The Client Query Wizard offers a host of user-defined filters to find a list of clients which meet either a broad or narrow set of criteria. The list of clients can be based solely on client profile details such as address, client type, or birthday, or can also include powerful policy filters such as type of business, or policy effective/expiration dates.

Any of the five report options can output to a number of printable reports including mailing labels, a spreadsheet file for use in Microsoft Excel, or output directly to a Memowriter document for mass mailing.

Access and Window Options

The Client Query Wizard can be opened by selecting Marketing -> Query Wizard.

Access to the Client Query Wizard is controlled through the security system Marketing -> Client Query -> View setting.

Form Letter

The Form Letter output provides a mechanism to output the list of clients directly to a form letter template created with Memowriter for mass mailing.

During the process, the client information is merged into the letter based on the user-defined merge codes. If the form letter includes policy detail merge codes, one of the four policy detail client queries should be used.

The Client Query Wizard will prompt the user to select the form letter.
