  • A “simulated score” will be used to calculate the initial premium estimate.  This is achieved by the user selecting from a list of insurance score ranges and selecting the number of non-act of God losses experienced by the named insured.  The user must also check an insurance score acknowledgement in order to advance.  The insurance score range is defaulted in the portal to “Very Good” and the number of losses are defaulted in the portal to “0”.  (These fields are only displayed when State = Florida, Policy Type = HO3 or HO6, effective date of policy is on or after 8/15/2018)
  • We have added Prefix, Middle Name and Suffix to the list of fields used to capture the named insured and improve insurance score hits.  Agents are asked to ensure the proper legal name is entered at the time of quote.
  • The date of birth is now a required field in order to advance beyond the New Quote Details screen.  (This field is only displayed on the New Quote Details page when State = Florida, Policy Type = HO3 or HO6, effective date of policy is on or after 8/15/2018)
  • The social security number is displayed on the New Quote Details page.  Agents are encouraged to provide this information, but it is not required to run the score.  (This field is only displayed on the New Quote Details page when State = Florida, Policy Type = HO3 or HO6, effective date of policy is on or after 8/15/2018)
  • The ordering of the actual insurance score is achieved through a new button in the left hand sticky bar called “Order Reports” which also runs the Loss History Report.  This button is only enabled after the risk has been quoted using the simulated score. (This button is only displayed when State = Florida, Policy Type = HO3 or HO6, effective date of policy is on or after 8/15/2018
  • Prior address fields have been added to the New Quote Details page, Policy Applicant and Location Information section in both the quote phase and the application phase.  In the quote phase, this address is only displayed and required if the insured has lived at the current address less than 3 years.  In the application phase, it is always displayed but will be required if the insured has lived at the current address for less than 3 years.
  • If the Primary Named Insured information changes, users will be forced to reorder the reports.  (Applies to “Order Reports” button for insurance score policies and applies to “Order Loss History Report” for non-insurance score policies.)
  • Upon ordering reports, if any losses are found, the Loss History section will be displayed in the quote phase so that users can review any losses returned prior to advancing to the application.  *Note: This applies to insurance score policies only.  All other policies will still order the Loss History Report in the application phase.

• Possible Account Matches Page Improvements:
  This fix removes the users need to select “Continue as a New Customer” if no account matches are found during transition from Quote to Application. If none are found you will simply proceed to the application.
• Premium Message added to Transactions table:
  A message has been added above the Policy Transaction table indicating if the premium shown below does NOT include the “Step-down” premium. This appears on the policy service dashboard.
• Prior Address Fields Added:
  Prior address fields have been added to the Application.
• Removal of certain sub-topics when adding an Activity:
  This fix dealt with the subtopics listed when creating a new Activity. The list has been narrowed to include only specific topics in an effort to increase underwriting efficiency and effectiveness.
• Burglar Alarm Child Question- should be required:
  Burglar Alarm “Alarm Type” secondary question is now required in the quote phase.
• Policy Search- Pulling Wrong Effective Date in the search:
  This fix corrected the Policy Search functionality where previously a search would show the “transaction” effective date. Now the search results are based on the policy “effective” date.
• Allow Exact Name Searching of Policies and Quotes:
  This fix allows the user to search for a policy or quote by using only the first 3 characters of the First/Last name or Company Name. This fix is intended to improve performance by narrowing the search results.

