If you have purchased the Regulation Module software then read the Regulation Module User
Guide in conjunction with this Advanced Prospect Management guide.
The Advanced Prospect Management system allows authorised telesales staff to prepare, issue and
record the details of prospective business. The system may store up to 999 prospects for each
prospect reference. Each reference may store up to 35 quotations of the same policy type.
Advanced Prospect Management is available in two editions: Standard edition and Professional
edition. The Professional edition is available as an upgrade once the Standard edition is installed.
The Professional edition supports the following additional functionality:

Save Across Branches

Advanced Prospect Frame Calculations

Quoting For Cars Without An ABI Code

Force Payment Processing Required
The information which the system requests on the Prospect Details screen when generating or
amending details of a prospect is determined by the Broker or by Open GI Limited.
Advanced Prospect Management can record prospects for Motor, Truck, Home and Bike.
For more information on customising the Prospect Details screen, please refer to the section
entitled Configuring Advanced Prospect Management For Use.

Optional Functionality
Reference is made in this document to some additional modifications Open GI can add to your
Advanced Prospect Management system. These allow you to do the following:

Save across machines - this allows you to save prospect details to an alternative TRIPOS
processor if more than one is available.

Calculate commission in cashbook - this function links with Core Back-Office to allow
commission to be calculated during Cashbook processing rather than being taken directly from
the Commission field on the Transaction screen.

Allocate policy numbers to a non-EDI prospect when saved to Core Back-Office.

Save Process Control Frame – this function allows you to activate frame calculations during a
save to Core Back-Office.
For details of how to obtain this functionality, please contact your Open GI Account Manager.

