The Policy category also referred to as Line of business. – Eg Home, Auto, Boat, BOP, etc. Usually, we sync up policy categories based on the policy categories mentioned for policies in Agency Management System. However, there are two situations when we may need additional categories.
- When new policy information is added to the portal of a current client or prospect, for which no corresponding policy category exists, then you have to add that category to your system.
- If you don’t have any Agency Management System and may not have an extensive list of policy categories, in your system, then you have to add that category to your system.
To create a new category type, follow the steps below.
- Login to your InsuredMine portal and navigate to the Categories from left panel
- Click on the Add Category button to add categories.
- An window will open where you need to put the category name
- Click on submit.
- Once successfully added, you can use it as a category in your deal-board cards and policies
The category list will include all the categories and the number of accounts, policies related to that category. You can also see the total premium amount under each category. Once the category list is updated/added, now you can add these categories either in deal Card (when creating a deal), in policy table view etc.
