Agency Profile Fields

Each Agency Profile contains three different tabs.

Basic Info

The first tab contains the Agency Name, and Agency Address. This information will display at the top of the Newton system, and on any printed reports.

The Agency Type can be configured as a Retail, MGA, or a Test agency. A test agency's financial transactions are not included in combined financial reports for all agencies such as the Balance Sheet, and Income & Expense report.

Form/Numbering Setups

The second tab contains print options for invoices and statements, and print formats for invoices and checks.