When you select this option, the first Advanced Prospect Control screen is displayed. You can move
between the screens by pressing F10 and F11. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to move the
cursor through the fields.
Prospect Control Screen 1
1. Prospect Details screen
This field is used to select the Prospect Details format. If
you use Commercial, you can enter DPRC to record
Prospect Client details in a Commercial format. For
personal enter DPRX.
Open-i Format A default Open-i Prospect Master Format
can be entered here for Open-i.
2. Policy Details screen
This field is used to select the correct frame for the Policy
Details screen. DPPX is the standard screen.
3. Transaction Details Screen
When a prospect is saved to Core Back-Office, the
transaction details for the new policy are taken from the
frame specified in this field. NEGX is the standard screen.
New screens (Pre / Post Quote) can be created by the
user and calculations added with "Professional".
4. Name and Address text Format
This field determines the formatting of the name and
address of clients, and is especially important when the
details are used to generate letters in Core Back-Office.
You can select Lower, Upper, Mixed Case or Disabled.
“Disabled” means that no text formatting is applied to the
name and address fields and data will be left as it was
entered.
5. Quote type based on Executive
If this field is set to “Yes”, when you select the ‘Advanced
Prospect Control’ option from the main menu you will be
prompted to enter an executive code. Selecting “Yes” will
also call up a pop up box, entitled Exec Code - Policy
Link, which allows you to link executive codes to specific
policy types.
In the Policy Type field, enter the two letter policy code.
Enter up to 4 characters in the Exec Code field.
For further information on the effects of this field, refer to
the section Starting The Prospect Process.
6. Quote type based on policy
This is the alternative to the previous field. If this is set to
“Yes”, then the system will not request an executive code
when you select the ‘Advanced Prospect Control’ option
from the main menu.
If one of the previous two fields is set to “Yes”, then the other must be set to “No”.
7. Prospect Policy Check Screen
If you select “Yes” for this option, a pop up box entitled
Policy - Check Screen Link is displayed.
In this box, you can enter a policy type code and the
screen from the quote product to use when searching
through policy details. For example, you can link
MotorWriter policies (pc) to the Car Details frame (cf).
8. Prospect Search Criteria
Use this field to select whether, when searching for a
client’s prospect details, you want to search by name, by
postcode, frame or All. If “All” is selected, then when users
search the prospect records they will have the choice of
searching by postcode, name or frame.
9. Authorisation for entry to Quote
Product
If you enter “Yes” in this field, then a pop-up box will be
displayed. This box is used to specify a key letter for each
Quote product. Before a user can access a Quote product,
their password must be associated with the relevant key
letter.
Refer to the Maintaining Passwords section in the System Management Guide for further information.
10. Direct Access to Quote Product
as set in BROOMS Policy Type
Amendment
On every Core Back-Office or Advanced Prospect
Management screen where the quote products can be
called, use the ESC X keystroke (currently used to call
MOTOR) to call the quote product appropriate to the policy
type (If there is no associated policy type because the
display is at client level, you will be prompted to select the
desired Quote Engine). The other quote keystrokes (ESC
H etc.) will still work as at present.
11. Direct Access to Update
Mode
If this field is set to “Yes”, then when users view prospect
details the system automatically enters Update mode. If
“No”, then they must press F2 to enter Update mode.
12. Pre Quotation Screens
If this field is set to “Yes”, then a pop up box of the same
name will be displayed.
You can assign one or more Pre Quotation screens to a
policy type, for example an override screen (OVRD) with
MotorWriter policies (PC). Press F2 to edit the list of
screens associated with a policy type.
Any screens that are specified here will appear after the
Prospect Details screen has been completed, but before
the Quote process begins.
For default screens for policy types that do not have a specific entry in this control record, leave the
policy type blank and list the required screens.
See the Pre Quotation Screens section.
Prospect Control Screen 2
13. Post Quotation Screens
This option behaves in the same way as the Pre
Quotation Option field, except that it is used to specify
extra customised screens that are displayed after the
Quote process is complete.
For default screens for policy types that do not have a specific entry in this control record, leave the
policy type blank and list the required screens.
See the Post Quotation Screens section for further details.
14. Forced Save of Prospect
Details
If you enter “Yes” here, then all new prospect details will
be saved, even if the user presses ESC ESC. However,
modifications to prospect details can be saved or
abandoned as normal.
15. Forced Save of Policy Details
This field functions in exactly the same way as Forced
Save of Prospect Details field, except that it applies to
new policies.
16. Irish/Scottish Name Generation
This field is used to determine how reference codes are
generated for clients with Irish and Scottish surnames
beginning with “Mc” or “Mac”, or “O”.
‘Drop Prefix’ removes these prefixes completely:
“Macdonald” and “McDonald” would generate the
reference code DOXX01.
‘Include Prefix’ will cause the system to retain the first
letter of the prefix. Therefore “Macdonald” and “McDonald”
would become MDXX01.
‘Unset’ uses the first two letters of the surname as normal.
“Macdonald” and “McDonald” become MAXX01 and
MCXX01 respectively.
17. Save to BROOMS Validation
Screens
This field behaves in much the same way as the ‘Pre’ and
‘Post Quotation Screens’ options. A pop up box is
displayed, in which you can link policy types to particular
screens. These screens are displayed immediately before
prospect details are saved to Core Back-Office, and are
used to check that the prospect details are all correct.
Press ESC ESC to abandon processing.
For default screens for policy types that do not have a specific entry in this control record, leave the
policy type blank and list the required screens.
The following field is only enabled if you are using the Professional edition of Advanced Prospect
Management.
18. Save across Branches
If the user enters “Yes”, then when saving details to Core
Back-Office, the system will provide you with the option to
save to another branch. This process only applies to
prospects that are saved to Core Back-Office via the ESC
G or ESC 5 hot key combination.
The following two fields represent functionality only available if specifically purchased. See Optional
APM Functionality for details.
19. Save across Machines
If you enter “Yes”, then when saving details to Core BackOffice, the system will display an option to save to another
TRIPOS Processor, if more than one is available. This
process only applies to prospects that are saved to Core
Back-Office via the ESC G hot key combination.
20. Calculate Commission in
Cashbook
Enter “Yes” if you want commission to be calculated during
Cashbook processing in Core Back-Office, or “No” for
commission to be taken directly from the Commission
field on the Transaction screen.
21. Copy Workings to BROOMS
If MotorForms is used to save the details of a MotorWriter
prospect to Core Back-Office, then this field must be set to
“Yes”.
The functionality behind the following field is only available as part of a separately purchased module
when you are using the Professional edition of Advanced Prospect Management. See Optional
Advanced Prospect Management Functionality for details.
22. Allocate Policy number at Save
Enter “Yes” if you want the system to allocate a policy
number to a non-EDI prospect when it is saved to Core
Back-Office using ESC 5 or ESC G. Please refer to the
“Automatic Policy Numbers” and “Policy Numbers
Allocation” sections in the Scheme Toolkit Guide for further
details on policy numbers.

