Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic PDF Mobile ✔ Client Portal

The relationship diagram shows how accounts, groups, and Households are connected with each other by displaying connections in a visual tree structure. Each entity is displayed on a card, and each card displays fully customizable data points. This diagram shows how accounts and groups are organized within groups and Households. It can also be useful for troubleshooting setup and understanding complicated Household structures.

In the relationship diagram, you'll find the following features:

The Relationship Diagram and Entities

The relationship diagram is generated for whatever entity is listed in the Find Data For list. For example:

The relationship diagram respects the entity display limitations of the report. For example, if a report doesn't display Households, only accounts and groups will be available for viewing in the relationship diagram on that report page. On the Relationship Diagram page itself, you can view any Households, groups, or accounts.

Access the Relationship Diagram

In addition to being available on the Reports menu, find the Relationship Diagram next to the Find Data For list on many pages. For more information, see Access the Relationship Diagram.

Why Use the Relationship Diagram?

In the relationship diagram, you will find versatile settings that let you answer many questions about entity relationships, such as:

Looking at a Holdings report, you notice some unique holdings you didn't expect to see in that group. You wonder why those particular holdings are showing up. The first step in troubleshooting is to confirm which accounts are members of the group.

To quickly check group membership, click the button next to the Find Data For list. This opens the relationship diagram for that group, establishing that the group holding those unique securities (marked in green) is a direct member of the group you're looking at.

Features of the Relationship Diagram

The relationship diagram is easily customizable. Interactive reporting features include the following.

This report displays managed, unmanaged, and total account value, flows, returns and more data points from the Summary report. For details and considerations about these data points, see Summary Report Data Point Calculations.

Customize the Data Points on Tiles

As with dynamic reports, the data points on the relationship diagram are configurable. To change data points on a tile, access the full relationship diagram and click Edit on the relationship diagram page. This allows you to control what data are displayed on each card type, choosing from a wide variety of account and Summary report data points.

Identify Entities With Icons

Familiar icons help you identify what entity type each card is. Icons are:

Icon Entity Type/Action

Account

Closed account

Group

Household

View the report for that entity.

Switch Find Data For List Selection

When you hover over the account, group, or Household icon on a specific card, it changes to a magnifying glass. Click this to display the report for that entity. This is useful if, for example, you want to look at the performance of a group and then each of its direct members individually.

Identify and View Group and Household Membership

Any account or group that belongs to multiple groups or Households is marked with a Quick Look button. You can:

See Ownership or Demonstration Accounts

See ownership accounts in the context of their parent account and the overall group and Household.

For more information about these types of accounts, see Understand Partial Ownership Accounts and Create Generic Demonstration Accounts.

Use Tooltips to See Details

Hover over the name of the account to see the account number. Hover over a data point to see the As of Date.

Include on the Client Portal

Share the relationship diagram with your clients to help them visualize how their accounts and groups relate to each other. The Relationship Diagram is available as a report page under Client Views or next to the Find Data For list. In client portals, it shows only accounts and groups in that client's Household.
