Overview
Advice firms are made up of people who are all performing different and vital roles. Whether they manage assets, book appointments or ensure everything the firm does is compliant, each user has different information needs. One common thread among these roles is having fast access to all the information they care about most.
Practifi enables a personalized experience through our role-based apps, ensuring users can access the most relevant information quickly and efficiently. Out of the box, Practifi provides users with a suite of apps designed to cater to some commonly found roles in a firm. This article outlines the functionality available through the Compliance app.
The Compliance App
Compliance users are focused on making sure the details of your firm's Prospects and Clients information meet all regulatory requirements and that you're working in your Client's best interests. The Compliance app is built with this in mind, giving users snapshots of missing information so these get resolved quickly as possible and give your current and future Clients an excellent experience.
Users can be assigned the Compliance app as their default app, meaning that they will automatically land on this app when logging into Practifi, or they have the Compliance app available in addition to their other assigned apps. A user will need to have the Practifi - Assigned Apps - Compliance permission set assigned to their user profile to access the app. Once we've assigned the correct permission set, the app will become available in the App Launcher located in the upper left-hand corner of Practifi.
The Home Page
The Home Page displays activities occurring in your firm and displays the information that matters most into a series of tiles and charts. Selecting a chart or tile reveals the records related to them in a record table. To learn more about the Home Page, please consult our Understanding the Home Page and Using the Home Page articles.

Risk Profile
The Risk Profile feature within Practifi provides the functionality for Advisors, Client Service, Compliance and Management users to complete a survey to determine the proper asset investment allocation for your Client's portfolio. Users can save multiple Risk Profiles to your Client's Household, Organization or Individual record to track their Risk Profile over several years with your firm.
System Administrators can enable or disable the Risk Profile feature within your Practifi instance. Please consult our Enabling Policy Coverage & Risk Profile article for enabling or disabling this feature.
Please note: If your firm utilizes the eMoney or MoneyGuidePro integration, you may not need the functionality provided by our Risk Profile feature. Reach out to your CSM with any questions on if this functionality is helpful for your firm.
