Badges 

Badges control the look and feel of Reports, Dashboards and Templates in Simple Fund 360.

A Badge is related to a fund. This relationship is displayed in: 

  • The Badge screen, where a fund can be attached to a Badge
  • The Entity Setup screen when setting up a new fund

A fund can only have one Badge. 

 

The following options can be edited in a Badge:

  • The Badge Name
  • General Report Settings
  • Reporting Options
  • Firm Logo
  • Fund Relationships
  • Set the Revaluation Order for Managed Funds, Unit Trusts, and Shares in Listed Companies
  • Set SMSF Annual Return PDF options
  • Notes to the Financial Statements

If you do not create or set a customised Badge option for a fund, 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 a fund? Will this overwrite the options originally created by the Badge?

Any changes you make to a fund's options outside of the Badge screen will only affect that particular fund, the Badge option will remain unchanged.
