Going forward, the Opt-in Required and Disclosure Statement Date will now default to No when adding this for a new client. You will need to change these fields to Yes in order to enter in the dates required. Due to this change, there have been some slight changes made to the current completed fields in XPLAN. Currently, if a client has a date entered in the Next Disclosure Statement Date field, the Disclosure Statement Required field has been changed to Yes. If there is currently no date in this section, the Disclosure Statement Required field has been changed to No. Page 30

31 Going forward, to ensure that the search criteria used when generating the client search for the FDS is correct, you will need to include the below criteria in the search. The criteria will ensure that only the client s that need an FDS are populated in the search results. If this is not used, then the results can show clients who do not require an FDS but have a date entered in the Next Disclosure Statement Date field. In addition, if you are running the Next Disclosure Date Management Report, prior to running the report you will need to run the above search criteria against your client base to generate the list of your clients that have Yes selected., This additional criteria is now required because the Next Disclosure Statement Date cannot be deleted post upgrade. This change is to ensure the date that was last entered is retained for auditing purposes. Page 31
