Status Types are used to track the status of the claim and can be used in conjunction with Alerts to notify users of certain instances within a claim.

Status Types can be created in Settings and in Client Companies. Status Types created in Settings will apply to all Client Companies; Status Types created in Companies will be specific to the Client they are set up for. This article will review how to set up Claim Status Types that can be applicable to any or all Client Companies.

FileTrac will set up a few standard status types. You can edit or delete these if they are not needed. If you are using XactAnalysis, you will want to match the Status Types with those in XactAnalysis.
