Title: Mass Rename of Marketing Codes?
Post by: insurebaltimore on May 05, 2010, 09:59:29 AM
I'm guessing there's no utility for this.  Has anyone done it via TAMDBFR?  If so, a "how to" would be of tremendous help.

When you guys get to an SQL database ( which I have now) you will find doing things like this a dream.

Where is EPIC at anyway????

EPIC is available for online use only right now.  There are several agencies on it, but more to follow.  Willis Insurance should start rolling it out the end of this summer for some of their locations.  I believe that they will be hosting it on their own servers, but don't quote me on that.  That will be a HUGE user base when all of their users get on EPIC.

I wonder whether they will let you run sql quiries on your database. They are quite simple to change things around and you can control them nicely

Here is one I use to mass change abeyances that are open ( not closed ones as it does not touch them) from once CSR to another based on an alpha split. Use an SQL extension and run on the sql server.

UPDATE Abeyance
SET Abeyance.ProducerCode = 'MER'
FROM Abeyance LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      FolderDetails ON Abeyance.FolderID = FolderDetails.FolderID
WHERE     (Abeyance.ProducerCode = 'LAU') AND Abeyance.DateCompleted Is Null AND FolderDetails.FolderName Like '[A-M]%';

How many are you talking about? Only workaround I know is to use the Search facility and the Next button and go through the relevant cases manually chaning codes - I did this when we needed to get rid of a load of Prospects, changed the marketing code to DEL then could purge them all at once. Tedious job though.
