This page provides an overview of the Policy Keyword Search for Newton by Agency Systems. The Policy Keyword Search is the primary method for loading clients by policy number, however there are many other ways to load a client tab.

A Client Tab is created by using one of the following methods

• Client Keyword Search
• Policy Keyword Search
• Named Insured Keyword Search (GA)
• Main Menu -> Client -> Add Client Tab
• User Dashboard Tab: Right-Click -> Open client
• Client Dashboard -> Related Clients

Multiple client tabs can be opened at the same time, similar to tabs in a browser.
