The Claim Info is located on the right side when viewing a claim and shows you useful information about the claim.

It provides a convenient, at-a-glance overview of the key information regarding the claim, such as Status, Claim Type, Claim ID, Date Created/Closed, Appointed Suppliers and who the claim is Assigned To. It also lets you add labels or close/reopen the claim from whichever tab you are viewing.

The Checklist Progress Bar

In the Claim Info you can see the Checklist progress bar which gives a convenient, at-a-glance overview of the level of completion of the claim, based on completed and open tasks on the Claim Checklist.

The progress bar will change colour according to the number of tasks completed: blue when at least one task has been actioned and green when all the tasks have been carried out. Clicking on the number next to the progress bar you will be redirected to the Checklist page.
