Page 7 First Time Setup When you open Outlook for the first time after installing eMoney for Outlook, you will immediately see the Welcome screen of the Sync Wizard, which will allow you to synchronize your Outlook contact information with the eMoney Advisor application. You will need to set up the syncing options before you begin using eMoney for Outlook. You will also see the following changes to Outlook: • The Outlook menu bar will contain an eMoney menu. • An eMoney icon (a lowercase e) will appear on the Outlook toolbar. Page 8 Note: Microsoft Outlook 2010 users will access the eMoney menu and icon from the Add-Ins tab of the Outlook menu. • The Client pane will appear to the right of the Outlook window. Notes • If you click on an e-mail in Outlook prior to syncing any contacts/clients, the following message will be displayed in the Client pane. Page 9 • If you click on a contact in Outlook prior to syncing any contacts/clients, the following message will be displayed in the Client pane. Syncing Outlook and eMoney 1. You can do any of the following to start the syncing process: • Select Next on the Sync Wizard Welcome screen • Select the Sync with eMoney item from the eMoney menu • Click the eMoney icon on the toolbar 2. You will be required to accept the Terms of Service for the eMoney for Outlook software in order to continue. Review the Terms of Service, and then select the “I accept the Terms of Service above” check box and click Next to accept and continue. 3. You will then be asked to enter your User Name and Password login information for eMoney. Page 10 4. Click OK to continue. Note • You cannot change your eMoney password inside of Outlook. When your eMoney password expires, you will need to change it in the eMoney application before you can login and/or access any client data in Outlook. 5. Next, the Sync Contacts with eMoney dialog will appear, allowing you to select different options for syncing your Outlook contacts with eMoney clients. Page 11 Advisor selections include: • Include eMoney Clients that are shared to me – Selecting this option allows you to synchronize clients shared to you in addition to your own clients. • Sync Direction • Link Only – Outlook contacts will be added to your eMoney Advisor Client List and eMoney Advisor clients will be added as Outlook contacts, but each application will maintain its own contact information. Any changes made to an eMoney client’s contact information in the eMoney application will not be reflected in Outlook, and vice versa. • Two Way – Outlook contacts will be added to your eMoney Advisor Client List and eMoney Advisor clients will be added as Outlook contacts. Outlook contacts and eMoney clients will be synced with each other. Any changes made to an eMoney client’s information in the eMoney application will be reflected in Outlook, and vice versa. • 1 Way: Outlook to eMoney – Outlook contacts will be added to your eMoney Advisor Client List, along with all pertinent client information. Any client information changes should be made in Outlook and synced to appear in eMoney. Any changes made in eMoney will not be reflected back in Outlook. • 1 Way: eMoney to Outlook – eMoney Advisor clients will be added as Outlook contacts, along with any pertinent contact information. Any client information changes should be made in eMoney Advisor and synced to appear in Outlook. Any changes made in Outlook will not be reflected in the eMoney Advisor application. Notes • Users with an Assistant or Planner license will be able to sync changes to client data either from Outlook to eMoney or vice versa. However, those users will not be able to add Outlook contacts to eMoney. Only shared eMoney clients can be added to Outlook. • Depending on the product and/or version of the eMoney Advisor application you purchased, you may not have access to all the synchronization options listed above. Some products only provide the ability to perform a one-way sync between eMoney and Outlook. • If you have the ability to add Organization clients in the eMoney application, you will not be able to sync them with Outlook. • If you have the ability to add Sample clients in the eMoney application, you will not be able to sync them with Outlook. Page 12 6. Once you have selected your syncing options, click Next to continue. 7. The Sync Wizard will compare your Outlook contacts with your eMoney clients. 8. The Sync Wizard is smart enough to realize when the same contact/client exists in Outlook and eMoney by comparing the contact/client’s e-mail address field. This is useful if the contact/client names are not identical (e.g., Bob Smith and Robert Smith). If the e-mail fields are identical, you will be asked to confirm the “match” so that they will be recognized as the same person in Outlook and eMoney. Page 13 9. If a link cannot be made by e-mail address, the Sync Wizard will check for First and Last Name field matches. Note • The first and last name fields are not case sensitive (i.e. the contact/client’s first and last name can be any combination of upper & lower case letters in Outlook and in eMoney and they will still be considered a match). 