moneyinfo 10.0 release
We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of moneyinfo 10.0 which brings you a number of exciting new enhancements! This release has been scheduled for the week of 27 th September and as always, is subject to successful testing.
MI10.0 includes:
- A brand new Client Profile view in MIM, designed to bring the important client information onto one page, including their messages, contact details, relationships and other important information. This profile page will allow operators to perform key actions more efficiently, such as uploading documents or sending messages.
- A new Workflow progress bar, allowing clients to see how far through a workflow process they are
- The ability to suppress email notifications generated via a Workflow process, providing flexibility to notify clients on the key messages
- Integration with Fasttrak for secure document distribution of reports, that incorporates client approvals for rebalance and fund switches using integrated workflows.
- A display of Book Cost and yield figures for Pulse users
- XPlan update to include additional information via the data feed including NINO and Preferred Name
- An enhancement to retain filters when refreshing the messaging page in MIM
Lots of work goes into each release of moneyinfo but as always you are at the heart of this and we thank you for your feedback and ideas for enhancements and new features.
Full details of all the enhancements will be detailed in the Release Notes and uploaded to the Communications Library after release.
If you have any questions, need help, advice or training on any of the functions within moneyinfo, please get in touch with our Support Team on 03303 600300 .
moneyinfo Manager and Internet Explorer
We are working on some new functionality within our new workflow functionality that will NOT work with Internet Explorer (IE). We will therefore no longer support the use of moneyinfo Manager via IE.
Please check that your Operators have access to an alternative browser such as Edge or Chrome.
A lack of support isn't the only thing that should concern you about Internet Explorer – there are plenty of reasons you should think twice before using IE .
If you think this could cause any particular issue, please let us know as soon as possible and if you would like to know how more specifically which users are using IE we can provide these on request.
Please contact the Support Team on 03303 600300 or email: support@moneyinfo.com .

moneyinfo support - The Top 5
We investigated the most commonly submitted support queries and have listed the top 5 below with some info on how to solve them.
1. DocuSign and Workflow Training
Secure communication, key processes and efficient document delivery is at the forefront of what we deliver.

2. Locked Accounts for Client and Operators
As an operator you can unlock client’s accounts and operators accounts.
To unlock a client account , select Client > Actions > Unlock (this action will only appear if your client is locked out of their account).
To unlock an operators account you must have the Manage Operators roles against your Operator Profile. Go to Organisation Tab > Operator name > Actions > Unlock (this action will only appear if your client is locked out of their account).
3. Incorrect Valuations and Data Feed issues
Incorrect, duplicated, and missing valuations have been raised frequently on the Support Desk. As all Provider Feed functions vary, here is a quick tip on how to get issues resolved swiftly:
When raising a Support Ticket, it is always best to provide us with as much information as possible. The following information will allow us to investigate immediately:
- Client’s full name
- Policy numbers
- Expected value – identify the specific fund with the incorrect value (where possible)
- If relevant, provide screenshots of the source of the valuation or the MIM error
- The date on which the transaction/valuation is incorrect
4. Teams, Service Groups and Security Groups
You can streamline and categorise your clients and operators into Teams, Service Groups and Security Groups.
Teams
Here you can group a selection of clients into a Team, please see some examples below:
- Specific set of clients who belong to a specific Adviser/s
- Specific calibre of clients by Net Worth
- Clients associated with various provider feeds.
- Any other segregation that applies to your company.
Service Groups
Here you can control what content is delivered on the Portal to your clients. You can put your clients into specific Security Groups **Note clients can only be in one security group, not multiple** You can design the view to match the requirements of each Service Group.
Security Groups
Here you can assign specific roles and permissions to your company staff (Administrators, Adviser, Para-planners etc). This will allow these operators limited or complete and/or bespoke access to moneyinfo Manager.
If you would like further information or help setting up Teams, Service Groups or Security Groups, please contact our Support Team on 03330 600 300
5. Automated Communication Campaigns
Automated Communication is a series of timed E-mails with branded pre-set content sent out at specific times and frequencies. This is the only time we would refer to using e-mails through the portal, these campaigns can be sent to all or specific sets of clients to deliver marketing style communication.
Catch up on our webinar on Automated Communication .