• MSB Button: Fixed issue that caused the MSB button to display on the page twice.
• Country Field: Fixed issue that was causing the country field to display in the risk location fields when the insured type was LLC, Corp or Other.  The Country field no longer displays.
• Activity Assignment Enhancement: Users can now assign Activities directly to underwriting from the Unassigned inbox.
• Quote/Submission Documents: Agents can now view documents uploaded to a quote. This includes documents uploaded by the agency as well as documents uploaded by underwriting.
• Verify Address Fix: Fixed issue that was causing the address verification of the mailing address to be lost which resulted in the user having to verify the address again.
• Activity Email Preference: Fixed issue that was intermittently blocking the Activity Notification email from being sent to the agent portal user.
• Bite History / Required Field Fix: Updated the portal to require the bite history question to be answered when the parent question (animals or exotic pets) is answered “yes”.   If this field is missed, the portal will prompt the user to complete the missing field.
• Quote and Policy Display Enhancement: The named insured’s first and last name will now appear in the left-hand menu of the quote and application, as well as the policy and quote dashboard screens.  This allows the user to easily identify the policyholder.
• Quote, Application & Declaration Page Document Issue: Fixed an issue that intermittently caused the agency phone number to be missing from specific documents (named above).
• Miscellaneous Policy Change Quote Fixes: Corrected several issues with the policy change quote letter.
• NC HOW Underwriting Rule for Asphalt Shingles > 20 years: Fixed an issue that was preventing the underwriting issue from being triggered at bind.  With this fix, the system will prompt the user to submit the risk to underwriting for approval if the roof is greater than 20 years old.
• Renewal Billing with Policy Change: Fixed an issue that was preventing the renewal down payment from updating after a policy change.  With this fix, as long as the renewal reminder has not gone out to the policyholder, any changes made to the policy will be updated on the renewal bill.
• Commission Statement Download Issue (commission users only): Fixed an issue that intermittently caused the commission statement to error out when clicked by the user.
• Address Verification Criteria Enhancement: Added new parameters for address verification that will result in higher success with address verification and prefilling of territory, BCEG and Protection Class.

• NC HO3 vs. NC HOW version fixes: These fixes address issues that were causing the system to pull a “Wind Only” quote when an HO3 quote was desired.  It also addresses an issue where NC HO3 quotes were converted to “Wind Only” quotes.
• Renewal Reminder Document Display: This fix addresses an issue that was intermittently preventing the renewal reminder document from displaying in the agent and customer portals.
• Pending Cancellation Message: This fix ensures users can clearly see when a policy is in “Pending cancellation” status. A message is now boldly displayed in the policy dashboard.
• Payment Plan Change Preview fix: This fix addresses a problem that was causing the pay plan change preview feature in the agent and insured portal to display an incorrect schedule on policies with the paired Stepdown Deductible policy.
• Activities “Assign To” enhancement: Disabled the “Assign to” functionality when adding a note to an activity that is assigned to any underwriting queue or underwriting team member.   This prevents the user from mistakenly reassigning activities that are pending underwriting work/action.
• Exceptions resubmit issue: Fixed and issue that was causing exception quotes to require underwriting approval a second time.  As long as the user does not change any padlocked fields, the user should not have to resubmit to underwriting.  This will improve ease of use for the exceptions process.
• Completed Activities Fix: This fix addresses an issue that was causing completed activities to be stuck in the “Unassigned” queue.
• Policy Search for Company insured types: This fix addresses and issue that was preventing policy search by company name.
• Miscellaneous improvements to performance have been implemented. Additional fixes are being researched and developed as an ongoing effort to improve performance.
• Policy Change Quote Letter Fix: Corrected display of prorated premium shown in the quote letter.
• Earthquake Coverage Masonry Veneer Exclusion default changed to “YES” instead of “NO”. This means that the system default will exclude coverage for masonry veneer.

