AMS360 2023 R3 Release Notes

This feature allows the user to select "All," ("Select Multiple"), "Handwritten," or a single specific type of allowed check payment for the chosen bank, while making a selection for a default-allowed check payment type.

This feature allows the user to save the default check payment type that was set up from the Bank Center, which occurs when a user creates a Direct Bill Deposit and a Direct Bill Deposit Receipt.

[Idea: AMS360-I-2975]

Check-boxes have been added for the following types of Journal Entries: AJE, BJE, IJE, LJE, RJE, VJE, YJE, and ZJE, in the Financial Centers Journal Entry View options; this allows the user to filter and view only the types selected.

[Idea: AMS360-I-1806]

Click on a Customer. You will see the button on the right side of the banner containing the Customer name.

When you click on the "Additional Customer Info" button, a pop-up will appear that displays the information previously entered into the "Additional Customer Info Form" section.

[Idea: AMS360-I-1049]

Click on a Customer and go to the "Customer Overview" section; you will see a "Dependents" section.

When you click on the arrow to expand the Dependents section, you will see an "Additional Info" icon plus the name and relationship of the Dependent to the selected Customer. When you click on the "Additional Info" icon, a pop-up will appear that displays the information previously entered into the "Dependent" section.

[Idea: AMS360-I-1309]

In the "View Options / Match On" section, the item titled, "Automatically open single customer search result" has been enhanced. When this is checked, the user can search for a customer via their name, account, or claim number, or from the drop-down menu next to "More."

Customer/Policy Assignment: Assigning Multiple Accounting Transactions to Same Customer

If multiple accounting transactions exist for the same policy, a prompt will now appear that simultaneously allows all transactions to be assigned to the same customer and policy.

[Idea: AMS360-I-1248]

All invoice-related grids have been transitioned to the ListViewEX version. This work is ongoing and represents our continuing effort to update WinForms. This enhancement will also improve performance.

Users may now designate a newly created payee or an already created payee as the "Primary" payee.

The Checks to Approve view lets users who possess check approval access see all checks that are awaiting approval for all banks, all in a single view. This new feature reduces downtime, since users need not visit each bank's listing and open its register view.

If a user has "No Access" in the Security Center — Task: Actions New Check: All Checks — OSC (Outsourced Check) in the Check Group, that user will receive an AMS360 validation message telling them they need to reach out to their administrator to give them "Full Access" to OSC check types.

When a user attempts to set up recurring checks and does not have a standard as the "Allowed Check Type," the user will see the following validation message, "Recurring checks are only available for banks set up with standard check payment types."

In the Personal Injury Protection section in the AMS360 UI (User Interface) for Business Auto LOB, the Symbol 2 check-box is added to the Personal Injury Protection section in the Business Auto winform. Additionally, Symbol 2 has been added to the Covered Auto Symbols PIP section on the Policy Dec page, plus on the Policy Dec Printer page.

Numerous changes have been made, including the addition of new ACORD forms and the removal of older versions of various forms.

To prevent the saving of a duplicate record, users will now receive a warning that the item in question is already found on the Agency Master prior to performing the Save function.

Users can now specify a "From" date, which limits the number of transactions that are pulled into the statement.

Users can now filter unassigned transactions based on the IVANS mailbox from which the items were received.

A new column in both the customer / policy assignment and the direct bill statement assignment grids shows the short name of the employee assigned in a transaction row. In addition, a new application lock is created when an assignment row has either been edited or deleted; this prevents other users from duplicating assignment efforts.

Certificates 25 & 30: Named Insured Selection

Users now have the option to select the "Named Insured" from a drop-down menu that includes all "First Named Insured" and "Commercial Supplemental Names" from all policies attached to the certificate.

A new report has been added to the MAR database where users can access activity data, including appended items.

• The Customer / Policy Extract report will include new columns for:

• Parent Company

• Writing Company

• Bill Type (Agency Bill or Direct Bill)

• Policy Sub-Type (Policy, Submission or Service Agreement)

There are a number of changes to the “Undelivered Notification Messages” form. These changes offer greater user customization and autonomy to deal with undelivered notifications.

No user intervention is required to turn off broken notifications. Broken or unused notifications will be shut off after two weeks, rather than offering the potential for blocking notification queues whenever a large global change is applied.

A new functionality has been added to the “Notification Service Setup” form to provide functionality that allows users to specify the recipient to continue to block notification messages until acknowledged, or else allow a single re-try (after five seconds). The blocked message will now be deleted if not acknowledged and not delivered after one attempt.

An updated pop-up message, with more details about the blocked notification recipients, is displayed when users log into AMS360 (if there are any blocked notifications).

This message displays the details regarding how many days remain before a notification recipient will be disabled, if notifications continue to be blocked for the recipient. This message is displayed when Administrator is logged into AMS360.

Clicking OK takes you to Administration center in AMS360. Clicking "Cancel" will dismiss the notification until the next time the Administrator logs in.

A new field has been added in the Basic Policy Information section of the policy to show the number of renewals on a policy.

The personnel section has been made into an individual section, which is located between "Basic Policy Information" and "First Named Insured" within the policy. This section can be accessed without first expanding the Basic Policy Information section.

Commissions, as well as the Personnel edit link, have been separated out and secured behind a hyperlink in the "Policy Personnel" section.

All winforms have been updated to a more modern version. No functionality has been changed; this involves visual updates only.
