Managing Groups

Return to top

What is a WinFlex Web Group?

In WinFlex Web a Group is used to share work like Cases and Agents. Using Groups can save you time by entering Agent information one time and sharing with the Group. In a call center or office, sharing cases within a Group allows you to answer anyone's calls about cases.

Return to top

Who should use a Group?

WinFlex Web users who have a need to share Cases and/or Agents should create a Group and add the cases and agents that are needed.

Return to top

What else is helpful when using Groups?

Using a naming convention for cases that allows other people to find your work is recommended. You may want to use the Client's first and last name in the case name to help you locate a case in a list.

Ex: Smith Robert.wfc
or Robert Smith.wfc

Running a Composite report:

1)    Launch the WinFlex Web application by clicking on the [Start WinFlex Web] button on the Home page

2)    To find companies that support Composite, click on the [Product Selector] button then click the "Composite" checkbox. The available product list will be filtered to show all products that allow the Composite report.


3)    Select a Company and Product from the list and click [OK].

4)    Also select a concept from the Concept drop-down list. TIP: For a simple illustration, select "Cash Flow" or "Ledger." NOTE: You must use the same concept for all clients when illustrating Composite.


5)    Then enter the insured and policy information for the first client in the group.

6)    Next, add additional clients by clicking on the “Add Clients” button on the toolbar or by selecting "Add" from the Client menu.

7)    Click on Client 2 and choose another Company or Product if necessary. Also change any necessary client and policy information. Do the same for Clients 3 and 4.

8)    Now click on the "Run Composite" button . All clients are submitted for calculation at once. Once the calculation is completed, you will be able to view the basic illustration for each client and the Composite report that includes the selected clients.

9)    The completed Composite report is available on the WinFlex report tree. To view the report, click on the "Composite" link. The report will appear in the Adobe Acrobat Reader window.
