How To Use SL Notify
 Accessing the database: As you would access any other website, go to www.slnotify.com and you will travel to the SL Notify’s Home Page.
Logging in: Click on the Login button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. You will arrive at the screen where you enter your User Name and Password in the designated fields and click enter.
If you forget your password, there is an option on the Login screen for you to email the system developers and obtain your password.
Control Panel Home: Once logged in, the Control Panel Home screen appears with a summary of the advisor’s data. The following information is provided:
• The advisor’s name.
• The advisor’s address.
• The total number of clients in the database to date.
• The total number of client account types in the database.
• The total number of client holdings in the database to date.
• The total number of Past Due Client Accounts to Modify.
• The total number of Client Accounts due to be modified today.
• The total number of Client Accounts to Modify This Week.
• The total number of Client Accounts to Modify Next Week.
NOTE: In providing the accounts to be modified this week and next, SL Notify assists financial advisors in forecasting and planning adequate time and resources for updating the necessary accounts.
Adding Clients: Select the Client Profile button on the left navigation bar to add and edit client information. Your name as the financial advisor appears on the screen, and all of the clients associated with you are listed. Select the Add a New Client button. Enter the appropriate information as prompted by the field names. Use the Tab key to navigate from one field to the next. You may also use your mouse and click in the fields where you want to enter or edit information. Regarding client names, you may use just last names, last names and first initials, last names and first and middle initials (i.e., Reitor, Reitor K, Reitor KS). It’s your choice how you want to identify your investors by name. (It isn’t necessary to enter full legal names.) When you have entered a new client name, be sure to select the Save Information button.
You then select the Add Acct button to select the appropriate accounts where the investor’s holdings are. To add an account type, make the appropriate selection from the drop down box (i.e., Individual, Joint, Qualified, IRA, Roth, etc.). If you’re adding one that doesn’t appear in the drop down box, then simply select “Account Types” from the left navigation bar, and add the new account type to the existing list. Then you can return to your Client Profile and for the appropriate investor, click on the Add Acct button and select the new Account Type from the drop down box. Be sure to click the Save Information Button each time a new client account type is added to the client profile.
When adding historical information into the database, after selecting the account type, you may use the popup calendar feature to select the next date to modify. Again, make sure to select the Save Information button to save and refresh the database with the most current information.
Updating Stop Loss Information: Use the Manage Stop Loss selection from the left navigation bar to enter new information regarding investors’ holdings within their account types and to update the stop loss information already entered into the system. Select the appropriate client and account type. When the account type is selected, a table displaying the investor’s holdings and stop loss amounts and percentages appears. Click in the Stop Loss Amount field and adjust the dollar amount as necessary, then use the Tab key to make adjustments to the Stop Loss Percentage, if necessary. Each time a Stop Loss Amount is changed for a specific holding, it is necessary to press the Save button to indicate to the system a change has occurred. These “Save” actions generate the updated reports and provide supportable evidence that updates have actually been initiated and executed.
You may override the Reset Next Modify Date default number with a number of your choice. In the event, a correction needs to be made, for instance from 25 to 20 days and the record’s already been saved at 25 days, you may access that record and input “-5” to record a 20 day modification date.
Managing Stop Loss: Select the Manage Stop Loss button in the navigational bar. Select the update holdings button next to the date you want to modify. Select the Printer Friendly version button for a printable version when the Current Holdings Information list displays. Research the price for each holding and write the new current price in the space provided. Select the Return to Previous Screen button, and that will return you to the Current Holdings Worksheet.
Update the Current Holdings Information Worksheet with the current prices, and click on the Save button for each line. Select the Accept and Continue button to proceed to the Client Holdings update screen. Select the Client Account you wish to update. The Update Stop Loss Information screen will open. You may modify the next purchase price for a holding or you can accept the default amount.
NOTE: When changing the Stop Loss Percentage Amount, you must select the Return to Previous Screen for the change to take place. The percentage is recalculated upon re-entry.
Select the next date to modify the account by clicking on the popup calendar to the right of the date field. Click on the date you want the account to be modified. The system prompts you with a date that is 25 days from today’s date.
Finally, click on the Accept New Stop Loss Amounts and Reset Next Modify Date. After saving the Client Account, return to the Client Holdings update screen by selecting the Return to Previous Screen button to select the next client account to update.
Entering Account Holdings For The First Time: To setup holdings for the first time within your clients' accounts, select the [Manage Stop Loss] button from the left navigation bar. Then either search for a name or select the desired [Update Holdings] button. The update current holdings information appears. Click on the [Accept and Continue] button at the bottom of the screen. Select the appropriate client's account, and add and delete holdings as needed.
Adding Account Types: To add a new account type, simply select “Update Account Types” from the left navigation bar, and add the new account type to the existing list.
Daily Activity: Select the Daily Activity button to view the Stop Loss Daily Activity Report. Select the Printer Friendly Version button to print a log of each client’s accounts. Use the worksheet to adjust your clients’ investments as needed. This handwritten, completed worksheet by the broker then serves as a combination checklist and documented record of any changes made regarding the clients’ investments. Simply attach a completed worksheet to your client files.
NOTE: The Daily Activity Report includes all of the clients for a given day. Historical data on clients can be printed, but only to the last modified date.
Edit Profile: In the event it is necessary to change (update) your profile, select the Advisor Profile button from the navigation bar. A screen appears with your profile information in it. Simply click in the fields you’d like to edit and make the necessary changes. When finished, be sure to click on the Save Profile button.
Each financial advisor may have up to three email addresses for receiving the daily/weekly electronic SL Notifications.
