New: Enable Smart Reminders by Default Brokerages can now enable Smart Reminders by default for their agents when sending submissions to clients. Brokerages can also set the default timing selection of the Smart Reminders, choosing between High, Moderate, or Low. If enabled, Agents will be able to uncheck "Sent Smart Reminders" when sending a submission to a client if they wish, but it will be checked by default. Please contact your CSM or the Indio Support Team to enable Smart Reminders by default for your brokerage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUNE 7, 2021 New: Marketing analytics now available under the Admin feature: Agent Reports. With the addition of our Send to Market feature, Indio now has the ability for Admins to pull a report for not only how many submissions have been created, but also the details of those submissions. By clicking the number of Marketing Submissions created, admins can see how many times submissions were sent to specific carriers, what Line of Business was requested, and the resulting status of the submission (Quoted, Bound, Declined). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAY 31, 2021 New: Customize the timing of your Smart Reminders. If you check the box labeled "Send smart reminders to client" Indio will send automated reminders to your users via email, now at the timing you prefer, from High Frequency to Low Frequency. The below table outlines the differences between the High, Moderate, and Low Frequency options. Days from Due Date Email Type Sent High Moderate Low More than 60 Days "Light Touch" Tone Every 2 Weeks Every 3 Weeks Every 4 Weeks 30-60 Days "Light Touch" Tone Every Week Every Week Every Week 7-30 Days "Medium Touch" Tone Every 3 Days Every Week Every Week Less than 7 Days "Urgent" Tone Every Day Every 3 Days Every Week After Due Date Past Deadline Tone Every Day Every 3 Days Every Week Learn more about the new smart reminder customization here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APRIL 5, 2021 New: Export attachments to Accounts in Epic from Documents tab in Indio (Available to customers on Epic 2020 MU3 and with SDK license) Indio now allows exporting attachments from the Documents tab to an Account in Epic. Now both the systems can maintain a copy of the attachment, without the agent manually uploading it inside Epic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is another step in the path of making the exchange of data between Indio and Applied Epic automated, more robust, and seamless. Learn more about how this feature works. New: Inclusion of policy data import/export in the setup flow (Available to customers on Epic 2020 MU3 and with two-way SDK license) Indio has evolved the submission renewal workflow to include the ability to import policy data directly from Epic while creating the submission. This saves time and adds convenience by having this updated information right at your fingertips and in the context of the submission creation. Click here to learn more about the policy data import/export capability in the setup flow MARCH 22, 2021 New: Automatically create an activity in Epic for submissions sent to market from Indio (Available to customers on Epic 2021.1 and with SDK license.) Indio now exports an activity to Epic, each time a submission is sent to market (using the Send to Market feature). Both Indio and Epic can maintain a record of the Indio event, without the agent manually updating it inside Epic. This is another step in the path of making the exchange of data between Indio and Applied Epic automated, more robust, and seamless. Learn more about how this feature works. MARCH 8, 2021 New: Marketing Tracker New: Send to Carrier is now available for all US customers! Indio makes it easy to send marketing submissions to the carriers of your choosing right from within the platform and the Marketing Tracker is where a record of all of those submissions live. Navigating into a specific submission on a client account agents will now see two tabs: One for Data Collection and the other for Marketing. Click on the tab labeled Marketing. If you have not previously marketed this submission to carriers through Indio, you will see a screen with just one option, Send to Market. Once you have sent a submission to one or more markets through Indio you will see a list of the carriers you marketed the submission to, sorted alphabetically. You can click on a row to expand it and, using the tabs, view details of the submission, the attachments that were included, and any activity related to that submission. You can use the overflow menu to download a copy for your records or send a copy of the submission to another market. * Click here to learn more about the Marketing Tracker * Click here to learn more about Send to Carrier * Click here to learn more about the Data Collection Tab in Submission JANUARY 25, 2021 New: Change Summary Screen and Improved Import and Export flow with Epic (Available to customers on Epic SDK) We’ve made some improvements to the way data can be moved between Indio and Epic, such that it makes it easier to use and more transparent so you know what is going to change before you submit the import or export. When importing or exporting data between Indio and Epic, you will now see a summary of the changes and be able to view all the details of the import or export. This will help you assure the right data is going to the right place and correct any errors beforehand. [Learn more about how this works and other improvements we’ve made to the feature.] This is part of Indio’s ongoing improvements to the integration with Epic. We continue to make it easier to keep both systems up to date and eliminate unnecessary rekeying of data. JANUARY 11, 2021 New: Support for sending large marketing submissions with Indio's Send to Carrier When sending a marketing submission using Indio's Send to Carrier feature, if the collective size of the attachments exceeds 10MB, Indio now automatically breaks your submission into multiple emails to ensure that it can be successfully delivered, regardless of the recipient's email provider. If your submission exceeds 10MB, you will see a message appear that reads "Due to the size of this submission it will be delivered using more than one email message." Each email will have a prefix added in the subject line denoting that it is part of the same submission, such as "(1 of 2)" and "(2 of 2)". The body of each email will be the same with the attachments distributed between the multiple emails. NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Currently only available to Applied Epic users Indio makes it easy to send marketing submissions to the carriers of your choosing right from within the platform. Market your submission in three easy steps to quickly and efficiently send the same submission to multiple carriers. How It Works: 1. On the submission tab of a client account, click the Send button for the submission you want to send and choose to Send to Carriers. 2. On Step 1, add attachments to your submission from the available forms, schedules, and documents already in Indio, or upload a file to attach from your computer. 3. On Step 2, select your carrier, add your recipients, and draft an optional narrative. If you do not see the carrier you want to send to in the Carrier list, simply choose "Other" and type in the Carrier's name in the "Carrier Name" field that appears. The first time you send a Carrier a submission you will need to manually enter the Recipient's email address. The next time you send a submission to that carrier the Recipients field will autofill with the email address(es) you sent to previously. Click the “x” on the email address to remove any recipients you don’t want to include in your submission. Checking the "Send a copy to all assigned agents" box adds all the assigned agents on the account to BCC so they will receive a copy of the submission. The "Send me a copy" box is checked by default to ensure you receive a BCC of the submission for your records. You may uncheck the box if you do not wish to receive a copy, but we recommend leaving it checked so you have a copy for your records. The subject line is auto-filled based on your brokerage name and the client name, but you can customize it however you wish. 4. Review your submission to confirm everything looks correct before clicking Send to Carrier. If you have your Email Signature setup, it will be included in your email. If you have Email Integration enabled, then the submission email will be sent from your email address. 5. Click Send to Carrier on the final confirmation modal. 6. Success! You can easily market the submission to another carrier by clicking the blue Send a Copy to Another Carrier button. 7. Each time you send a marketing submission through Send to Carrier, an activity will be generated in Indio. OCTOBER 19, 2020 New: Indio's email integration with Microsoft Office 365, Outlook, Exchange, and Gmail Indio’s email integrations with Microsoft Office 365, Outlook, Exchange, and Gmail, enables you to send emails to your insureds from within the Indio platform using your business email account. What this means for your business: * Improve trust and credibility with your customers as a result of emails coming directly from your business email address and minimizing potential “Spam” concerns. * Streamline your workflow as all outgoing emails to your insureds sent from within Indio will now appear in your Microsoft Office 365, Outlook, Exchange or Gmail “Sent” folder.