is displayed when prospect details are saved to Core
Back-Office. The options are ‘Always’, ‘Credit Cards Only’,

at certain points in the system. Press F1 for a list of
options.

Allows users to search in the current branch only, in the
branch of their choice, or across all branches.
28. Claims warning for imported
clients
If this is set to “Yes” then when a Core Back-Office client is
imported via ESC L or ESC S the system displays a
warning if the client has made a claim within the last 12
months that has been recorded via ClaimsWriter.
29. Check policy accepted before
Save
If this is set to “Yes” then the system will not allow
operators to save prospect details to Core Back-Office
before they have been accepted. The functionality
controlled by this is not normally available.
The following three fields represent functionality only available if specifically purchased. See Optional
Advanced Prospect Management Functionality for details. These fields should only be completed if
option 19 on Screen 2, “Save across Machines” is set to “Yes”. See Prospect Control Screen 2 for
details.

amended Risk Level Frames (if you have pressed F2 and
made changes). If you enter “Yes” here, the system will
save the changes anyway. If you want the confirmation
popup to be displayed, enter “No” here.
34. Action on Requote/Detail
Amendment
When changes are made to risk level frames, either as a
requote or amendment, this field allows you to determine
where the changes are saved. You can select one of the
following options:

Same policy - automatically overwrite the existing
policy with the new details.

Prompt user - prompt the user to choose whether to
overwrite the existing policy or create a new policy.


This option allows you to transfer and save prospects to
different branches on your system. Press ESC D from the
Policy Details screen and you will be asked to input the
destination Branch id (unless you have specified the
default branch in the Default Prospect Transfer Branch
field).
36. Default Prospect Transfer
Branch
Enter the default branch that all prospect are to be
transferred to or leave blank to allow the user to input the
appropriate branch.
37. Save to Existing Brooms
Policy
Setting this option to “Yes” allows you to save an
Advanced Prospect Management quote back to an
existing Core Back-Office policy. This is used for MTA and
Renewal processing and only the risk level frames are
updated. Those frames that will be overwritten on the
Core Back-Office policy are converted to history frames
first.
Although this option appears on screen it can only be accessed if purchased.
Prospect Control Screen 4

The 'Freeform Search' option will only appear when ESC D is pressed if it is switched in the Core
Back-Office Broker Amendment.
Refer to the Client/Policy Details chapter in the Core Back-Office User Guide for further details.
Prospect Letter Print
The Prospect Letter Print facility is used to print out letters generated by the creation and amendment
of prospects. It is identical to the Core Back-Office facility, Client Letter Print.
For information on how to use this option, please refer to the Client Letter Print section in the Core
Back-Office User Guide.
Database Enquiry
This option is used to manage the prospect records on the system, and to generate letters and
reports from them. It is identical in function to the Database Management facility in Core Back-Office.
However, when querying, searching and generating letters it uses keywords specific to Advanced
Prospect Management.
See the chapter entitled Advanced Prospect Management Keywords for a list of Advanced Prospect
Management keywords.
For information on how to use this facility, please refer to the Database Enquiry chapter in the Core
Back-Office User Guide (Part 2).
Frame Calculations
This option is only available if you are using the Professional edition of Advanced Prospect
Management.
The process of creating and configuring frame calculations within Advanced Prospect Management
is identical to that used in Core Back-Office. However, Advanced Prospect Management frame
calculations are distinct from Core Back-Office frame calculations.
For details of how to maintain frame calculations, please refer to the section entitled Performing
Calculations In Frames in the Modules (Risk Details) And Registers chapter of the Core BackOffice User Guide.
Policy Number Maintenance
This option is used to maintain batches of policy numbers for particular schemes. This option is only
available if purchased separately.
For full details on this option, please refer to the Automatic Policy Numbers chapter in the Scheme
Toolkit User Guide.
Scheme Cross Referencing
If the Insurer is not being filled in when saving to Advanced Prospect Management or Core BackOffice, use the ‘Scheme Cross-Referencing’ option on the Maintenance menu to provide a cross
reference between the quotation products.
See the section Scheme Cross Referencing in the Core Back-Office Part 1 User Guide for further

