving existing integrations, Campaign capabilities, and task management functions, we’re excited to announce our fifth product release for the year is here. Here’s a few things you can now enjoy with Practifi Shiraz Late Harvest.

Late harvest wines are made from grapes left on the vine a little longer than the norm, concentrating the sugar and creating a sweeter wine. Likewise, our Practifi Shiraz Late Harvest includes some tweaks and fixes that you’ll find very sweet indeed.

Practifi Shiraz Late Harvest will be deployed starting from November 4, 2019.

Key Enhancements

In this Late Harvest, we’ve harvested all of the feedback from our clients on ways to improve our exisiting integrations, specifically portfolio management & financial planning tools. As a result, our Addepar, Black Diamond & Iress Xplan integrations have received a suite of improvements and fixes that will make your day-to-day usage faster, simpler & more consistent.

Task list views and record pages now contain a ‘Complete’ button that updates the Task Stage in one click. If the Task is part of a Process and has defined Outcomes, then you will be able to select your desired outcome before the task is completed. Just another way we’re making it easier for you to power through tasks and drive efficiency for your team.

In our last release, we announced our initial support for Salesforce Campaigns, allowing you to connect Practifi with leading marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Pardot and Mailchimp. We’ve since enhanced that support by providing a suite of pages to help navigate campaigns within Practifi. Now you can create campaigns, manage members and view summary performance data within the context of your advice firm all within Practifi. To find out more about how to activate Salesforce Campaigns, speak to your Client Success Manager.

Product Enhancements

Personalize what you capture from your Clients with Extra Information 

We have introduced an additional subtab called “Extra Information” on the Client and Person Basics pages. These pages can be customized to include and additional fields you wish to have without preventing you from receiving future page enhancements.

Relate emails to more Practifi records

The Salesforce Outlook and Gmail add-ons have always allowed you to link emails to Prospects, Clients, Providers and People, but we’ve extended the add-on to include Tasks, Services and Interactions as well.

Restrict Insurance pages to Insurance Providers

The “Insurance Related” checkbox has been added to Provider Types, which determines whether a Provider record is available for selection within Insurance pages.

Estimate future revenue of Prospects

You can now enter potential future revenue of Prospects as either a ‘Flat Fee’ or ‘% of AUM’ for more accurate revenue forecasting.
