Notes
Note: Producer Manager can be Vertafore-configured to erase information about regulatory actions from a PDB report retrieved as part of an automated data reconciliation. When the business rule is set, the system will erase the Regulatory Actions section from the PDB report before saving it to the affected producer’s record. This will prevent users from seeing this information when viewing the report. A PDB report that was retrieved and stored before the system is configured to support this enhancement still will show the regulatory action information. For more information, see Configuration Options.
Note: As of June 2011, the Sircon States report that formerly contained course completion information is no longer available, although existing Sircon States reports generated prior to this date will remain in the system. Beginning in June 2011, the Education Report contains all course completion information obtained from any external source.
Note: A ClearCert Report is available only if your company is a ClearCert subscriber and also subscribes to the Vertafore third-party certification integration service. For more information, consult your Vertafore representative.
