The Track Major/Minor Claims setting in Settings > Modules > Claims controls whether or not:
- The Major/Minor Claims box appears in Policies > Processing.
- The Major/Minor Claims section appears under Loss History in the Property tab of a policy.
You can upload major/minor claim .csv files in Policies > Processing > Major/Minor Claims. Once you upload a file, you can import information. If you add claims to a .csv file that is already uploaded and imported, you can import the existing file again, without reattaching claims that are already attached or creating duplicate claims.
You can determine if a surcharge will be applied to a policy based on the number of major/minor claims filed on a single policy. You can determine surcharge parameters for major/minor claims in Lines > Lines Effective Date > Policy type > Line Item > Rating > Categories > Number of Claims.
Note: If you want to apply surcharges to major/minor claims, line set up will likely occur during Lines configuration.
It is recommended that you contact your support team if you have questions or want to implement this feature.

Upload a CSV file
When the Track Major/Minor Claims setting is enabled, the Major/Minor Claims box will appear in the Processing screen of the Policies module. You can upload a .csv file that includes a spreadsheet of major and minor claims in the Major/Minor Claims box. The .csv file allows you to track major and minor claims.

Import a CSV file
Once you upload a .csv file, you can import the file. When you import a file, the major and minor claims included in the file will automatically populate the Major/Minor Claims table(s) in the Property tab(s) of the associated policy or policies. A note will automatically be created on each policy a claim is added to. The notes can be found in the associated policy's Notes screen.
Note: The Major/Minor Claims feature is configured specifically for policies that only have one property. If a policy has more than one property, the major/minor claims from the .csv file won't populate in the Major/Minor Claims table on the policy's Property tab.
To import a .csv file:
- Navigate to Policies > Processing.
- Select the Major/Minor Claims box to expand the section.
- Locate the file you want to import and select the blue arrow icon. A Message pop-up window will open notifying you of how many claims were duplicates, how many weren't able to find a property, and how many claims were successfully attached to the associated policy.
- Select OK to close the pop-up window.
Delete a CSV file
To delete a .csv file:
