What's in this release?..

IMPORTANT ! This update changes the minimum Durell screen size from 800x600 to 1024x768, in order for more information to be displayed per screen. Please do not proceed with this update until you have checked your screens are suitable (which 99% should be). Some customers may have already received many of these developments via interim releases, however no-one will have received all the features in this latest update, some of which are crucial.

Loading time: approx 2 minutes

Version numbering: the first two numbers indicate the actual version, while the final one indicates minor revisions, which can largely be ignored. So if you find the update on our website has incremented to 6.6.43 or 6.6.44, etc, it'll probably just incorporate some further improvements.

For All users we've added a revised Complete Policy Register, which allows you to link Word templates to your product types and then easily print a client's entire policy register (via Reports / Client) . We've also added an option to select your own columns in the scrolling lists of Policies, Claims & Renewals (via the Binoculars pop-up in these programs). Finally we've added templates for Journal Entries in the accounts (e.g. for processing VAT) so that it's easier to consistently select the correct debit and credit accounts.

For our Life, Pension & Investment customers we’ve added the ability to get annuity quotes online from Webline and made a number of improvements to the Valuation reports.

For our General Insurance customers we've developed "Add-on" policies (via an "Add-on" button at the bottom right of the Premium screen) whereby standard policies (e.g. for Legal Expenses or Uninsured Loss Recovery) can be added to base policies with a couple of clicks, and then be included in their posting to accounts. Note that a template for each standard add-on policy must be set-up beforehand, via the existing Signpost option for Standard Answers. This update also includes a lot of important fixes for Insurecom-related motor and household policies.
