This article is a quick guide about navigating Claimable as a read-only user.

If you have been given access to Claimable as a read-only user, your company and some of your colleagues are probably already using Claimable on a daily basis to manage claims, however, you may not be too familiar with it.

Being a read-only user means you will have visibility of most claim information as a viewer, but without the ability to collaborate or edit information within Claimable.

This role is often suitable for directors, accounts teams, external consultants, auditors or anyone who has limited involvement in the claim process but who require oversight of the claims.

To help you navigate Claimable, below is a quick summary of the parts of Claimable you will have access to, how they are used and what activities can be performed.

Claims List

When logging into Claimable, the first page you see is the main Claims tab with a list of all claims/cases, which are shown along with some key information such as the Claim Type, Incident Date, the team member the claim is Assigned To, the Appointed Suppliers and the Checklist progress, among other things.


From here, on the left hand side, you can also access Filters and Labels.

Filters

Filters are a great way to report on claims (but also, tasks, contacts and companies) by filtering the data on one or more conditions.โ€‹ For instance, you may find a filter called "Year-to-date claims" or "All claims assigned to James Bond" showing you all claims created this year-to-date or all claims assigned to James Bond respectively. By clicking on a specific filter, you will see a list of all claims that meet the filter's conditions.

As a read-only user, and if you have been given permission to do so, you can create new filters/reports by clicking on the "+" icon.

To learn more about Filters you can read our Introducing Filters article.

Note: Read-only users can view and export claims belonging to a specific filter but cannot edit or delete existing filters.

Labels

Labels are like "categories" or "tags" and provide a way to categorise, group together and identify the state of claims, contacts, tasks, documents, messages and companies.

By clicking on the Labels tab you will be able to see all labels on your account and the claims that have these labels applied.

Note: Read-only users can view and export claims under a specific label but cannot create new labels or edit and delete existing ones.
