Diary
See Diary for additional details.
Diaries are simple follow-up or to-do items that display on the assigned operator's Dashboard Tab based on the suspense date. A diary can be used for simple inter-office communication, action items on policies, or can be created automatically by common policy tasks or Download Alerts.
A diary can be created from the Client Dashboard Tab, Policy Express, Download Alerts, the Company Tab, or the Vendor Tab.
Although a diary is commonly associated with a specific policy, a diary can also be saved to a client without a policy, or directly to an operator for inter-office communication.
