Datafeed Setup Instructions

Open the instructions for each stage of the setup process by clicking the arrow below.

Stage 1

Establish CFS Edge Datafeed

Sign in to the CFS Edge website

Open a second browser tab and log in to AdviserLogic > Go to Datafeeds > Select Datafeed Codes > Add

Select CFS Edge from the drop-down.

A new window will open, enter the CFS Edge adviser code, and select Get Access

Token

The page will redirect to the CFS Edge website, where you will be taken to an authorisation page.

On this page, you will need to review CFS Edge’s terms and conditions.

Select Yes, Allow to establish the datafeed connection.

⚠️Important⚠️

If you select "No, Do Not Allow," the datafeed connection will be terminated.

Once authorised, a confirmation message will display, and you will be redirected back to AdviserLogic.

A brief confirmation message will display, and you will be redirected back to AdviserLogic.

A green tick will now show next to the registration within the datafeed screen in AdviserLogic, indicating the CFS Edge datafeed is now established.

Your CFS Edge datafeed should commence automatically within 48-72 hours. Most client accounts will map automatically.

📌Note

If the mapping criteria is unable to be mapped automatically, this may need to be done manually.

Stage 2

Map Client Accounts

Once the datafeed is live you need to Map the client's accounts from the Datafeed to AdviserLogic.

Navigate to the Datafeed screen and select the provider from Datafeed Management > Select Platform from the dropdown.

Select the Adviser Code from the dropdown. option.

Search for the individual, and select the Map options.

Select the Map button. Choose From:

Create New - If the client is not added to Adviserlogic and you want to map the account code with the client without creating the client in the Fact Find.

Existing - To map the datafeed to an existing client. Recommended

Joint - To map the account code with the joint entity.

Once the account is mapped search for the client again and select the refresh button. This will force the data through immediately, rather than waiting the requisite 24 hours.

📌Note

Avoid mapping to the superannuation entity, as AdviserLogic creates this after the account is mapped.

Always map to the Client’s Name, SMSF, or Trust.

If Super Is the Policy Owner.

When a super fund owns an insurance policy, it should be linked to the corresponding super fund account rather than the client or partner.

Please ensure that the relevant super fund account is already present in the client's superannuation section.


Datafeed Management

Creating Clients

Create/Amend Client Accounts

To create or amend client account details, log in to CFS Edge:

When creating a new client, from the Client Type screen > select Create Client Profile under Client profile

Note
The account opening integration only supports the creation of a client profile. It does not support the creation of a company profile.

Enter the Client Details > Select Search


The search will check if there is an existing record for the client in the CFS system.

If no match is found, a notification will show, and the existing AdviserLogic client can be imported.

Select the Import Client Details button from the bottom right of the window.

From the Selected Provider drop-down > select AdviserLogic



Select the client from the list provided. Upon selection, you will be prompted for confirmation. Once you have verified the client details, select Accept to import these.



The pertinent Fact Find details will be retrieved from AdviserLogic and automatically populated in the respective fields.




For any other assistance related to account opening, please contact CFS Edge team.

Document Vault

Document Vault Integration

In the phase 2 release, once the CFS Edge datafeed code is established and the client accounts are mapped, any documents, and associated details, will be automatically visible in the Document Vault.

The Document Vault will also contain an option to preview or download the documents.

A PDF will be generated and downloaded once the file is selected.
