An Overview & What You Can Customize
There are three parts to the insurance settings:
1.) Information gathering
This is where you can tweak what your client sees as they go through an online Insurance Fact Find. This includes:
Introduction: Customize the first cover page/ blurb of information of your client's online Fact Find.
The Scope of Advice (insurance cover areas) that you can give advice on: You can also tweak whether your client can exclude (or have to include) cover areas, and add any further advice services they can select interest in and partner services you work with.
Needs Analysis: Prioritize essential scenarios, and add your own custom scenarios here.
βNote that the default Trail scenarios will be linked to cover level calculations, while any custom scenarios you create will not be part of Trail's cover calculations.Declaration: Towards the end of the Insurance Fact Find, you can customize the wording here on your obligations, confidentiality of information and acknowledgements.

2.) Cover level calculations
This is where you can check how Trail generates Cover Level calculations/ recommended cover amounts and also you can do some degree of customization here. This includes:
General: Estimated pricing/ premiums for your recommended cover, default payment frequency and whether to add expected interest on savings.
βAll other cover areas:
You can click on the tiles to check what Needs Analysis Scenario, when checked, will lead to what Trail does as a cover level calculation.
β
You can also ADD your own cover areas with a title and description, which will have some options of calculation. If you do this, it will show in the Recommended Cover as you're refining the cover.

3.) Statement of Advice
This is where you can edit your SOA Templates and some default reasonings for frequently recommended Providers.
SOA Templates: Add, edit, remove and manage your SOA templates here. These templates can then be applied as you're editing particular SOAs within an Insurance Advice Opportunity.
Provider Research: Add some generic reasonings to support providers that you would recommend to your clients and upload their set of updated provider documents (PDFs). These provider documents you can then opt to include as part of your SOA if you recommend this provider - and also select the relevant provider documents to include for that client within that Insurance Opportunity.
