The Policy Express dashboard mirrors the look and functionality of the [[Client Tab|client basic tab]], [[Dashboard Tab (User)|user dashboard]], [[Company Tab|company dashboard]], and [[Management Tab|management dashboard]].  The Policy Express dashboard now opens as a full screen tab by default, similar to tabs in a web browser.  Optionally, a [[Preferences#User_Options|user option to open Policy Express as a window, instead of a tab]] is still available.
 
 
 
== Policy Express: Overview ==
 
The interface includes:
 
*A [[#Policy Express: Top Toolbar|top toolbar]] for efficient access to [[:Category:Policy Tasks|Policy Tasks]] such as renewals, endorsements, and cancellations.
 
*Multiple tabs for rich content such as [[#Policy Express: Forms Tab|ACORD Forms]], and company [[#Policy Express: Download Tab|Download data]].
 
*[[#Policy Express: Dashboard|Multiple expandable bands on each tab to organize content]].
 
*Intelligent information panels.

:[[File:Polexp-poltasks.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Batch Send:''' [[File:Polexp-batchsend-icon.png]] Previously named "Batch Print", [[Batch Send|'''Batch Send''']] provides a single interface to send [[:Category:ACORD Forms|ACORD Forms]], [[:Category:Memo Writer|Memos]], [[Attachment Integration|Attachments]] and more to either [[Email Integration|email]], fax, printer, or [[MyInsuranceDashboard.com Integration|My Insurance Dashboard]].
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-batchsend.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Add Form:''' Create a new [[:Category:ACORD Forms|ACORD form]] by selecting any form from the library, or use the shortcuts for '''Auto ID''' or '''Certificate'''.  To open a previously created form, see the '''[[#Policy Express: Forms Tab|Forms Tab]]'''.
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-newform.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Note:''' [[File:Polexp-note-icon.png]] Create a permanent policy note that will display in the '''Activity Band''' in both Policy Express, and the [[Client Tab|client basic tab]].  Optionally select '''Set as policy bulletin''' to set the note as the current '''Policy Bulletin''', displayed initially at the bottom of the '''[[#Policy_Express:_Dashboard|Policy Express -> Dashboard]]''' tab.
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-policynote.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Express Billing:''' Opens the [[Express Billing]] interface for the most recent transaction on a policy.  Express Billing is the primary interface for creating and modifying invoices on a policy.
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-expressbilling.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Client Payment:''' [[Client Payment (disambiguation)|Create a client payment]] for [[:Category:Invoice|agency bill or direct bill]] policies, and provides access to the [[Cash Payment Fee Wizard]].
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-clientpayment.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Agency Fee:''' Creates a [[Agency_Fee_Wizard|100% agency commission invoice]], that must be attached to an existing invoice.  For additional fee options, use the [[Cash Payment Fee Wizard]] available within the client payment interface.

'''Policy View:''' [[File:Polexp-policyview-icon.png]] Opens the [[Policy_View|policy view web browser]] and automatically enters the credentials for the [[Company Profile|company]] assigned to the policy.  Selecting policy view also automatically copies the policy number to the clipboard.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Search:''' Similar to the client basic tab search, searching within Policy Express will provide results from the Activity Band, Email Band, and Attachment Band.
 
 
 
:[[File:Polexp-search.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
'''Show Pane / Hide Pane:''' [[File:Polexp-pane-icon.png]] Enables or disables the bottom preview pane on the '''Dashboard''' tab.  The preview pane displays additional information about a selected item, such as a policy transaction or an activity.

If an existing '''[[Form Bundle]]''' has been previously saved to the policy, a link for '''View Current Form Bundle (Risk)''' will be listed.  Selecting the link will open the current '''Form Bundle''' window, which can also be accessed from the [[#Policy_Express:_Forms_Tab|Forms Tab]].
 
 
 
 
 
'''Dashboard: Policy Bulletin:'''
 
 
 
The Policy bulletin is a single policy activity note highlighted to display automatically by default when Policy Express is opened.  The bulletin can be modified by making a new activity and selecting '''Set as policy bulletin''', or started from a previously saved policy activity note.
 
 
 
The bulletin is automatically displayed for all users, even if the preview pane is disabled.  When an area within Policy Express is selected, the bulletin will either switch to the preview pane, or disappear.
 
 
 
The policy bulletin also displays on the policies list as a tooltip if the mouse pointer is moved over the displayed policy number.
