unit, or only producers with a license of a license type that is no

Warning
Results of the Producer
Licenses Inquiry may contain unmasked, full Social Security Number
information for individual producers. It is not possible to configure
the system to mask or hide these values in the report results. However,
using a security role setting, a user with administrator permissions
may deny other users the permission to run this inquiry or view inquiry
results requested by other users. For more information, see Maintain
Security Role. Also, identities of users who access Social Security
Number information in Producer Manager are recorded in Data
Access Logs. For more information, contact your Vertafore Sircon
representative.
Notes
Note: The Producer Licenses
Inquiry reports license information only as recorded in your company's
instance of Producer Manager. It does not verify license information directly
with state records. However, if your company is using Producer Manager's
automated data reconciliation utilities (such as Scheduled
Syncs) to keep producer license data refreshed continually, the Producer Licenses Inquiry report
results should be synchronized with state records.
Note: By default the maximum number of licenses included in report
results is 5,000. If the number of licenses meeting the current report
criteria exceeds the limit, the Submit
Offline button is disabled. Revise your report criteria selections
to generate the report. (The limit may be Vertafore-configured in your
company's deployment of Producer Manager to allow a non-default maximum,
using the MAX_PRODUCER_LICENSES_OFFLINE_REPORT_SIZE business rule. A non-default
limit may incur additional charges. For more information, see Configuration
Options or consult your Vertafore representative.)
Note: By default
the maximum number of licenses included in online or "on-demand"
report results is 500. If the number of licenses meeting the current report
criteria exceeds the online limit, the View/Refresh
Report button is disabled. If the number does not exceed the default
or configured overall limit, you may generate the report offline by clicking
the Submit Offline button. (The
online limit may be Vertafore-configured in your company's deployment
of Producer Manager to allow a non-default maximum, using the MAX_PRODUCER_LICENSES_ONLINE_REPORT_SIZE
business rule. A non-default limit may incur additional charges. For more
information, see Configuration
Options or consult your Vertafore representative.)
Tips
Use the Show Historical
checkbox as filter criteria to generate a list of producers in the system
whose license
information currently contains inactive or historical license types
(classes) in a selected state. You then may perform an automated data
reconciliation operation (such as Quick
Sync Producer) on the listed producer records to update the license
information with the state's currently supported license types.
If your company's configuration of the Sircon Platform includes
the Producer Express Bulk Appointment Processing capability, with minimal
data manipulation you may use the spreadsheet results of the Producer
License Inquiry as the basis for a bulk appointments data file.
For more information, see Sircon
Producer Express Bulk Processing Module User Guide.
