What's New in Insights

Updated by Arianne G.

XactAnalysis Insights releases contain new features designed to improve your Insights experience. Highlights from the releases are listed below. For a complete list of changes, please see the release notes in the eService Center.

October 24, 2024

Transactions worksheet

You spoke—we listened! Based on your feedback, we added five columns to the Transactions worksheet:

  • Received Date
  • Risk Address
  • Risk City
  • Risk State
  • Risk ZIP Code

Received Date shows the date and time that XactAnalysis received an assignment. Risk Address, Risk City, Risk State, and Risk ZIP Code all work to show the location of the property damage.

We also replaced the Transaction Counts column with a new Transaction Quantity column. Unlike Transaction Counts, Transaction Quantity includes credits and, therefore, more accurately represents the number of transactions billed.

Transactions Contractor worksheet

We made two additions to the Transactions Contractor worksheet. Firstly, we added the same Received Date column mentioned above. Lastly, we added a new Unit Price column. Unit Price shows the same data as the unit prices or fees listed in the XactAnalysis Billing Report.

Liveboards

Billing (Contractor)

We’re happy to report that we made several requested improvements to the Billing (Contractor) liveboard. First, we moved the Billing Activity Details table from the bottom of the Overview tab to the top. Next, we added the XactAnalysis ID column to both the Billing Activity Details table and the Billing Activity Explore by Monthly Billing Month Year pivot table.

Finally, we added Unit Price to the Billing Activity Details table, the Billing Activity Explore by Monthly Billing Month Year pivot table, and the Claim Count by Estimate Value Range aggregate mini table.

We added two new columns! First, we added the Item Condition column to the Line Item, Line Item Summary, Contractor Line Item, and Industry Line Item Data worksheets. This column shows the condition of the item, such as Average, Above Average, Below Average, and New.

We also added an Item Calculation column. This column is available in the Line Item, Contractor Line Item, and Industry Line Item Data worksheets. It displays the information entered into the Calculation field in Xactimate.

Liveboards

Billing (Contractor)

Billing for XactAnalysis SP is transitioning to a new Customer Portal. Starting October 1, 2024, you will no longer be able to download invoices from the XactAnalysis Billing Report page. For billing data after September 2024, please use the new Billing (Contractor) liveboard in Insights!

This liveboard has the same data as the Billing report, along with additional visualizations and improved customizability! The Overview tab has multiple charts and tables, including Claim Count by Estimate Value Range, Estimate Value Range by Data Set and Claim Count, and Billing Activity Details.

The Aggregated Billing Activity tab hosts the Billing Activity by Monthly Billing Month Year visualization, which allows you to view aggregated data at the level of your choice.

Transaction Counts

In the Transaction Counts liveboard, we moved the Overall Counts by Monthly Billing Month Year table to a new Aggregated Overall Counts tab.

We also added a new Xpert tip video to help you learn how to use this liveboard!
August 28, 2024

Flood Analysis liveboard

We added a new Flood Analysis liveboard! This liveboard is divided into five tabs: Overview, Financials, Cycle Times, Estimatics, and Flood vs. Non-Flood.

Flood Analysis includes data from two different worksheets: Claims and Industry Data. The data is essentially the same but at different levels. As a result, two Received Date filters have been created, one per level, and will only affect visualizations from the same worksheet. The Received Date-Claims filter will only affect the Cycle Times by Data Set and the Cycle Times by ClaimXperience Used visualizations on the Cycle Times tab.

The Received Date-Industry filter will affect the rest of the visualizations in this liveboard, such as:

  • Total Severity – Company by Risk State
  • Category Code Breakdown Percent – Company by Total Line Item RCV
  • Flood Total Line Item RCV – Company by Category Groups

Transaction Counts liveboard

We also added a new Transaction Counts liveboard, which is based on the Excel management report of the same name in XactAnalysis. This liveboard displays information about billable transactions and events that you can monitor during the month. Some visualizations included in this liveboard are:

  • Overall Counts by Data Set
  • Received vs. Returned
  • Canceled vs. Completed
  • Average Claim Transaction Counts by Month

This liveboard’s data only goes back to August 1, 2024. For transaction data before that date, please continue using the Transaction Counts management report.

July 31, 2024

Search

We added a new Item Age column to the Line Item, Line Item Summary, and Industry Line Item Data worksheets. This column shows the age of a line item.

We also added the Depreciation Type column to the Industry Line Item Data worksheet. This column already existed in the Line Item worksheet, and it shows whether an item’s depreciation type is Amount, Percent, Age/Condition, or No Depreciation.

XactRebuild Analysis liveboard

We added a new XactRebuild Analysis liveboard! XactRebuild is a feature available for Xactimate Professional users; it streamlines the water mitigation claims process with automated rebuild estimates.

