Patches, Updates

Patch 5.0

User Abilities

There is now a section on the User Permissions called “Abilities” which is split from roles.

Abilities allow for fine grained permission in the system.
  • “Verify” allows an agent to self Verify and Submit policies. This does not allow them to cancel them.
  • “Cancel” allows and agent to Cancel policies. It does not allow them to Verify or Submit them.
  • “Upload Documents” allows the agent to upload documents to a policy.
  • “Send Mail” allows and agent to send the welcome email, otherwise the mail button will not show.
  • “Set Vendor” allows an agent to set the Vendor from a list of “Agent Selectable” vendors.
    • A Vendor must be configured as “Agent Selectable” to shows in the list of Vendors for an agent with this permission to use.
    • Set Vendor ONLY WORKS on creating New Lead that has not been automatically created by an Vendor with an Inbound Number set.
  • “Change Vendor” allows an agent to set any vendor regardless of status and “Agent Selectable” both when creating new leads or modifying them.
    • Vendors with an Inbound Phone creating new leads will still create the lead based on the Vendor settings. It can then be edited afterwards with this permission.

Mass Update

Vendors and Policies now have new mass update features for some popular fields. Be careful, there is no undo.

Leads

The following lead fields were added:

  • County,
  • Contact Preference
  • Language

Changing Columns and Sorting

The lead section now allows you to change columns as well as sort data. We will be adding these features to all Policies sections in the next patch.

The change columns button can be found under filters.

Sort By and Sort Order can be found in the leads section.

Policies

The following policy fields were added:

  • Application Number
  • Date Paid
  • Date Reactivated
    • This now gets set when the “Reactivate” button is pressed.
  • Reactivator ID
    • This now gets set when the “Reactivate” button is pressed.

You can now search by Date Paid and Date Reactivated. The Boolean Paid checkbox has been added to the “All” table.

Search by Policy Number and Application Number is now possible as well.

Vendors

Vendors can now be listed as “Active, Inactive or Inactive Visible”, similar to users.

  • Inactive visible will still show when modifying leads soas to not accidentally remove Vendor data.
  • Inactive Visible will show on Filters throughout the system, Inactive will not.
  • [INACTIVE] has been added to labels for both Inactive and Inactive Visible vendors

      • This allows you to choose where inbound calls go to as opposed to just general leads made in the system using the “New” button. It is meant to be used in conjunction with our VOIP Inbound System when the inbound number is not assigned to a Vendor.
  • Products and Fields
    • Can now be filtered by Visible or Hidden to System, Agent or Upline.
    • Now properly respects Menu Order, then Alphabetical, except for duration which follows numerically from 1 month to 1 year+

      • Can only be seen by those with Fronter Permission.
    • Scripts and Rebuttals can now be opened in a different window with a link icon next to it’s name.

  • Users
    • User Carrier Data
      • When a particular carrier is set, it will show Label: Value under the policy as a notice to verifiers or other agents regarding this particular carrier.
    • Agent of Record
      • Check this box if you want an Agent to show up under Agent of Record if you are using the option. Other Agents will not show up. This is to make the menu smaller than the entire list of agents.
    • New Meta: Primary Language
      • Also shows on user list.
    • New Meta: FFM ID
    • New Meta: NPN
  • Vendors
    • Load Delay
      • For use with Inbound Vendors, especially live transfers. This will prevent the system from creating a lead on an inbound call and keep searching for something being sent to that vendor from a Live Transfer companies. It will try X times every X seconds based on what you set it to.
  • Dependents
    • Exclude from Dependents added so we can properly calculate beneficiaries.
  • Policies / Clients
    • Added phone number column to Payment Issues.
    • Stats
      • consolidated into a dropdown.
      • Now shows Beneficiaries.
      • Split calculations between Primary and Ancillary Products.
      • Shows Subsidized Amounts
    • Include Notes
      • Allows for a data dump of each note with it’s attached policy for reporting purposes. This will duplicate policies as each policy will have a list of notes attached duplicating each policy times the amount of notes on the policy. Because notes aren’t attached to policies and are attached to leads, some notes may not reflect a particular policy though they will always refer to the primary lead.
