CLIENT SERVICES
This selection allows you to access individual client screens to view
a client's accounting history, policy information, claim history, etc.
You may also send a client a letter, input Acord forms for a client
or update a client's policy information from this screen.
For a SHORT CUT enter a C at the Main Menu and hit return.
OR
Select 4 (Client Services)
1 (Client Services)
Client # OR name ? Enter the client number and return, or
enter the name exactly as it was entered in the system. If you
are not sure of the way the name was entered, enter the last name
only. The system will search for the name you entered, and when found,
the name and address will appear on screen.
OK (n)? SOP 2
To search names and addresses for a particular client...
If you do not know his first name, the following instructions allow
you to look at a client whose last name is Jones. The system will
display all names with Jones in it. The system will also search the
entire client file and look for Jones stored in any field.
At the Client # OR name? prompt you have 3 options:
1. By typing in @ (at sign) and the name you want, the system
will search the entire client file for that particular name.
For example, by typing in @Jones, the system will list anything
it finds with Jones in it including client name, address lines,
telephone number, etc.
2. By typing in @! (at sign and exclamation point) and the name
you want, the system will only search the name field in the
the client files. (Eg. @!Jones.)
After you choose the option you want and press return, the system will
display 10 names and addresses and pause. At the OK(n)? prompt press
return to view more clients.
NP
When you find the client you are looking for, at the OK(n)? prompt
type in "N" and the question Which #? will display. Type in the
number from the left hand column and the client services screen will
display.
After all names are found, Which #? will display. If you press
return the system exits to Client # or Name?.
A feature you can use at the Client # or Name? is the "Don't Care"
letter. If you want the system to look up names that are pronounced
the same but are spelled differently use this feature. The "Don't
Care" letter is the "&" (Ampersand). For example if you want the
system to search for the name Steel and Steal, type in @!Ste&l at
"Client # or Name?" and both spellings will be displayed.
Look up clients by policy number:
At Client Number or Name?
Input and the policy number with no spaces. (The ( ) is the symbol
above the backward slash.) (eg. HR123456)
To escape from Client Services, hit return at the Your Choice,p?
message and hit return again at the Client # OR name? message.

ADD A POLICY
This selection allows you to store a policy to a client's screen.
Follow steps on page 4.1.1 to access your client's screen, then follow
the procedures below...
Your choice,p? Enter an "A" and return, then enter a "1" (for
1=Add a policy) at the next Your choice,p? prompt.
NOTE: Once you become familiar with the options available in
client services you may enter only the number of the selection you
desire as a shortcut. For example enter a "1" (for 1=Add a policy)
instead of choosing "A" then "1" (for 1=Add a policy).
DATA SOURCE

Your Selection? Press return only for personal lines policies. If
you have commercial acords stored in marketing and wish to have that
information transferred to basic policy information enter a "1".
Commercial package policies such as property, liability, etc. should

Which One? Select the type of policy you need to add.
If you are transferring information from marketing the next two
questions will appear:
Use Acord '86 file? Answer "Y" if you want to transfer the

to have the information transferred from the original (old) acord
file.

Refer to page 4.28.1 for instructions on changing policy numbers.
NOTE: Policy numbers MUST be unique. Duplicate policy numbers
such as BINDER or TO BE ISSUED can cause problems with alternate

is always unique, it is safer to refer to a policy as a generic name
plus the client number. (e.g. BINDER123456)
Effective Date? Enter the policy effective date. Enter the
date in slash form with no leading zeros. (e.g. 1/1/93)

additional screens, after the invoice question, to store information
pertaining to each car. (e.g., symbol, cost new, vehicle id number,
etc.) Remember, if the detail information is not wanted, skip this
field by hitting return.
NOTE: If you plan to utilize the "Single Entry" aspects of the

