Client Portal updates – Progress bar and overview page

In case you missed it, we recently launched the new Client Portal in Mercury Nexus and thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out regular enhancements to make it even better. 

Here’s the latest: 

Progress bar
We’ve added a progress bar so your clients can quickly see where they are in the workflow, what’s completed, and what’s still ahead, and it’s visible at the top of every page.

Overview page 
Your clients can now access a progress overview page from the dropdown menu near their name, showing all the modules in their request.

This page highlights what’s been done, what’s underway, and what’s next. They can jump straight into any module with a single click for a smoother experience.

Additional updates to your client’s experience:

  • We’ve streamlined the personal details module to make it quicker and easier for your clients to complete.
  • Clients who have no records of any properties and mortgages, debts, and support payments and other income, can now skip this module and go straight to the next.
  • Improved helper text added for mandatory assets to make things clearer and reduce confusion.

Your feedback is key to shaping the final version of the portal and ensuring it continues to meet your clients’ needs. Please continue to share your feedback with clientportal@connective.com.au.

Latest updates - New Borrowing Capacity Calculator

In case you missed it – we recently launched our new Borrowing Capacity Calculator, and thanks to your feedback, we’re making regular updates.

Latest updates:

Save and manage scenarios directly in the Opportunity

When using the new Borrowing Capacity Calculator, please access it directly within an Opportunity record in the CRM. This lets you create, save, and manage your scenarios in one place. It also keeps client data consistent and easy to maintain across the platform.

To streamline the experience, we’ll soon retire the standalone calculator links from the Mercury Nexus Apps dashboard (as seen below).

Combining living expense per household

Living expenses are now automatically combined when multiple applicants share the same household. This provides a more accurate and streamlined assessment.

We’re building this tool with your needs in mind. Please keep sharing your feedback as it’s shaping what comes next.

To learn how to access the new calculator, start using it, and share your feedback, please refer to this Wiki article and follow the step-by-step guide.

In case you missed it, we recently launched the new Client Portal and thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out regular enhancements to make it even better.

Here’s the latest:

No more backtracking - Your clients can resume where they left off!

Your clients can now save their progress and return later to complete their submission with the new exit and resume later function. No more clicking through pages to get back to where they were. This update makes the experience smoother and more seamless for your clients.

Your feedback is key to shaping the final version of the portal and ensuring it continues to meet your clients’ needs. Please continue to share your feedback with clientportal@connective.com.au.

Open Banking update: New “Share with Broker” button

It's now easier for your clients to complete the Open Banking process! 

You told us that some clients were getting stuck after connecting their bank accounts - not realising they needed to click “I’m done connecting banks” to complete the process. This meant brokers were seeing the Open Banking status as “In Progress” even when clients thought they were done. 

NextGen has now made this clearer. Clients will now see a “Share with Broker” button when they’ve finished linking their accounts.

What this means for you:
If a client says they’ve completed Open Banking, but you still see “In Progress”, just remind them to click “Share with Broker”. Once they do, you’ll get access right away.

Here’s a quick look at what the new “Share with Broker” step looks like:

Bigger, Better Notes – No More Character Limits (Unless You're Emailing)

We know how important it is for you to capture detailed notes on your Opportunities, People, and Companies. Whether it's recording key client updates, internal commentary, or anything else that helps you stay on top of your work, your notes are essential.

Until now, there’s been a character limit on these notes to ensure they could be safely sent as emails through your email service provider. But we understand that not every note is meant to be emailed. That limitation made it harder to store the full context when all you wanted was to keep a record.

That’s why we’ve made an important update to give you more flexibility.

What’s changed

You can now write up to 256,000 characters in your notes, as long as the “Send as Email” checkbox is not selected.

Here’s how it works:

  • If “Send as Email” is not ticked, you can write long-form notes, up to 256,000 characters, to store in the CRM.
  • If you later decide to send that note as an email, and it exceeds the 64,000 character limit (the maximum allowed by email providers), you’ll see warning message.
    and the Send button will be disabled.
  • Once the note is reduced to within the 64,000 character limit, the message will disappear and you’ll be able to send it as an email.

What this means for you

  • More flexibility to store longer, richer notes when you're not emailing them.
  • Better documentation across opportunities and contacts, without worrying about limits.
  • Email-safe guardrails that step in only when needed.

We made this change because of your feedback, and we're always listening. This is one of many enhancements we’re working on to make your experience smoother and more efficient.

We’d love your feedback! Share your thoughts and suggestions via the Idea Portal to help us make Nexus CRM even better.
