Welcome to the December Edition of The Edge!

In this Issue:
At Exempt Edge, we value client satisfaction. It's always a pleasure to work closely with our clients to provide solutions that meet their corporate needs and receive feedback on how our team has helped them. Thank you, Wendy McKenna and the team at Alta West Capital, for the great review!

"We adopted Exempt Edge early on because it was the only system developed and intuitive specifically for the Exempt Market. On the back end, it has streamlined much of our processing. On the client-facing end, it provides a sharp-looking, easy-to-navigate portal for our investors to log in and access their account information. Exempt Edge listens to the requests of its clients as the team is always responsive and constantly makes system updates to improve the user experience."
Coming Soon
We are adding a new email notification setting for users utilizing our EE-Sign module. They will be able to control whether specific investors can receive email notifications when EE-Sign documents are sent to them.
What's New
Branch Manager Development
We are excited to spotlight a new feature released earlier this month named ‘Branch Managers.’ This module allows users to track commissions and generate reports, including details of the transaction that includes a branch. The Branch Manager module has a few added features, which are listed below:
  • Able to add ‘Unassigned’ as a Branch Manager option when creating the branch profile for the cases where only one individual is managing the team.
  • A banner was added to the commission tab when a value is not saved. A yellow banner is now displayed if a user makes any changes to the commission table without clicking save.
  • If there is an active connection between a Branch and an Advisor, from the Advisor Profile module in the Additional Information section, a new field will display the Branch Manager and the name of the advisor. 
  • From the Advisor Module, in the second tab named “Branch Manager,” a plus (+) icon was added to see more details if more than 5 advisors are connected. 
Front Facing Onboarding Templates
  • An EMD Importer was created for issuers to add dealers into their system by filling out a templated spreadsheet and uploading it to the Imports Module.
  • Advisor Importer is a new import system added to the Imports module that allows users to add advisor profiles by also filling out a templated spreadsheet.
  • Income Template: a new template that users can import Income transactions without the corresponding DRIP transaction.

New 'Send Email' Option When Uploading Documents to Investor Profiles and Transactions
To improve flexibility in how document notification emails are sent out, a 'Yes/No' option was added to the Investor and Transaction Documents tables upon initial document upload. If 'Yes' is selected, an email will be sent to the investor informing them of a document that was uploaded to their profile if their investor communication preferences are set to ‘Email’ and their ‘Document Notification’ toggle is ON.

Advisor details will be displayed on the created transactions when matched to the correct rep codes.
