Processing and importing the download files from your insurance carriers is a simple process which has three stages:

  1. Download the files from the carriers to your computer/server.
  2. Import the download files into Newton.
  3. Address any Notes or Errors for downloads which did not silently process.

Download the Files From Your Insurance Carriers

There are a number of download manager programs, depending on which insurance companies the agency uses.

  • IVANS Transfer Manager
  • Team-UP Download
  • Progressive Plus
  • Mercury Downloader

Most files will be downloaded automatically to your computer/server through IVANS Transfer Manager.

For any download manager which does not run automatically, open each of the additional download managers to receive all files available from the company.

  5. If the Download Options are configured to Process files silently when performing immediate process, all policies with a matching number will process immediately without requiring user action. (Recommended)
  6. Review Pending Tab for items that require further attention.

Pending Tab: Address Any Notes or Errors

After importing the download files into newton, all items are loaded onto the Pending Tab.

If the Download Options are configured to Process files silently when performing immediate process, all policies with a matching number will process immediately without requiring user action. (Recommended)

Process the Download Pending Tab

Any policy download requiring additional action will remain on the Pending Tab.

  • If the Download Options are configured to Process files silently when performing immediate process, any policy number without an exact match will be placed on the Pending Tab with a Status: "Error: Cannot be Silently downloaded until policy XXXXXXXXX exists".
  • If the Download Options are not configured to Process files silently when performing immediate process, all policies will be placed on the Pending Tab with a Status: "Ready to process".
Any suspended download must be released before it can be processed. 
Right-Click -> Release this item or Right-Click -> Release All Suspended

Once the status notes and errors are addressed, select Process All... to process all Pending Tab items.

(Optionally, Right-Click -> Process This Item ... to process a single item.)
