Broker Client Account Templates

Client account templates let you save and reuse application information for new client accounts. You can create, modify and delete client account templates. When you add client accounts from within Account Management, you will have the option of selecting a saved client account template, which will automatically complete portions of the client account application.

To create an advisor client account template

1. Log in to Account Management, and then click Manage Clients > Create and Link Accounts > Create > Client Account Templates.
2. In the Pick template list, click Create.

3. In the new Template name field, type the name of the template.
4. In the Customer Type list, select a customer type (Individual, Joint, IRA, Trust or Organization).
5. In the Base Currency list, select the base currency for the client account.
6. In the Funding Type list, select the type of deposit that will be used to fund client accounts using this template.
7. In the Margin list, select the type of margin account (Reg T for a Reg T Margin account, Cash for a Cash account, Portfolio for a Portfolio Margin account or Guaranteed Dollars and/or Cash Collateral).

The following screen displays the available Trading Permissions for the selected Margin account type.

8. Select the trading permissions by clicking the appropriate check boxes, then click Continue.

Note: You use this screen the same way you use the Trading Permissions page in the Manage Account > Trade Configuration > Permissions menu.

9. Complete the Investment Objectives and Intended Purpose of Trading, Investment Experience and Financial Information sections on the next page.

You can skip any individual section on this page by clicking the Skip button, or you can omit all of this information from the client account template by clicking Skip All at the bottom of the page.

Click Continue to go to the next page, Back to go back to the previous page or Delete to delete the current template.

10. If you chose any Customer Type other than Organization, the next page that opens lets you select the market data subscriber status (Non-Professional or Professional). Click I agree in two places if you selected Non-Professional, then click Continue.
11. Select news and market data subscriptions for the client templates by clicking the appropriate check boxes, then click Continue.

Note: This page is identical to the Market Data Subscriptions page in the Manage Clients > Fees > Configure menu.

12. Enter the client fees on a fee-per-trade basis and interest markups and markdowns that will be associated with this client account template, then click Continue.
13. Verify that all the information in the client template is correct, then click Save.
