Managing Sequence Numbering

The Sequence Numbers page is used to manage custom sequence number configurations within the claims module. A sequence number configuration holds a numerical value that is tracked by the system and incremented every time the configuration is used. This feature creates unique and sequential Incident Numbers for each First Notice of Loss (FNOL).

The numbers can be accessed within the claims submission form using the GetAndIncrementSequenceNumber function. Every time the function accesses one of these numbers, it returns its current value, and then increments it by 1.

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Sequence Numbers.  A list of all available configurations is displayed.



2. Select an action.
   • Click a link in the Name column to view an existing Sequence Number configuration.
   • Click Add to add a new Sequence Number configuration.

   • Check the boxes for one or more fields and click Delete to delete the selected Sequence Number configurations. Deleted configurations will still be functional for existing claims, but cannot be used for new claim submissions.

3. On viewing or creating a configuration, the Sequence Number window opens. The panels and fields are described below. Fields marked with a red asterisk * are required.



Name	Enter the name of the sequence number configuration.
Code	Enter a code to identify the sequence number configuration.
	This field is only editable upon the creation of the Sequence Number configuration, and must contain a unique value.
Next Sequence Number	Displays the next sequence number in the configuration. A valid integer value must be provided. This is the value returned by the GetAndIncrementSequenceNumber function in the claims module.
Description	A description can be provided for the field. This information is only displayed here and in the Sequence Numbers list.
Modified By	Identifies the last user who made a change to the configuration.
Modified On	Identifies the last date and time the configuration was changed.
Created By	Identifies the user who created the configuration.
Created On	Identifies the date and time the configuration was created.

4. Select an action.
• Click Save to save the configuration and remain on the page.
• Click Save & New to save the configuration and clear the form for a new entry.
• Click Save & Close to save the configuration and return to the Sequence Numbers page.
• Click Delete to delete the current configuration and return to the Sequence Numbers page.
• Click Close to close the window and return to the Sequence Numbers page without saving the configuration.