GENERAL INFORMATION ON COLOR ACORDS - DBI
This section contains basic information that is common to all the
Acords. Instructions for filling out a claims log, used by many of the
Acords, are also contained in this section.
************************************************************
UNIX USERS: It is suggested that you utilize (42) Color Forms
as opposed to the individual selections for forms under the client
service screen. The (42) Color Forms works in conjunction with the
"Single Entry" process whereas the individual selections do not.
For more information on (42) Color Forms refer to page 4.43.1.
************************************************************
Some Acord data will automatically be filled in on your screen, such
as the client's name and address. Even more data will automatically
appear if policy information has been entered. Any data can be changed
by keying directly on top of the incorrect data.
The cursor will move from left to right. To move the cursor to a new
field you must HIT RETURN.
A backward slash and return entered at the beginning of a field
will move you to the bottom of a screen. If keyed directly on top of
data, this information will remain the same.
Upon reaching the bottom of a screen you are asked...
Is this correct (y,all,e,r,b)? Y (yes) and return takes you to the
next screen. N (no) and return allows you to go back to the top of
the screen for corrections. Hit return to move to the incorrect field
and key the correct data directly on top of the incorrect. Don't
forget, the backward slash is a shortcut to take you to the "correct"
message. ALL entered at the correct message ends input, skipping the
remaining pages, and going to the log sheet. E (exit) and return will
exit the Acord without saving it. R (refresh) will repeat the same
screen. B (back) will take you back one screen in the Acord.
After the last page of your acord has been input you will receive...
(y=update,n=don't store,p=print,l=laser,t=transmit)? Hit return to
store your Acord to the batch print file (see page 4.16.1 for
instructions on printing). N and return will not store the Acord to
the batch print file. You would use this selection to print
immediately and do not want your Acord to print out later from the
print file. P and return will allow you to print out your Acord
NP
immediately to plain paper. L and return will allow you to print out a
laser generated Acord form with your input information immediately
(see page 5.26.15 of the Word Processing section of your manual for
more information on laser generated Acords). T (transmit) is not in
use at this time.

leave these fields as they appear, or to change, key on top of the
inserted data. Hit return to skip any fields not needed. To input a
binder log screen the instructions are under the Binder Section on

PRINT FORMS USING PLAIN WHITE CONTINUOUS FEED PAPER
To print forms on plain paper, select the type of paper option
until the menu reads Use PLAIN paper. Next, look at the
type of printer shown on the menu. If this is not the type
of printer your printer number is, select this option. There
are six types of printers available for printing plain paper:
C Itoh, Mannesman Tally 440, Toshiba, C Itoh 815, Data South,
and Mannesman Tally. The first C Itoh is the 315 model.
The Prowriter cannot print plain paper forms and some versions
of the Data South and Mannesman Tally printers need to be
upgraded before they can print plain paper forms.!R!FONT39;EXIT;
WARNING: The process of printing plain paper forms is slow and
it also reduces the life expectancy of your printer. The printer
is required to do an enormous amount of work to print both form
information and input information in a readable format. Be
prepared to spend about seven minutes per page for a plain paper
acord form.!R!FONT37;EXIT;
The process from this point is similar to using pre-printed
forms. Select the form number you need to print.!R!FONT39;EXIT;
Do you want this form double struck?!R!FONT37;EXIT,E;
If you would like input information to appear twice as dark as form
information, enter Y. Double striking input information further
slows printing.!R!FONT39;EXIT;

PRINT USING LASER PRINTER - OLD OR NEW FORMS
!R!FONT37;EXIT;
Select the type of paper option until the menu reads
Use LASER paper. Select the Change font from X if the
font shown is not what you would like input information to
be printed in. Refer to your laser printer resident font list
to select an appropriate font. Select the Change from Cassette X
option if you would like to change to manual feed, cassette one
or cassette two. If you would like to receive a blank copy of
an acord form, select the Print a blank form on laser option
and enter the number of the form you need. If all the
menu options are shown correctly, proceed.

