Old News But Still PAINFULL!

The Renewals Process

 

Add-ons at Renewal

 

At renewal you can add new add-ons and/or renew existing add-ons.

On a live policy which has an add-ons frame and a current renewal transaction, you will be able to renew the add-ons by setting the policy Add-Ons field to "Yes" (even though it is already set to “Yes") and selecting the 'Renewal' option. This will be considered renewal processing in Core Back-Office, since the live policy is expected to have been created by a quote engine saving directly to the Core Back-Office rather than creating a prospect policy first.

 

I know this process years old now - but it still rankles that what was a 1 step process has become a non-intuitive multi-step hassle

Really?  Set it to "Yes" even though it's set to "Yes" already - wow - that was thought out really well.

 

Then not forgetting this is AFTER you have created the Renewal transaction ... In old money 

 

  1. Create transaction and associated charges and add-on (LE)

 

Now it's

 

  1. Create the transaction and any charge 
  2. Say "No" to Le if you have it switched in still even though you do want legal ....
  3. Go back and then Update Policy record (if you remember)
  4. Set the "Yes" to a "Yes"
  5. Select the Add-Ons wanted and then abandon them ...  (Exit)
  6. Then Say "Yes" to save

 

And don't get me started on the AE/AD/AF frame combos and all the additional document / frame / coding that needs to go with it

which-is--really-easy-in-Word-and-Ifs-and-also-Tables-work-well-across-Ifs-dont-they -

 

WHAT'S WRONG WITH A STATUS FLAG ON A SINGLE FRAME!!!!

 

Ok - I know it's more complex than that but the main point is - why not just pop the Add-On processing from the transaction create screen?

 

User Experience not good on this one is it - how on earth do you guys cope?! 

 

Sign of a poor UX is sign of a rushed job imho - #agileisnotisolation

 

Rant over - for now

    • Hi Claire,   We took on INVU back in 2008 and still use it today in its Virtual Cabinet guise. No issues with printing from VC whether that be to network printers or pdf and there are also options to send from VC to email which can be useful.    Overall, we remain very happy with VC so have seen no real advantage to move over to OpenAttach.   One little issue is we never managed to get the automatic indexing / filing of standard OGI/OpenWord letters and emails into VC. We just click a few buttons to file them manually.   Happy to chat through further if you wish - I will be at the Members day this coming Thursday    Darren
    • Hi @Clare Carter   I probably cant advise on day to day use / issues, but may be able to help although not sure of your question   Are you still on Virtual Cabinet (VC) and how are you trying to print on OGI - and what / where from   Also - I'm pretty sure there are minimal issues with transferring to OpenAttach - what are the concerns there?  
    • Just wondering if any of the current members have previously been using Virtual Cabinet, and which originally was Invu provided by Linden House.   It is only relatively recently that Open GI have come up with Open Attach but there is an issue in transferring data.   If anyone is still using Virtual Cabinet which evolved from Invu and Linden House, could they let me know whether they had any issues with Open GI and printing.    Thanks
    • Hi Andrew   I do have a copy - but you can get them / best to get latest copy from the support site - presumably you have a registered account??   Just go to the link here RMAR Reports and Spreadsheet   Any problems come back and let me know!
    • Hi   I am new to OGi and not sure how the system deals with the FCA required Client Money Calculation. A previous post mentioned a OGI PDF document detailing the reports to get the numbers and apparently there is a spreadsheet to input all the numbers as well.   Is anyone able to forward the PDF and spreadsheet or provide assistance please.   Thanks
