Review an Application

This action allows you to distribute an application without changing the Stage on the Service Summary. It also allows you to print the application without a watermark.

Note: This article contains printing instructions that are only applicable if Applied Epic is installed locally on your computer. If you access Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, you cannot print directly from within the system. See Printing for more information about the printing capabilities available from Epic Browser. All other steps in this article are applicable to both methods of accessing Epic unless stated otherwise.

You can make up to eight selections for the Type of Business criterion and up to 10 for the Line Type criterion.

To save your currently applied filters as a default for the selected client or all clients, create Filter Defaults. Filter defaults are unavailable for the Marketed and Marketed (History) lists and for Policies lists opened from the Access menu (as Access > Policies already provides a filtered view).
