Reports

Many clients love the feeling of warm paper in their hands, but crafting high-quality reports can be time-consuming. RightCapital has you covered, with easy-to-produce reports that are both high quality and easy to print on demand.

How to Print a Report

To generate a report in RightCapital, open a client plan and navigate to the Gear Icon > Report tab. On this page, you will find a checklist of every module and tab within the client plan:

Check the boxes next to the areas that you would like to include in the report. Clicking a bolded header will automatically select all the sub-sections; selecting an item that is unbolded will only include that one tab.

After making your selections, scroll down and click the Download selected pages button in the lower left. This will generate the report as a PDF file, which can be opened and printed using your standard PDF software:

Pro Tip

With the high degree of customization available in RightCapital, only print what your client wants to see. Too much information can sometimes interfere with clear communication.

How to Customize Reports

Change the Page Order

When creating a report, you have the ability to re-order pages & planning modules to provide tailor-made planning for each client. Within the Gear Icon > Report area, you can drag-and-drop specific tabs or entire modules to customize the order of the PDF that will be generated:

Turn off Page Numbers

If you plan on including additional documents (from outside of RightCapital) within your report, you can turn off the page numbers using the toggle at the bottom of the checklist. This allows for more seamless integration of additional pages and outside documents:

Add New Pages

If you'd like to add additional pages within RightCapital, you can click the + New Page button near the bottom of the checklist. This will allow you to customize the title and subtext to suit your needs. This feature supports rich text like bold and italic font, as well as headers and bullet lists. Highlight a word or phrase to see rich text options:

Additionally, you can add images to the created page. Simply select the "Upload an image" option to add a visual to your customized page.

After adding your new page, you can drag and drop it to choose where you want it to appear in the report. To make future edits to a custom page, click the chat bubble icon next to that page in the report checklist. There is no limit to the number of new pages that you can add.

Customize Specific Sections

Within the Gear Icon > Report tab, you will see certain sections that are underlined. These are areas that can be clicked into, allowing for further customization. Click the headers below for more details on each of these sections:

Risk

Retirement Analysis

Retirement Stress Test

Cash Flows

Tax Strategies

Saving Reports to the Vault

Savings reports directly to a client's Vault is quick and easy. After making your report selections, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the downward-facing arrow to the right of the 'Download Selected Pages' button. This will reveal an additional option to 'Download and Save to Vault':

Choosing this option will still generate and download a PDF file to your computer, but a copy of the same file will also be uploaded automatically to the Shared Folder of the client's Vault. A folder named 'Reports' will be automatically generated and pinned at the top of the Shared Folder, within which the report will be saved:

If your client has been invited to access their RightCapital plan, they can log into their client portal to access the shared folder of their vault. This makes easy work of sharing reports with clients, directly within their RightCapital plan.

Saving reports directly to the Vault can also be utilized as a way to create backups of each report you create. The date each report was generated will be plainly visible both on the cover page of the report, as well as within the name of the file itself.

Customize Your Cover Page

Cover Page Information

To change how your name and firm name are displayed on the cover page of your reports, navigate to the Gear Icon > Account > Profile tab of the Advisor Portal:

This area allows you to update several crucial pieces of information that will feed into the cover page of your PDF reports:

Phone number
Firm name
Address (Street, City, State, and ZIP)
Report Cover Display Name

Please reference the screenshot below to see where each piece of information will populate on the cover page of your PDF reports.

If you would prefer to omit some of this information, all of these fields are optional with the exception of the Firm Name. Leaving these fields blank within the Profile tab will cause them not to appear on your report cover page:

Drag and drop a file directly into the window
Click Pick files from your computer, or

Color Theme and Design

By default, the report cover page will include a geometric design on the right side of the page, with colors that match your chosen color theme. You can customize the colors used by this design, or you can remove this design from the cover page entirely.

The color theme can be customized in the Customization tab, beneath the logo and branded login URL. The colors you select here will be used in-software, as well as within the report cover page design. Click # to the left of the HEX code to select the preferred color from a color palette, or enter a specific HEX color code into the box provided. If you aren't certain of a certain color's HEX code, you can use the color dropper to immediately identify and apply a specific color:

To remove the cover page design from the PDF report, you can select "Do not include colors" within the Colors on PDF report cover page dropdown, to the right of primary and secondary color selections:

Add a Custom Report Disclosure

To add a custom disclosure to your PDF reports, navigate to the Gear Icon > Account > Profile tab of the Advisor Portal:

The Report Disclosure field will be listed at the bottom of the Profile tab, above the RightCapital Leads URL. There is no character limit, and this field will automatically expand to fit additional text. Advisors with the team sharing feature will have the option to "Use a firm setting" or "Use my own":

Your custom disclosure will be included on the final page(s) of the report, after the 9-point disclosure that is included in every RightCapital report.
