What are the Latest Updates to Toolbox?
Toolbox Password Reset functionality update
The Password Reset functionality within Toolbox has been updated. Previously when a new account was created, or a reset password was requested, we would send you an email containing:
- Your username
- A temporary password
- Link to Toolbox to reset your password
The process has now been updated. The email you will receive will contain a link and a process to follow. For example, if you have forgotten your password, then you will click on the Forgot Password link on the Toolbox Login page – you will be taken to a page where you can use your username to reset your password. If your username is valid, you will then be sent an email with a link to reset your password.
Note: Please note that the new password link is only available for 24 hours, if you try to select the password reset link after 24 hours it will take you to a page that informs you that the password reset link is no longer valid. However, you can request another password reset link email via the email you have received above. Once you click on the valid password reset link, this will take you to a page to enter your username. If this occurs, then you will have to start the above process again:
- Click the forgot password link in order to get a new valid Password reset link
- Enter a valid username
- When prompted, enter your new password and then repeat to confirm your new password
When a valid password has been entered and the Change Password button is selected then you will get the following message:
When you click on continue, this will take you back to the Login page, where you will be asked to enter your Username and new password. If you try the Forgotten Password link, but your account is locked, then you will receive an email that informs you that your account is locked. This is due to too many failed password attempts when trying to log in. If you haven’t got a memorable word set up, then you will get the following email with the details to contact the Helpdesk team, who will unlock your account and send you a new password reset email link. If you do have a memorable word set, then this will allow you to self-serve and unlock your account.
The email that you will receive will have link, when clicked it will redirect you to a page for you to enter characters from your memorable word. If validation is passed, when you click the reset button it will take you through the process to set a new password and follow the process outlined above.
CONSUMER DUTY CHANGES
In line with Consumer Duty, we have made some further enhancements to the Fact Find sections. Within this release, the following sections have changed:
- Personal Details – Dependants DOB
- Personal Details – Occupation Details > Other Employment Income
- Personal Details – Secondary Employment Income Details
- Personal Details – Monthly Expenditure Details
- Personal Details – Health Details – Smoker
Fact Find > Personal Details > Main Details > Dependents DOB
Following feedback, we have added the Dependant’s DOB back into the Fact Find. When a DOB is entered, the age is automatically calculated and displayed as a read-only field. For historical data, any ages keyed in will still display but once a DOB is entered it will update the age field.
Note: For any Fact Find that has been completed but not yet validated and pulled over to the compliance summary, please ensure you do this prior to the release otherwise you will be asked to complete the dependants’ DOB, as it is mandatory on submission.
Fact Find > Personal Details > Occupation Details > Other Employment Income to be included with Basic Salary & Secondary Employment Income Details
This section has now been amended adding the following subheadings to show Guaranteed Income grouped together and irregular/ad-hoc incomes:
- Guaranteed Income
- Non-Guaranteed Income
Fact Find > Monthly Expenditure Details
The expenditure page has now been amended adding in subsections and reordering slightly to fit the expenditure into the following categories:
- Committed Expenditure
- Utilities
- Credit Commitments
- Insurances
- General Living Costs
- Savings and Investments
- Non-Committed Expenditure
Two new expenditure rows have been added:
- Car Insurance
- Buildings only/Buildings & Contents Insurance
Amended ‘Other Insurance Contracts e.g. Buildings & Contents, Car Insurance etc’ to now read – ‘Other Insurance Contracts e.g. Buildings & Contents, Car Insurance etc needs amending to read ‘Other Insurance Contracts e.g. mobile phone / boiler cover / specialist i.e. jewellery/bikes’.
Amended ‘General Household Maintenance’ to now read – ‘General Household Maintenance amended to read General Household Maintenance e.g., window cleaner, cleaner, gardener’. Each subsection is now collapsible.
Fact Find > Emergency Fund/Health & Will Details > Health Details
To ensure the correct smoker status is recorded on the provider application and to avoid future risk of non-payout due to incorrect health disclosures, the smoker options have now changed adding in Past Smoker and recording when last smoked. Your options are now:
- Smoker (previously Yes)
- Non-Smoker (Previously No)
- Past Smoker
If Past Smoker is selected another question is, then asked ‘Date when a nicotine product was last used’ with a date box. Please note the following mapping for Solution Builder and Iress (Exchange):
- If the client was a Past Smoker more than 12 months ago from the date you do the protection source, they will be mapped over as a non-smoker.
- If the client is as Past Smoker 12 months or less months from the date you do the protection source, they will be mapped as a smoker.
We have also amended the smoker status on the Personal Details > Main Details page and like before if completed when creating your client, it will update the Health Details page within Fact Find or vice versa.
