Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it take my submitted changes to appear in Salesforce?
A: SF Update submits changes to Distributor Services. Request types require
different processing times, therefore the number of days from request to
completion will vary. In addition, you must consider the time required to transmit
changes from DSS to Salesforce. On average, updates will be reflected in Salesforce
between 3-7 business days.
Q: If an advisor moves his office to a new location, does the user have to fill out a
request for every staff person?
A: Distributor Services system does not automatically apply a change of address for
every contact in that office – a separate address change request would need to be
created for each record in Salesforce.
Q: Related to the question above, if the new related contact is at the same location
as the advisor I’m relating them to, do I have to enter this information?
A: Yes, you will have to enter all the information for the new Related Contact.
Q: Is SF Update available on the Blackberry?
A: No, SF Update is only available when logging directly to salesforce.com on a
computer or tablet.
Q: I don’t see Manulife Key Contacts as a request type. How do I submit those
requests?
A: Changes or additions to Manulife Key Contacts require business approvals.
Please contact your Salesforce Subject Matter Expert or your manager for
information on how to make these changes.
Q: Why do I have to delete the data for a field that I am trying to update?
A: Without deleting the text first, trailing characters will appear in the address,
email, phone, or fax fields. Be sure to highlight the text before typing the new data
in order to remove all traces of the previous entry. If you use the TAB key to move
from field to field, it will automatically highlight all the data in that field, and as you
type the new text, the new text will replace what was previously highlighted.
For support for Manulife hardware/ software,
please contact the Service Desk by email at
[email protected]
or
contact DTSC (Distribution Technology Service Desk) at 1 800 667-4266
during regular business hours.
