FAQ

XactAnalysis, a claims-processing application, and Xactimate, a claims-estimating application, are designed to complement each other.

After an insurance provider receives a claim, they create an assignment in XactAnalysis and send it to a service provider with an XactNet address. XactAnalysis sends an up-to-date, regionally specific price list along with the assignment.

After accepting the assignment, the service provider completes the required work and creates an estimate in Xactimate. When the service provider marks the estimate complete in Xactimate, it goes to the Xactimate Outbox. If you are using the desktop version of Xactimate, you must click Connect on the Xactimate Control Center Dashboard to send the estimate to XactAnalysis.

For more information about the XactAnalysis/Xactimate workflow, see Getting Started in the Interactive User's Guide.

The assignment workflow can vary based on unique circumstances. A standard workflow often follows these steps:

• A claim is reported to an insurance provider.
• An assignment is sent to a service provider. The service provider receives notification through his or her selected notification method.
• The assignment is completed by the service provider in Xactimate.
• The assignment data is uploaded to XactAnalysis SP and added to reports.
• The assignment data is returned to the insurance provider.
• The claim is resolved with the customer.

See Getting Started in the Interactive User’s Guide for more information about this workflow and other XactAnalysis features.

Contact Support to have the information updated.

The assignment may be in your XASP Assignment Queue.

When an insurance provider sends an assignment to your company, it is placed in the XASP Assignment Queue. This happens even if the insurance company has assigned it to a specific assessor or builder within your company. Use the XASP Assignment Queue to assign out work.

See XASP Assignment Queue in the Interactive User’s Guide for more information.

If the assignment has been assigned out of the XASP Assignment Queue, you may not have clicked Connect in Xactimate to receive the assignment.
