Why do I need to update?

It's therefore advised you upgrade your system (at no additional cost) whenever a new update becomes available.

What's in this release?..

Loading time: approx 4 minutes

Version numbering: the first two numbers indicate the actual version, while the final one indicates minor revisions, which can largely be ignored. So if you find the update on our website has incremented to 6.6.47 or 6.6.49, etc, it'll probably just incorporate some further improvements.

This update includes entirely new features, while also resolving issues with the recent update to 6.6.42. It also includes some important fixes for both Life and General insurance users.

For All users we've added complex passwords for the Durell login, which may be defined in “Setup / Users”. All users will be prompted to reset theirs at least once in the next few months. Complex passwords are not technically enforced, though they are required for FSA compliance, so you are strongly recommended to create one when prompted.

The handy "Comments" field in the scrolling list of Policies is now searchable. To add a free format comment to any policy in the scrolling view just right-click it. Then to display these comments in the scrolling view use the new “Use column setup” dropdown, accessed via the Binoculars button. Also in this update the resolution checker for the new larger screen size is now by-passed, so although small screen devices like Netbooks will now always display Durell, the bottom 20% of certain screens may be missing. This can be resolved by upgrading them to Windows 7, which can increase resolution through software.

For our Life, Pensions & Investment customers we've significantly updated the Durell factfind to version 8, and the Cashbook Reconciliation system now proportionately adjusts adviser and lead pay-aways created by the Post Monthly Commission routine, which previously had to be done separately.

For our General Insurance customers we've added a fix for Insurecom so MTAs can be processed after the receipt of a renewal invitation, where the original renewal invitation must be deleted before the MTA, and subsequently replaced with a new one. The policy reference for iprism is now a searchable field, and can be displayed in the scrolling view of Policies via the Binoculars button “Use column setup” dropdown. We've also made further improvements to the new policy "Add-ons" facility.