As Open GI provides several quote systems for different kinds of policy, it would be impractical to try
to describe the variations on the Advanced Prospect Management screens that apply to each one.
This User Guide is a generic guide to the Advanced Prospect Management process. Where relevant,
there are references to the Quote product User Guides. All the screens in this chapter are from an
Advanced Prospect Management System that is generating a prospect with MotorWriter or
TruckWriter.

Starting The Prospect Process
To start the prospect process:
1. Select the ‘Prospect Records’ option from the Advanced Prospect menu and press RETURN.
If the Quote Type based on Executive field on the Advanced Prospect Control screen is set

Enter up to 50 characters
Fact Find
This date will be populated automatically when
the prospect profile is first created.
New quote
Enter up to 2 characters for the policy type or
press F1 for a list.
The appearance of this screen depends on the settings of certain fields on the Prospect
Control screen, as described in the section entitled Configuring Advanced Prospect
Management For Use.
2. To begin the process of creating a new prospect, press the New Prospect button (ESC 1).
The Prospect Details screen will enter ‘Update’ mode and the cursor will move to the first
field.
The New Prospect window will be displayed if option 95, 'Prospect master - always use
default (Open-i only)' in Prospect Control Page 8 is blank or set to "No".
If you are using an executive code with an associated policy type, this policy type will appear
in the New Quote field at the bottom of the screen. You may amend this field if desired.
You can only set an Agent, Executive, Policy Type in the Agent, New Quote and Executive
fields if their status is “Active” or blank in the 'Agent Amendment', 'Executive Amendment' and
'Policy Type Amendment' options. If you press F1 in the Agent or Executive fields, only those
with an “Active” or blank status are listed.
3. Enter all the required client details. At the very least, you must enter the proposer’s name, as
this is used to generate the prospect reference code.
When preparing a new prospect, if required you can enter the relevant policy type code in the
New Quote field. For example:

PC for MotorWriter

TW for TruckWriter

MC for BikeWriter

HQ for HomeWriter
Alternatively, press F1 for a list of policy types and frames.
4. When you have entered all the necessary details, press RETURN to proceed.
If set in the Advanced Prospect Control, the Exec field will be a mandatory field on the
Prospect or Policy screens.
If you have entered “Yes” to the Broker Amendment option ‘Override created Client
Reference’ then the Client Reference window will be displayed. You now have the option to
over type the automatically generated client reference. The entered reference must be 4
alpha characters long, otherwise the error message: Invalid Client Reference will be
displayed.
Press ESC ESC or F3 to abandon the override processing. Press RETURN to confirm the
new reference and if it is valid this will be used as the new client reference.
5. If you have entered a Policy Type, the system should start up the relevant Quote product.
Otherwise, the Prospect Details screen will be displayed with the details of your new
prospect displayed.
6. If you have specified any frames in the Advanced Prospect Control Page 7 option 83, these
Client Profile frames will be displayed.
If on the Prospect Control screen the ‘Pre-Quotation Screen’ option is set to “Yes”, then the
specified screens will appear at this point.
Refer to the Pre Quotation Screens section later in this chapter.
Understanding The Prospect Reference
The system generates a reference code on the completion of the Prospect Details screen. This is
derived from the name of the proposer. The system uses the first two letters of the surname and the
first two initials. If there is only one initial, then the system uses an X instead.
The first four characters of this code are intended to be as close as possible to the client code format
used in Core-Back-Office. For example, if you enter “Mr J. L. Smith” in the Name field, the system
generates the reference code SMJL001. If however you enter “Mr J Smith”, the reference code will
be SMJX001.
If the name of the proposer is a company name, then the reference code can be generated
differently. Prospect reference codes for companies consist of the first four letters of the company
name, substituting X where the company name contains fewer than four letters. For example,
Open001 is the code generated for Open GI Limited.
The system performs a number of checks on proposer names before generating a reference code, to
check whether it is a company name. Some company names may not be detected by these checks,
and will be assigned a reference code in the same way as a personal name. In this event, you can
either keep the code as it is, or abandon the prospect and generate a new one, this time with a
variation on the company name.

