This page provides an overview of the Client Tab that displays when a customer is loaded from the User Dashboard Tab, or through the Client Keyword Search, Policy Keyword Search, or Named Insured Keyword Search.

The Main Menu, User Dashboard Tab, Client Tab, Policy Dashboard, Policy & Billing, Company Tab, Vendor Tab, and Management Tab are the primary interfaces and dashboards within Newton.


Find a Client

A Client Tab is created by using one of the following methods

Multiple client tabs can be opened at the same time, similar to tabs in a browser. When an operator is finished with a client, the client tab can be closed entirely.

Find a Client by Number

The Client Keyword Search is the primary method for loading clients, however a client can also be found by entering the client number. From the main menu select Client -> Add Tab to create a new empty tab. Enter the client number in the client selection drop-down box and press <Enter> or <TAB> when finished.

By default, inactive clients are not included in the drop-down list. To load an inactive client by number, first select the "Include Inactive Clients" check box.

Create a Client

To enter a new client or prospect into Newton, you should always search existing clients first to avoid creating duplicates. Remember to include inactive clients.

Client Tab Interface

The client tab contains client information such as contact numbers and client type, and data tabs for different data types. The client sub-tabs are Client Dashboard, Accounting, Forms, Download, History, and Invoices.

The main menu is not specific to the Client Tab, displayed at the top of the Newton window.
