Adding Manual or Offline Assets to Blueleaf
This article will show you how to add manual or offline assets on behalf of your clients. In some cases, your client may have assets that aren't accessible online. Since you still want to give them a complete view of their assets, you'll want them to add them to Blueleaf for your clients.
Navigating to the Manual Accounts page
First, you will want to log into your Blueleaf dashboard and click on View Accounts:
On the Account Overview page, click on the new Manual Accounts tab:
On this page is where you can create new manual accounts, and edit values or transactions for existing manual accounts. Updating these values regularly and adding any related cash-flow transactions will allow Blueleaf to accurately calculate the performance of these assets. Some additional functionality on this page include:
- Several sorting and filtering options to find manual accounts easily
- Quickly add a new balance directly from the “Balance” column
- Rename a manual account and underlying data
- Search a household when adding a new account
- Bulk Manual Account creation and value updates
Create a New Manual Account
1) From the Manual Account tab, click "Create New Account" button:
2) Fill out the details in the pop-up screen that appears:
- Search for household via household field
- Enter the Holding Name
- Enter the Holding Value
- Enter the Value as of Date (do not enter values in the future)
Click "Save" button once completed.
Editing an Existing Manual Account
To locate a manual account you created previously, you can filter by name of the manual account, when the manual account last updated, or search for the name of a client household with the manual account.
You may also choose to sort via column, and scroll through the existing grid to locate the manual account:
- Clicking the pencil icon next to the manual account name will allow you to edit the existing manual account's name.
- Clicking the + symbol next to the amount in the Balance column will allow you to quickly update the value of the manual account.
- Selecting the gear icon in the Manage column to view the details page for a manual account, where you can enter additional values and transactions for the manual account by toggling between the Holdings and Transactions tabs.
You can also delete any existing balances or transactions by clicking on the "-" to the right of the value.
