Overview
FileTrac allows individual supervisors and/or reviewers to be assigned as a default supervisor or reviewer for either an entire company or on a claim-by-claim basis. You also have the option to assign a supervisor and/or reviewer to an individual. By taking advantage of these user duties, you can better manage the claims and setup alerts to know as soon as a claim is ready for review, if it has been sent back for revisions or the claim has been approved.
Supervisor/Reviewer System Setup
The first step in understanding how this process will work is understanding the designations for a Supervisor and Reviewer followed by understanding the alerts that should be assigned to each. The Reviewer is responsible for reviewing the file once the adjuster has uploaded the claim and the Supervisor will manage the Reviewers and/or the Adjusters.
The instructions below will walk you through setting up a user as either a supervisor or reviewer, setting up alerts and which alerts should be assigned to each user and how to review claims from the alerts page in FileTrac.
Step 1: Designate a User as a Supervisor or Reviewer.
A user must be given the designation or they will not appear in the drop-down list to assign them to another user, a company or a claim.
- Click on Personnel Manager and locate the person you want to designate as a Supervisor or Reviewer.
- Click on the blue link for the user’s name to open their profile.
3. Click to jump to the FileTrac Settings section
4. Click the box for Supervisor and/or Reviewer.
5. Click the Save & Close button.
Step 2: Setup the Alerts.
- Navigate to the Personnel Manager page
- Click on the Bell Icon
.
Alerts can be assigned to either an individual User or to a specific User Role. By assigning alerts to a User Role everyone that signs in as that User Type will see the Alerts on their Alert page. For more details on assigning Alerts please see support folder “Alerts, Reminders and General Messages”.
3. To assign the Alerts to a User select the User’s Name from the column on the left or to assign Alerts to a specific User’s Role then click User Role on the right.
4. If Role Alerts is selected, click to select the User Role in the column to the left. If you are assigning alerts to the individual skip to 5.
If you are in Chrome, take advantage of the “find” feature to help locate the alerts. To do this, hold down the Control key and the letter F, enter the key word in the search and use the arrows to toggle to each.
5. Check the boxes for each Alert you wish to add.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Click Save Changes.
Slide the alerts up and down from within the Role Alerts section to change the order they will display on the Alerts page.

2. Type the Note that the claim is ready to be reviewed.
3. Mark the claim Ready for Review.
