If you're aiming to scale, enable client portals, or cut down on admin, reliable datafeeds aren't optional — they're essential. But are you managing them efficiently? For example, do you have questions on: What is the most efficient way to stay on top of datafeeds? How to set up alerts before issues snowball? Plans for how to get them under control when you have not given them attention? If not, join myself and rob.borthwick here on Thursday, 14 August from 3pm to 4pm AEST. We've helped hundreds of practices clean up and streamline their Xplan datafeeds – and we'll be live in the thread answering your questions.

Did you know you can now export calculation details? Ever looked at a client’s performance in Portfolios and wondered where the figures came from? In case you missed this (relatively) new feature, you can now export all the data that makes up the calculation at the press of a button. To do this, go to Portfolios > Analytics: Click on the “Detail” tab: Then on the right-hand side of the screen, select Action > Export Calculation Details: If you need a brush-up on how the returns are calculated, check out this fantastic Community guide.

Tracking Client Progress
How do you track clients progress over time? We sometimes put together a report showing the balance, withdrawals and contributions each year. This helps to show how the clients portfolio grows over time. However we're doing this manually and it's time consuming. Is there any automated way to do with? Any reports built into Xplan? Do you have any other good ways to show clients their progress? It would be especially good if there was a way to link it to their goals.
