Gathering & Inputting Client Data
There are multiple ways to gather data when entering clients into RightCapital. When working with a new client, leverage RightCapital's customizable data collection template to uncover important details about the client's financial picture. Alternatively, virtually onboarding clients is a great way to save time and increase efficiency.
Whether you are entering a new client or updating an existing client's plan there are important steps needed to access areas that you can edit. Use the steps below to update or create new financial plans:
Use the dropdown menu on the upper left corner of the screen to select the advisor license the client is associated with.
Once you have accessed the advisor's portal, use the client list to search for clients that need to be updated, or select "Add a new client" to create a new plan.
Use the six steps of initial data entry, when creating a new plan, or the profile tab, in an existing plan, to update the clients' family profile, income, savings, net worth, expenses, and goals.
Client Settings
Client settings are used to tailor the financial planning approach to your advisor's unique philosophy. Take time initially to review the available settings and align your favorites choices with each new client you create. For an informative article that describes global client settings click the link.

Report Generation
Once a financial plan has been updated or created, leverage the Gear Icon > Reports tab to produce reports that are high quality and easy to print on demand. Use this article to learn more about customizing report generation.
After the report has been generated the PDF file can be printed, emailed, or stored in the vault, a secure cloud storage area found in each financial plan.
