AMA: I'm Andrew Wilson, Xplan efficiency expert at Iress, Ask Me Anything!
Hi Andrew - I am keen to better understand the most efficient, automated functionality for managing:
- fee consent within Xplan and in particular what this may look like with the changes coming into play 10 January 2025.
- Client review process, including asking clients to populate a pre-review questionnaire that enables some question customisation per client (each of our clients would need to update us on different matters depending on their indivudal circumstances).

Hi Kerri, the DBFO 10 January 2025 will be here before we know it. Fee consent changes will still utilise the Xplan elements Opt-in & Fee Consent and Opt-in History. A detailed document is available on the community: Managing Ongoing fee arrangements in Xplan in 2025
For your client review process with a pre-review questionnaire you could have the questionnaire within Client Portal. This would allow the client to enter/update data in real time and action steps upon completion. A detailed document is available on the community: Managing Reviews using Xplan and Client Portal. If you aren’t using Client Portal you could have a merge document that prepopulates based on the client’s existing data and conditioned to include/exclude additional sections. If this is the case you should look to automate sending of this to the client off the back a Diary event or Task or even use Scheduler.
There have been some great discussions previously regarding the review process and go into a lot more detail AMA Workflows and Automating Client Reviews.
