Insured documents

You can upload and manage insured-related documents on the Insured documents page.

The documents are divided into groups:

• Forms (ACORDs and Supplementals);
• Loss Runs (except LossRunner, as this functionality is only available on the Loss Runs page);
• Quotes (except for quotes uploaded on the Quote request page);
• Policies (except for policy documents added on the Documents page for quote requests and policies or the Policy page).
• Other Documents (Other, ExMod Sheet, Notice of Cancellation, Declaration Page, Resume/Bio, SL-2, Statement of Values, D-1 ).

You can upload documents by clicking Upload files (Choose files if the page is empty) or dragging and dropping them onto the page.

This will open the Document Markup editor. There, you can provide information about this document: choose its Type, edit its File Name, and add Notes.

To edit the document, click (Edit). This will open the Document Markup editor.

Each document also has a menu with the following actions:

• Send by email. Opens the Send Email window, from where you can email the document to specified recipients.

• Move. Opens the Move document dialog, using which you can move the document to another insured, quote request, or policy.

• Delete. Deletes the document after you confirm it in a dialog.
