 New Feature - Producer Codes

The latest update to The Agency Advantage introduces a way to track policy commissions for both the CSR and the Producer. Policy activities now include a section for Producer. CSR and Producer commissions are calculated from the agency commission depending on their individual percentage rates.

This will be useful in an agency where there may be more than one Producer or a situation where both CSR and Producer need to have commission on a policy. For more information see our support article on Producer Codes.

 

 Mandatory Update in August

It's that time again! Some of you may have noticed the version update message when you login to The Agency Advantage.

To get the latest update, go to Utilities and then Internet Update. You will want to Check for Internet Update. When it says there is one available, you want to download the update, and finally install it.

You will need to install the update on each computer. After you download it once, you don't have to download it again. Simply open The Agency Advantage on the next workstation and it will prompt you to install the new version.

A couple tips to help your update process:

  • Everyone needs to be out of the program.

  • Update the computers one at a time. When one is finished, move to the next computer.

For detailed instructions on how to install the update visit our support site.
