Journal

Use journal entries to communicate with your business partners within the claim itself. This ensures critical communications are not lost in phone conversations and e-mail.

Using the journal for communication allows you to:

Access to journal entries is set to private (viewable only to insurance staff at the same company) by default, but you can change the visibility of an individual entry. Public entries are also accessible to affiliated shops and independent appraisers. You can also configure your default preference in the My Account window.

Note: After a journal entry has been saved, it is a permanent record and cannot be deleted.