MAY 18, 2020 New: Alert when a numerical field in form changes by 10% When using View Changes on a form, you will now see an indicator if a numerical field has increased or decreased by 10% or more.

APRIL 6, 2020 New: Importing Named Insured Scheduled to Indio You can now import Named Insured schedules from all three Agency Management Systems we support with integrations – Epic, AMS 360, and Sagitta. Read more on schedule import and export functionality UPDATED: DOCUMENTS VIEW We made some tweaks to the Documents view of a Client account.

NEW: SUBMISSION LOCKING AND HIDING * Agents can now lock a submission to prevent clients from making changes or hide a submission entirely from the client portal. * Read more about submission locking and hiding NEW: POLICY HEADERS * For brokerages with an AMS integration, agents will see a new Policies section in Client Details that shows a read-only view of all the policies under that account grouped by active and expired. * Note: This feature requires your agency admin to first configure the line of business filter on the integrations settings page. If you have any AMS integration and do not see the Policies tab, contact your agency admin. * Agents can choose to let clients also view their policy information in the client portal by turning on the Client can view policies switch. This is set to "off" by default. * Read more about policy headers Updated: New Verification Mode Option * A new "on by default" option for Verification Mode gives agencies the ability to have verification mode automatically enabled for any form added to a submission. * This brokerage setting can be adjusted for you by your CSM. The options available are: * OFF: Verification mode defaults to off for all forms added to a submission. * ON by default: Verification mode is defaulted to on for any form added to a new or renewed submission. * ON only for renewal submissions: Verification mode is defaulted to on for any form pulled in from a renewed submission. Any forms added to a non-renewal submission or added to a renewed submission will default to verification mode off. FORM TOOLBAR CHANGES * The Verification toggle for forms was moved from the overflow menu to the toolbar to make it more accessible. * The Download Attachments function is now in the overflow menu. FEBRUARY 15, 2020 As a modern software company, we know the value of being responsive to our customers and updating the product frequently. We currently send out a new version (a "release") every two weeks. Most of the time these changes are small, even invisible, but sometimes they're quite significant and can fundamentally change the way parts of the product work. We also know that having a tool that you rely on like Indio change so frequently can have its frustrations. To help mitigate that, we are moving our larger updates into one release each month. We will still continue to be responsive and ship smaller updates every two weeks, but we hope a more predictable cadence of major releases will be less disruptive. February's release both changes the way some pieces of the application work and adds a few features many of you have been asking for. CLIENT LIST REPLACING THE DASHBOARD * The dashboard is replaced with a redesigned and improved client list page. * Client activities are just a click away and are also redesigned with improved readability, grouping by date, and the ability to search and filter the activities. NEW: VIEWING CHANGES TO A FORM * See how a form has changed from the beginning of the submission (or last year) and when your client submits it. * To access this feature, click the View Form Changes button in the toolbar of any form screen: * Read more about how View Form Changes works. NEW: MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS IN E-SIGNATURE! * Finally, you can add more than one document when sending a signature request to your clients. Probably the most requested feature on the platform! NEW: CSR24 CERTIFICATE HOLDERS SCHEDULE IMPORT * We've add a special schedule mapped specifically to CSR24 certificate holders lists. CLIENT DETAILS SCREEN IMPROVEMENTS * There are many small tweaks throughout the application to clean up the user interface and make it easier to use. Some features you use may have moved on the screen but otherwise the experience is the same. * The biggest change is to the flow to create a new client in Indio. This will now walk a user through the process rather than having all steps on one screen. OTHER FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS * Check back here on Tuesday for a list of other small changes we'll fit into the release. Did this answer your question? 😞 😐 😃 We run on Intercom