• Removal of Default Versions: This widely requested enhancement removes the default “less coverage”, “most popular” and “more coverage” defaults.  Users are still able to create and compare multiple versions, however the system suggested versions will no longer display.  This will also improve the performance of the load time for the coverage section.
• Filter of Activities Based on Security Type: This enhancement will filter the activities which agent users can see. E., internal underwriting workflow activities will no longer display in the agent portal.
• Canceled Status Indicator: This enhancement improves the visibility of the status of the policy when in canceled status. The indicator will now be displayed in a global level and can be viewed from any policy dashboard screen.
• Billing Status of “In Good Standing” Fix: This field was causing confusion over the status billing vs. the status of the policies and has been removed from the billing tile. Instead, we have added the global policy status indicator as mentioned in the previous bullet point.
• International Mailing Address: This enhancements gives agents the ability to enter a foreign address in the mailing address field for the first and second named insured.
• Animal Liability, Inflation Guard, Refrigerated Personal Property, and Theft Coverage Fixes: This bug fix addresses the issues that prevented agents from quoting the above mentioned coverage without assistance from underwriting. Agents can now select these options and will not need underwriting assistance to do so.
• Policy and Activity Search Performance: This enhancement provides significant improvements to the home page and activity page load times as well as the overall speed of policy search.
• Invoice Preview Visibility Logic: This bug fix applies logic to when the “preview invoice” button can be clicked. The preview invoice can now only be accessed only until the first installment on a policy has been sent to the insured.  This tool is intended for agent users to provide an invoice immediately after binding a new policy and can now be accessed from the new business bind confirmation page and the policy dashboard billing documents section.
• Submit to Underwriting for Policy Change Exceptions: This fix addresses a problem that prevented agents from submitting exception policy changes to underwriting during a policy change.  The “Submit to Underwriting” process now follows that of an exception quote, however if approved, underwriting will also bind the change for the agent.
• NC HO3 Deductible Options: This bug fix addresses the missing deductible options for NC HO3.
• Trusts and Additional Insureds Printing on Application: This is a document mapping fix that will now allow for trusts and additional insureds to print on the application.
• Roof Year for NC Risks: The maximum roof age for an architectural shingle roof has been corrected in the system to 25 years instead of 20.
• Roof Year Underwriting Rule Trigger: This fix will now ensure that the underwriting issue does not trigger until the roof age is “greater than” the max roof age instead of “greater than or equal to” the max roof age.

• Fixed issue that was causing quote search to fail. This fix also improves the speed of the quote search. Note: Policy Search improvements are also being done and will come in a later release.
• Fixed issue that was causing the Stepdown Deductible Credit % and Limit to be missing from the quote letter. This information is now correctly displayed on the quote letter.
• Completed a fix relating to policy rewrites; particularly for effective date changes. Rewrites can now be done using the same policy number instead of a new policy number.
• Enhancement: Added the “Underwriting Contact Email” to the agency information screen that is used by Frontline internally. This email address will be used for the delivery of the agency daily notification report that is currently being tested. ETA on the automated email report completion TBD.
• Fixed issue that was preventing mortgage company loan number changes from being saved.
• Fixed issue that was preventing a mortgage company with a PO Box or unverified address from being saved.
• Fixed issue that was preventing use of the inline mortgage change functionality in the Frontline Pro Portal. The issue was causing the selection box next to the mortgage company to be unresponsive to clicks.
• Fixed issue that was causing only the first page of multi-page TIF format documents to display in the Portal. This issue was mostly impacting the inspection document. The entire document is now viewable.
• Fixed issue that was causing the 2nd named insured not printing on the following documents: Cancellation, Reinstatement, Non-Renewal and mailer pages.
• Enhancement: An activity will automatically be created and assigned to underwriting any time reinstatement or repair documents are uploaded. The user must select these doc types from the doc type drop down list in the portal in order for this functionality to work correctly.
• Enhancement: A warning message has been added to the POS2 system payment button in an effort to prevent payments from being made through the old system for policies that have renewed in the new system. In addition, a message is displayed in the POS2 policy screen that informs user of the Frontline Pro renewal.

• • Wind Loss Reduction / “Wind Mit” Document – We have now customized the behavior for when this document is required, based on the year built.
  • Flood Document – This is no longer required to upload.  However, this document must be maintained in agency file per underwriting guidelines.

• Resubmitting Exceptions
  Fixes issue on exception quotes, where after being reviewed by underwriting non-premium impacting fields were shown as locked down in the application phase. When users would unlock the application to change these fields they would have to resubmit the policy to underwriting despite having done so previously.
