Understanding News Alerts and deadline widgets

Understand firm-wide News Alerts and available deadline widgets on the Advisor Dashboard.

Use News Alerts and any deadline widgets on the Advisor Dashboard for firm-wide information and general reminders. They are separate from client-specific updates and alerts.

News Alerts

News Alerts can include:

  • Planworth product or feature notices

  • General tax or guideline information

  • Other firm-wide announcements

These notices are not a client's Wealth Insights roadmap or Financial Insights result.

Deadline widgets

When shown, deadline widgets may include reminders related to:

  • RRSP contribution timing

  • Personal tax filing

  • The CRA prescribed rate

Treat these as general reminders. Confirm current dates and rates using the appropriate official or firm-approved source. The widgets do not calculate a client's contribution room or decide what action a client should take.

How the notices differ

  • News Alerts: Firm-wide information.

  • Deadline widgets: General calendar or rate reminders.

  • Client Updates: Pending updates associated with clients.

  • Client Dashboard alerts: Prompts for one household.
