Assistant University
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Omaha for our
annual Assistant University conference. We especially want
to thank those of you who visited our Technology Solutions
Center, sat in on a roundtable discussion, attended technology
training sessions and offered feedback on ways to improve
our technology.
We appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate and discuss our
technology. We hope to see you in Omaha again next year.

National Financial Updates
Wealthscape Reporting Dashboard
A new Asset Allocation widget was added to the Wealthscape
Dashboard in September and enhanced to include financial
sector and benchmark data, new charts and account position
data related to taxable and municipal bond and stock sectors.
These enhancements will be complete prior to the retirement
of Wealthscape Portfolio Analytics in 2019.
Pershing Updates
NetXInvestor ® New Look and Updates
Pershing’s new login page and process will
streamline clients’ NetXInvestor login experience
and increase security. The Identity Verification Code
experience was enhanced and renamed to One-
Time Passcode. The user ID and password fields
now appear together on the first login page. Clients’
user IDs and passwords remain the same.
To help monitor activity, email alerts will be sent
when a user ID is locked, a user logs in from an
unrecognized device, changes their security email
address, changes their password, or requests
to remember a device.
NetX360 ® Notification Center
Streamlined Alerts
Notification Center is a new delivery channel for
alerts in NetX360 and helps consolidate your
notifications in one location. In Notification Center,
you can:
• View a stream of alerts using the bell icon
instead of individual pop-ups on the task bar.
• Move the streaming alert window to your
preferred location, such as another monitor,
after clicking the double arrow to undock
the window.
• Use new, type-ahead technology searches
across all alert types.
• View a consolidated list of alerts without
moving between alert types.
• Mark alerts as “Archived” to remove them from
view or as “Read” to dim them while keeping
them in view.