WARNING: There are a few key areas that may cause problems
with laser printing. Here are a few common difficulties:
!R!FONT37;EXIT;
a. Information prints on blank paper. No form information is
printed: Reload the laser printer and try again. Forms
have been inadvertantly deleted, probably by turning off the
laser printer or a power loss, and must be restored.
b. Some information is missing or printed in wrong area: Check
input information under Client Services. Verify that
there are no quotation marks or percentage signs anywhere
in the input information. If quotation marks (often used
as an abbreviation for inches) or percentage signs are
found, delete them or substitute other punctuation (i.e.
write out "percent" or use two apostrophes for quotation
marks). These two characters are reserved and may not
be used as input.
c. All information is misaligned or printing is condensed:
Under Utilities, do a standard setup of the laser printer.

TRANSACTIONAL FILING
Transactional filing is the filing of dec pages and other paper
documents by computer ENTRY DATE rather than customer number or name.
You have the capabilities of storing, retrieving, and printing the
information your Agency needs to function successfully without the
need for the staff to go to the paper files.
Prior to starting transactional filing, spend time getting everybody
prepared. Hold several automation meetings devoted to this topic. Let
everyone question the concept and work out objections. Develop new
workflow patterns and write procedures your Agency will use in
implementing, using, and managing the program.
You must remember to add every transaction into the computer,
otherwise you may never find needed information without going through
days of files. This is probably the most important point to stress to
any employee who will be adding information into the computer.
See Management Manual pages 2.28.1 and 2.28.2 for more information
on Transactional filing.

ALTERNATE BILLING ADDRESS
Setting up a client to alternate bill will enable an invoice to be
addressed to a location other than the address stored in the client
file, such as to a mortgage company. For endorsement purposes an
alternate address can be overridden when necessary. You are NOT
limited to one alternate address per client. The address used will be
determined by the policy number entered on the invoice.
To set up a client for alternate bill...
This is a one time step, unless the alternate bill routine needs to be
deleted or there is a change of status.
STEP 1
From the client's screen:
Your choice,p? Select 5 Gen info, under B=Account.
Press return to the Alt Bill field and enter one of the following
alternate bill codes.
0 = (zero or blank) Use the client's address for all invoices.
1 = (one) Based on the policy number of the invoice, uses the
mortgagee address stored in the detail record of the homeowner
policy information under client services.
If no address appears in the mortgagee field or a policy number
from the invoice is not found in the homeowner detail record,
the system will then search the alternate bill file looking for
a policy number match.
2 = (two) Based on the policy number of the invoice, uses the
address stored in the alternate bill file. Using a "2" will
NOT search for an address in the homeowner file at all.
STEP 2
To set up an alternate address...
This is a one time step, unless another alternate address needs to be
added, or a stored address needs to be modified, or deleted.
WHEN SETTING UP ALTERNATE ADDRESSES, KEEP IN MIND THE SYSTEM IS
GOING TO DETERMINE THE ADDRESS TO USE BASED ON THE POLICY NUMBER SET
IN THE HOMEOWNER DETAIL RECORD, OR ALTERNATE BILL FILE, TO THE POLICY
NUMBER USED DURING INVOICING. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE A CLIENT THAT HAS
THE SAME POLICY NUMBER ASSIGNED TO MORE THAN ONE LINE OF COVERAGE,
THEN THE ALTERNATE BILL POLICY NUMBER HAS TO BE UNIQUE.
For example: If the auto and homeowner policies are both assigned
HR6361010 as a policy number, make the alternate bill policy number
unique by changing the policy number to HR6361010-01, or
HR6361010 (HO). Be sure to use this unique policy number during
invoicing.
FOR CLIENT RECORDS THAT ARE SET TO CODE 0 IN THE ALT BILL FIELD:
An alternate address is not needed. The system will automatically use
the address stored in the client file.
FOR CLIENT RECORDS THAT ARE SET TO CODE 1 IN THE ALT BILL FIELD:
When adding, or modifying a homeowner policy under client services,
enter the mortgagee's billing address as follows.
Mortgagee= Enter the mortgagee's name or enter the
insured's name and loan number.
2 of 4 = Depending on what was entered on the first line