Prospect Profiles - Fact Find
Prospect Profiles - Fact Find
Introduction
Prospect Profiles are used to capture Fact Find information such as the type of policies a prospect
may require now or in the future along with additional information about the prospect that may not
relate to a specific risk.
Fact Find information can be included in a Prospect Register of Insurance if you have Open-R
installed.
Generic Risk information can also be stored within the Profile details and used to pre-fill new Quote
Risk Level frames.
You can also search for Fact Find Modules in Database Enquiry.

Profile Frames (Prospect)
The Core system is delivered with a range of standard Profile frames, FF1, FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5, FF6
and FF7, which enable you to record Fact Find information for new and existing prospects.

FF1 to FF4 contain fields to record Class of Business details

FF5 contains field to record Business Description details

FF6 and FF7 are repeatable frames and contain fields to record Premise(s) details. The frames
are linked by a Premise Id field which appears on both frames.
In addition to or as a replacement of these standard frames, you can design and create your own.
Refer to the Frame Module Maintenance section of the ‘Modules (Risk Details) & Registers chapter
of the Core Back-Office Part 1 Online Help Guide for further information on creating frames.
The system can be configured to present up to 10 Profile frames to appear in a specified sequence
when a new Profile is created by entering the Profile frame names in option 83 ‘Profile Frames’ on
Page 7 of Advanced Prospect Control. A frame can appear more than once within the sequence and
additional frames can be added to the Prospect record to capture additional information at a later
stage.
TX modules can be used as Client Profile frames within Core Back-Office but cannot be used as
Prospect Profile frames in Advanced Prospect Management.
(Advanced Prospect Management Guide) Open GI Limited
Prospect Profiles (Creating)
When a new Prospect is created, either by clicking the New Prospect button or pressing ESC 1, the
Profile frames will be presented in the sequence stored in option 83 ‘Profile Frames’ on Page 7 of
Advanced Prospect Control to carry out the initial ‘Fact Find’ when the Prospect Details page is
saved.
If option 94 ‘Create Profile’ on Page 8 of Advanced Prospect Control is set to “Yes”, these will appear
automatically. If option 94 is set to “Usually Yes” or “Normally Not” the following dialog box will
appear:
Select “Yes” to carry out the ‘Fact Find’.
Profile frames can be skipped by clicking the Cancel button or by pressing F3. The ‘Fact Find’ can
be abandoned entirely by pressing ESC ESC.
When the set is complete or the ‘Fact Find’ is abandoned, a list of existing Profile frames is displayed
on the Profile Sequence and Types page:
The action buttons displayed operate in a similar way to their equivalents on the Risk Details
Sequence and Types page.
The data captured during the ‘Fact Find’ will be held at Prospect Level, separately from the Quote
Risk details. The Fact Find field on the Prospect page will be completed automatically with the
system date when the Profile frames are first added to the record. This field can then be used to
record the date the details within the Profile frames where last updated.
Click the Profile tab, Right Arrow button or press F11 to page forward through the Prospect Level
frames. Click the Left Arrow button or press F10 to page backwards between the frames.
Click the Exit Prospect tab or press RETURN to exit the Prospect Level frames and return to the

