1. Accessing Your Claimable Account

You have been provided with your unique web address allowing you to access Claimable at anytime, anywhere. Just login with your email address and password and you are ready to use your account!

To ensure the optimal running of Claimable we recommend using a modern browser, such as Google Chrome or the latest version of Microsoft Edge.

When finished, click the "Create" button to save the claim. When the claim is saved successfully, it will appear at the top of your "All" filter.Β 

3. Working with Your Claims

In order to open a claim, just click on the claim record. When you open a claim you will see that is broken down into tabs listed on the left-hand side.

You can proceed to populate these tabs as the claim progresses, such as adding contacts, notes and uploading documents relating to the claim.

4. Managing Your Workflow

For each claim you create, you will be able to create a to-dos list of tasks that need completion under the Claim Checklist. If you set a due date and assign tasks to a user, Claimable will send a daily reminder of these tasks, the Claimable Daily.

Also, if there is a set of tasks that you perform for each claim type you deal with, Claimable allows you to have the Checklist automatically populated with Repeating Tasks. You just need to send us a list of tasks you wish to appear automatically in the Checklist and we will add that for you.

5. Organising Your Claims

Filters and Labels are great tools to organise and categorise your claims.

​Filters enable you to report on your claims according to different conditions. We have added some sample filters in your account, but you can add more!

To create your own filters, click on the "+" sign.

For each claim you deal with, Claimable creates a contact profile for everyone involved in the claim. You can keep track of as many contacts as you need and over time you'll build a database of all your contacts.

The contacts you create will be saved in your Contacts list ready to be linked to future claims, along with their personal details, notes and claim history.


​8. Creating a Directory of Companies you work with

The claims you deal with may involve other companies such as Suppliers, Insurers, Brokers or Clients.

Adding these to your Companies list will ensure they can be linked to claims so you can keep track of all the parties involved easily.

9. Tweaking Notifications to Support your Productivity

When you activate your account, you will be subscribed to some default notifications such as the Claimable Daily (a reminder of tasks due today and tomorrow as well as a summary of overdue ones), Claim Assigned, Claim Status Changed (for claims assigned to you) and Task Assigned.

This said you can opt out at any time or choose to opt in to additional notifications.

For instance, you may want to be notified every time a note is added to a claim you are assigned to or a colleague comments on a note you wrote.

Change your notifications preferences by accessing the Notifications tab from the Your Preference section, ticking the option you are interested in and clicking "Save".

10. Adding Message Templates

Message Templates allow you to automatically create custom emails with a pre-defined body including automatically populated claim data that saves you time and ensures consistency when communicating with claimants, clients, suppliers and colleagues.

If you are on the Growth or Established pice plan, you can create unlimited amount of templates in your account.

To do so, go to Account Settings > Message Templates and click on "Add Message Template +".

11. Customising your Message Signature

Every time you send a message from Claimable a default signature containing your name and company will be added. We advise adding your position/title, phone number or even your office address, to give people more ways to contact you and build trust.
