The Agency List is the place to go to best understand the relationship between your Accounts and Agencies.
To get started, as a Salesperson or a Manager, click on the Agencies link from the left navigation menu.
Options
Most options will exist within the Show Options section, but some are on the page itself.
Group Accounts by Agency and Salesperson – Enable this to see your Accounts grouped under the Agencies they are affiliated with and the Salespeople that are currently managing the relationship. When enabled, this will generally reduce the number of rows on screen while making it easier to see all the business affiliated with a single Agency. It is recommended to use this option when reassigning agencies and accounts.
Display by Market – When enabled, Agencies will additionally display with the market that they reside in. Note that this will generally increase the number of rows on your list but make it easier to see the breadth of business for any given agency.
Display Accounts by the latest Agency only – Accounts change agencies over time, and if you’ve done business with an account for a long period of time you’ve likely got a few different Agencies affiliated with it. This option allows you to only view the Agency List by the latest Agency/Account relationship to better see your current book of business. It is not recommended to use this option when reassigning agencies and accounts.
