Certificate / Holder Selection Page

The Certificate / Holder Selection Page is for ACORD 24 Certificates, and ACORD 25 Certificates. It displays the Certificate grid; it is the "hub" for all Certificates activity. You can begin all Certificate activity here, including starting the Certificate Wizard.

All references to “older certificates”, “Master MS certificates” and “Master Print (MP) certificates” refer only to the ACORD 25 Certificate, not to the ACORD 24 Certificate.

Master Print (MP) certificates can only be viewed or printed. They cannot be Attached, Updated, Reissued or Revised. If an MP certificate is selected for any of these Attach, the error, Master Print (MP) may not be attached to is displayed. If an MP is selected for Update, the error, Master Print Certificate may not be updated will display. If an MP is selected for Reissue or Revision, the error, You may only View or Print this older certificate version will display.

From this page, you can work with both Active and Archived certificates. Most certificate tasks, such as adding a new certificate, or attaching, updating, reissuing, reprinting, revising, or archiving existing certificates and Certificate templates begin here.

The Certificate grid on this page lists Certificate Templates, older Master (MS) Certificates, older Master Print (MP) certificates, and 'blank' certificates.

The Template Description column displays the mandatory "Template Description” that you must complete on the ACORD Certificate Policy Selections Page -- Policies Tab as part of the Certificates Wizard. For older certificates, this column may display the text, '---Master Certificate---.'

From this page, you can:

  • View certificates;
  • Display certificates associated with the certificate record selected;
  • Display associated policies for the selected certificate;
  • Print a schedule of certificates;
  • Access the Certificate Wizard to add certificates;
  • Print a Description of Operations Detail for ALL certificates;
  • Print an AOI/Holder Listing for the certificate;
  • Attach AOI/Holders to the selected certificates;
  • Update, revise, reissue, or reprint the selected record;
  • Archive or delete certificates; and
  • View, unarchive, or delete archived certificates.

To access the Certificate / Holder Grids

  1. Look up and load the client associated with the certificates.
  2. On the Client Primary Navigation, click FORMS >ACORD 24 Certificates or ACORD 25 Certificates. The Certificate / Holder Grids appear.

Certificate / Holder Selection page has two grids

The Certificate / Holder Selection page is divided into two grids. The grid on the left remains static, while the grid on the right changes based on the row selected from the grid on the left. The grids are:

  1. Left side: Certificate templates grid and
  2. Right side: Holders or Policies grid based on the following
    1. CERTIFICATES/AOIs Attached to Selected Certificate Template if Show is set to Attached Holders; or
    2. Policies Attached to Certificate Template, if Show is set to Associated.

The Certificates Templates grid displays the certificates associated with the client currently selected. Those include current Certificate Templates, older Master Prints (MP), Master Certificate Holder (MS), and individual certificates. Think of this grid as the main grid.

If a Template was created using the Reissue, Revise, or Update process, a suffix appears at the end of the template description on the grid, to identify the process that created the Template Certificate. If the Template Description field is already full, then the last four characters are replaced by the appropriate suffix. Suffixes are as follows:

  • REI (for Reissue)
  • REV (for Revise)
  • UPD (for Update)

If a template description with a suffix is "maxed out (filled), and the template is reissued, revised, or updated again, a new suffix overwrites the old. For example, if a template is reissued, it has the suffix REI. If the same template is revised, and the description is