If a new Prospect record is created, by loading an existing Client record into Advanced Prospect
Management from Core Back-Office either by clicking the Load button or pressing ESC L, any Client
Profile frame details for the client will be copied and a new Prospect Profile will be created for the
new prospect. The Fact Find field on the new Prospect record will be set to the date held in the Fact
Find field on the Client record.
If the Client record does not have a Profile no Profile frames will be created for the Prospect.
Any existing Client Extension pages are converted to BCD frames, forming part of the Prospect
Profile.
The action taken when existing Client Profile details are loaded into existing Prospect Profile details
depends on the setting of option 87 ‘Replace Prospect Profile on load from BROOMS’ on Page 7 of
Advanced Prospect Control. Either the existing Prospect Profile data is left unaltered or it can be
completely replaced by the Client Profile.
If the option is set to:

“Yes” – The existing Prospect Profile details will be replaced with the Client Profile.

“No” – The existing Prospect Profile details will NOT be replaced.

“Usually Yes” or “Normally Not” – The following dialog box will appear:
If “Yes” is selected the existing Prospect Profile details will be replaced with the Client Profile, if “No”
is selected they will NOT be replaced.
Any TX modules (Tripos or Open Word) in the Client Profile will not be transferred.
The Client Profile is never updated during the load processing from Core Back-Office to Advanced
Prospect Management.

Using Fact Find as Risk Information for a New Quotation
This section explains how to use the available Prospect Profile frames as a source of Risk
information for when creating Risk details for a new quotation by giving users the option to pre-fill
new Quote Risk Level frames from the corresponding Prospect Profile frames.
BCD frames will be disregarded when creating new quote risk details.
Your pre-fill preferences can be set using option 83 ‘New Risk Level 3 Frame Pre-Fill from Level 1 on
create’ on Page 7 of Advanced Prospect Control. The following options are available:

No

Normally Not

Usually Yes

Yes
If the Pre-fill option is set to “No”, has been left blank or there is no frame of the same type in the
Prospect Profile frame for the new Quote Risk frame being displayed, any Prospect Profile
information will be disregarded and you will need to enter the data into the new Quote Risk frame
manually.
If the Pre-fill option is set to “Yes” and there is a single frame of the same type within the Prospect
Profile the system will use the details from the corresponding Prospect Profile frame to populate the
new Quote Risk frame fields automatically. Check the details and make the necessary alterations to
the pre-filled fields and enter any additional data before the Quote Risk frame is saved.
If the Pre-fill option is set to “Usually Yes” or “Normally Not” and there is a single frame of the same
type within the Prospect Profile the system will display the following message for the new Quote Risk
frame about to be displayed:
Prefill Frame <frame name> from Client Profile?
If you chose to proceed with the pre-fill option the system will use the corresponding Prospect Profile
frame to populate the frame fields. Check the details and make the necessary alterations to the prefilled fields and enter any additional data before the Quote Risk frame is saved.
If the Pre-fill option is set to “Yes”, “Usually Yes” or “Normally Not” and you chose to proceed with the
pre-fill option when prompted. If there are multiple frames of the same type within the Prospect
Profile the system will display the Select Profile Frame screen which will list the corresponding
Profile frames, click the Profile frame you wish to pre-fill the new Quote Risk frame fields with, check
the details, make the necessary alterations to the pre-filled fields and enter any additional data before
the Quote Risk frame is saved. This process will be repeated for the second and subsequent frames.
If you leave the list without making a selection, you will need to enter the data into the new Quote
Risk frame manually.
To differentiate between the details on the Select Profile Frame screen, allocate a key field for the
frame using the ‘Summary Key Field’ feature within Frame Module Maintenance and set option 67
‘Level 3 Frame Browse Display Style’ to “Description & Key Field” or “Key Field”.
Refer to the Creating Summary Key Fields page.
Regulation Module
If you have Regulation Module software installed, the Sales and Advice frames BGA and BGB can
be included within the initial ‘Find Find’ or added later to pre-fill the Quote Risk Sales and Advice
frames at the trigger points defined on the Method of Sale screen in Regulation Module Control.