10. If using Link Only, 1 Way sync (Outlook to eMoney) or Two Way sync, you will receive a dialog asking you if you want to add any of your Outlook contacts as eMoney clients. Use the checkboxes to select which contacts you want to add (or select the Select All checkbox), and then click Next. Note • When synchronizing clients, a “Don’t ask me about the unchecked items again” checkbox will appear at the bottom of the sync dialog. Selecting this checkbox will allow you to exclude any unselected clients/contacts from the synchronization going forward. Any clients/contacts that are excluded will be added to the Ignored List. This option can be reset under Sync Options on Outlook’s eMoney menu. Page 14 11. If using Link Only, 1 Way sync (eMoney to Outlook) or Two Way sync, you will receive a dialog asking you if you want to add your eMoney clients as Outlook contacts. Use the checkboxes to select which clients you want to add (or select the Select All checkbox), and then click Next. 12. If you have Outlook contacts that also exist as eMoney clients and their contact information does not match on an initial sync or you are performing a two-way sync and data was changed in both eMoney and Outlook since your last sync, you will be presented with the following Conflict Resolution dialog. (Note: You will not receive this dialog when the Link Only option is selected.) Page 15 To resolve conflicts at a later time, click Next to skip this step. To resolve conflicts now, click Resolve Conflicts in the center of the page. For each conflict, you will be presented with the following dialog. Click on either the Outlook box or the eMoney box based on which data set you want to keep. After you make your selection, you can choose to use the same resolution for any remaining conflicts by clicking the “Resolve all remaining conflicts using Outlook (or eMoney) information” checkbox that will appear on the bottom of the dialog. When you finish resolving all conflicts click Done to close the conflict resolution dialog then click Next on the Sync Wizard to continue the synchronization process. 13. Once synchronization is complete, a Sync Finished dialog will be displayed, showing that the process is done. Page 16 Click the down arrow next to the word Details to display detailed information about the tasks that were completed during the synchronization. Click Done to close the dialog. Note • If an error occurs during the syncing process, the status bar will be red and the dialog will display an error. Click the down arrow next to Details for the specific error. The problem most likely will be in the way Outlook contact data was entered. Review your contact data in Outlook to ensure all data points are entered correctly in their individual fields (i.e., first and last name of a contact must be entered into their unique individual fields and not combined as one entry under the first name field). eMoney Client Pane When an Outlook contact is linked to eMoney, the eMoney Client pane will display information about the contact when the contact is selected from the Contacts list or when an e-mail from the contact is selected in the Inbox. Contacts that are not linked to eMoney will display a “Contact Not Linked” message in the pane. Note • You must be connected to the Internet to view client data. Client data is never stored on your local computer. To close the eMoney pane, click the “x” at the top right corner of the pane. To reopen the eMoney pane, click eMoney Pane from the Outlook eMoney menu. The eMoney pane contains the following information: Page 17 Client Contact Information The full name of the client and the client’s spouse (if applicable) is displayed at the top of the pane. Holding your mouse over the magnifying glass to the right of the client’s name will display the client’s personal information, including home address, home phone number, work phone number, cell phone number, and e-mail address. Page 18 Clicking the e-mail address link will open a new e-mail addressed to the client. Client Ranks/Totals Three ranks will be listed for the client: Net Worth, Investable Assets, and Assets under Management (AUM). The ranks show the client’s position within each of the three categories across all of your clients. The ranks are listed as both a number and a bar graph. Rolling over the bar shows the actual value of the item and the rank of the client out of your total number of clients. The actual values for the client’s Net Worth, Investable Assets, and AUM are listed to the right of the bar graphs. Ranks and total values are calculated weekly, which is represented by the last updated date shown directly below the bar graph. Notes • Net Worth, Investable Assets, and Assets under Management rankings as well as the total AUM value are not available for shared clients. • The Client Ranks section can be collapsed by clicking the arrow at the bottom of the section. When collapsed, only the rank number will appear for Net Worth, Investable Assets, and Assets under Management. • Clicking the arrow to the right of the collapsed client ranks section will reopen the section.
