Communications Page Updates
We're excited to announce several improvements to the Communications page that make it easier to find and manage your communications.
Enhanced Filtering Options
- New "Received From" Filter: Easily filter communications based on sender direction (Any, Them, Us) to quickly find specific types of correspondence.
- Example: Select "Them" to view all incoming communications from claimants, admins, and prospects.
- New Case Contact Type Filter: Filter communications by contact type (Any, Claimant/Admin, Prospect) to better organize your communications.
- Example: Choose "Prospect" to focus on communications with prospect claimants not known in the dashboard.
- Updated Claim Status Filter: The status filter has been renamed to "Claim Status Type" for clearer navigation.
Pro Tip: Using Filters Together
- Combine filters to narrow down your search.
- Example: Combine "Received From: Them" with "Case Contact Type: Claimant" to view all incoming claimant communications.
- Save frequently used filter combinations for quick access later.
- All filters work together using AND logic, allowing precise combinations to find exactly what you need.

We've added a powerful email search function with the following capabilities:
- Search within specific tabs (
Unassigned
,Assigned to Me
,Assigned to Others
,Assigned to My Role
, andConcluded

Search Tips
- Searches are limited to the current tab you're viewing.

Reminders Enhancements
What's Changed
We've improved the reliability of our automated reminder system to ensure you never miss important follow-ups.
More Reliable Reminder Delivery

- Recurring reminders (e.g., every 5 days) will maintain their schedule more reliably.
Impact on Your Work
- More predictable reminder delivery.
- No missed reminders due to timing differences.
- Better consistency for recurring follow-ups.
Example Scenario
- If you set up a reminder to:
