Setting up a New Client for Portal Access
To provide your insureds access to your Self-Service
Portal, you can set up their login and password and select their
default starting page and features. If your organization uses Applied
MobileInsured, you can also choose the screen that displays when the insured
uses the application.
Insureds can also click Create
an account on the Self-Service
Portal login screen to set up a Portal account by themselves. If
this feature is not available for your insureds, please contact your CSR24
system administrator.
You can also provide insureds Self-Service
Portal access from Applied Epic using a CSR24 SSO link.
