Badges
Badges control the look and feel of Reports, Dashboards and Templates in Simple Fund 360 & Simple Invest 360.
A Badge is related to an entity. This relationship is displayed in:
- The Badge screen, where an entity can be attached to a Badge
- The Entity Setup screen when setting up a new entity
The following options can be edited in a Badge:
- The Badge Name
- Financial Reporting Options
- Firm Logo
- Entity Relationships
- Set the Revaluation Order for Managed Funds, Unit Trusts, Shares in Listed Companies and Cryptocurrencies
- Set SMSF Annual Return PDF options
- Notes to the Financial Statements
An entity can only have one Badge.
If you do not create or set a customised Badge option for an entity, the Default Badge will apply. The default badge will also apply for funds migrated from Simple Fund Desktop.
What happens if I change any of these Badge options within an entity? Will this overwrite the options originally created by the Badge?
Any changes you make to an entity's options outside of the Badge screen will only affect that particular entity, the Badge option will remain unchanged.
