| Related Categories |
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.
