Adding New Users

Understanding everything you need to know on how to add and set up a brand new user in your system.

Overview

Admin Users will have access to your company's entire FileTrac system and will be able to create new user profiles. It is important when setting up New Users to determine what type of access the User should have. Before getting started you will want to get familiar with the access allowed for each User Role.

Please click on the links below to review each role's access levels.

Adding New Users

1. Click on the Personnel Manager tab on the top bar.

2. Then click on the Add New User Symbol found on the right of the screen.

The 'Add New User' page will open.

The blue bar along the left allows you to jump to a specific section on the page.

3. Fill out the form and complete as many fields as possible. DO NOT USE QUOTATIONS MARKS WHEN ENTERING INFORMATION INTO A FIELD. Fields with a red asterisk (*) are required fields.

Contact Details

Most fields are self-explanatory.

-FileTrac Role: Choose the user role based on the access level you wish to give them. You can change a user's access level via this drop-down at any time.

See below for additional field details:

-Phone: If you wish to send text messages from the FileTrac system to the user's mobile phone, be sure to mark the box 'Mobile Number'.

-Address Information: Uncheck the box if you do not want the company address to default for the user. You will then be able to enter the user's address.

User Notes

Notes added here can be seen by anyone with access to the Personnel Manager page. Additionally, notes added here for a 'ClaimsRep' can be seen by the ClaimsRepMgr for that Client and anyone assigned to a claim with that ClaimsRep user.

FileTrac Settings

-Branch: Assigning the user to a Branch will allow them to access the claims that are assigned to that branch. Refer to the previous links for 'Employee User Roles and Access' and 'Client User Roles and Access' to review the roles that can "Access all claims in a specific branch".

-Can Login To FileTrac: Check this box if this user will be allowed to log in to your FileTrac system

-Designations: Select all that apply

-XactNET Address, Symbility ID: Include these items if your company has an XactAnalysis or Symbility Bridge with FileTrac

-Adjuster ID: This will populate on some billing exports such as the Ledes 2000. If no number is entered, the userID will be the default on these exports (see below):

-Type of Assignment Notifications:

  • No Notifications- the user will not receive any notifications.

  • No Details- alerts the adjuster of a new claim in FileTrac

  • Brief- includes insured (and claimant if applicable) details and basic loss information

  • Detailed- includes complete information about the loss

-Max Workload: For use with the Adjuster Workload Alerts. Set a max workload to receive an alert when a user has reached their maximum for open claims.

-User HOVER creation status:

  • Cannot create HOVERs- User will not see the HOVER Icon next to their claims nor will they be able to send a request for a HOVER. If the user wants to request a HOVER, they will need to contact an administrator.

  • Can create approval required HOVERs- User will see the Hover Icon next to their claims and they will be able to send up the request and take the photos within the app; however, they will not be able to order the report. This will require approval by someone designated within your company.

  • Full HOVER access- User will be able to order Hover reports without any approval required.

Ratings, Skills, Licenses, and Certifications

To enter information into these fields, click on either the corresponding box or the '+Add New' button. Once the Years of Experience is entered for the selected items, it will automatically accrue from the date the user was first setup in FileTrac.

For the Rating, Skills, Licensing and Certification Sections- if you do not see any options to select (or the +Add New button is missing) these sections will need to be configured on the Settings page by an Admin User.
