In this article, we cover how to leverage the Verisk + HOVER integration by starting in XactAnalysis from the web*, manually creating HOVER jobs through the user interface.
NOTE: All Xactimate screenshots reference the desktop version, X1. Some differences will exist if using Xactimate Online (XOR).
NOTE: The workflow outlined below shows the minimum amount of information required for the integration to function. You may need to enter more information for your specific process than is covered here.
*Unlike using XactAnalysis with the automated process (aka EDI file), using XactAnalysis in this way means an admin or a desk adjuster is manually assigning a claim to an adjuster and requesting data from HOVER upfront.
Creating HOVER Claim from XactAnalysis on the Web
Depending on the structure of the organization, the following steps may be completed by an admin or desk adjuster, beforehand. If the assignment has already been created, skip to the heading: Capturing a Property in HOVER.
Sign in to XactAnalysis on the web
Click on the assignment menu on the top right corner
Click on send work assignment
Enter in the property address and claim number
Click Submit
Verify the information and click submit assignment
Click Go directly to this assignment in XactAnalysis
On the "Select an Action" drop-down menu, click either assign or edit/assign
Identify which adjuster should be tied to the claim
Click Submit
Verify the information and click the Send Assignment button
Click Back To Assignment Detail
On the action drop-down menu, click export to HOVER