The XactRebuild Analysis liveboard has several visualizations, including XactRebuild Merged Assignment Count by Industry Type, Average XactRebuild RCV by Type of Loss, and XactRebuild Values Compared to First Completed Estimate RCV by Month.

XactXpert worksheets

Are you excited about XactXpert? So are we! XactXpert is a tool in Xactimate online that tracks errors in an estimate, such as missing information and other unmet requirements, and displays alerts to the user. To better serve you, we’ve added three XactXpert-specific worksheets to Insights.

First, the XactXpert Rule Alerts worksheet allows you to analyze basic XactXpert data such as Alert Type, Bypasser Name, and Rule Owner.

Next is the XactXpert Impact worksheet. This worksheet is at the claim level and reports on the resolve value. XactXpert Impact includes columns such as Financial Impact Percent, Resolve Absolute Value, Resolve Net Value, and more.

Finally, the XactXpert Line Item Summary Differences worksheet allows users to see the changes in line item quantities after a rule is resolved using XactXpert. For example, the ACV Differences column in this worksheet shows the change of the ACV between the XactXpert review and the completion of the estimate.

We also added a liveboard based off the XactXpert Line Item Summary Differences worksheet. This liveboard is called XactXpert Line Item Changes, and it includes helpful visualizations like Average ACV Differences by Month, Estimate Decreasing Selector Codes - Top 25 by RCV Impact, and Negative RCV Financial Impact by Data Set.

We added several new columns to Insights! First, we added the Final Returned Date and Original Returned Date columns to the Claims and Contractor Claims worksheets. Original Returned Date shows the date of the first estimate returned to XactAnalysis for an assignment, while Final Returned Date shows the date of the last estimate returned to XactAnalysis for an assignment.

Next, we added an Is Tarp Only column to the Claims worksheet. We designed this column for situations where assignments are generated to install a tarp on a damaged roof and nothing else. You can use Is Tarp Only to flag assignments that only contain tarping line items or that are over 80% tarping-related.

Finally, we added new Original Contacted Date and Final Contacted Date columns to the Line Item, Line Item Summary, Reinspections, and Reinspection Exception worksheets. Original Contacted Date shows the first date the customer or policyholder was contacted for an assignment, while Final Contacted Date shows the last date the customer or policyholder was contacted for an assignment.

Liveboards

We added a new Estimate Correction Summary liveboard! Based on the Estimate Correction Summary management report in XactAnalysis, this liveboard helps you track corrections on estimates and monitor the differences those corrections make in the final estimate value.

The liveboard contains three tabs: Overview, Financials, and Details. You can also filter the liveboard by data set, received date, job type, type of loss, and more.

Each tab hosts a variety of visualizations, including Average Correction Value by Month, Average Number of Corrections by Data Set, and Total Correction Difference in Value by Data Set.

New columns

We added five new XactRebuild columns! XactRebuild is a feature within Xactimate that allows users to create rebuild estimates based on the data from an existing water mitigation estimate. You can find these columns, described below, in the Claims and Contractor Claims worksheets:

  • XactRebuild Mitigation Project RCV
    • This displays the original mitigation project’s estimate amount.
  • XactRebuild Estimate Initial RCV
    • This displays the initial XactRebuild estimate amount.
  • XactRebuild Pre-merge Rebuild RCV
    • This displays the final XactRebuild estimate amount before merging.
  • Is XactRebuild
    • This indicates whether XactRebuild was used.
  • Is Merged XactRebuild
    • This indicates whether the estimate was merged in XactRebuild.

We also added a new Trade Count column to the Claims, Industry Claim Data, Contractor Claims, and Reinspections worksheets. This column shows the number of trades included in the estimate.

Other improvements

Previously, XactAnalysis QR users had access to one year of Insights data. We’re excited to now provide five years of data to XactAnalysis QR users!

Finally, the Form Name column is now available in the Line Item worksheet. This column was already included in the Claims, Line Item Summary, Reinspections, and Reinspection Exception worksheets. You can use this column to view a list of policy forms and endorsements.

We added several new columns to various worksheets in Insights! You can find nine of the new columns in the Claims and Reinspections worksheets:

  • Structural Estimate Amount
  • Other Structures Estimate Amount
  • Contents Estimate Amount
  • Structural Deductible Amount
  • Other Structures Deductible Amount
  • Contents Deductible Amount
  • Structural Policy Limit Amount
  • Other Structures Policy Limit Amount

These nine columns show the estimate amount, deductible, and policy limit for three common coverage types: structural, other structures, and contents.

We also added two new columns—Item Overhead Total Amount and Item Profit Total Amount—to the Line Item, Line Item Summary, Contractor Line Item, and Industry Line Item Data worksheets. These columns allow you to view overhead and profit at the line item level.

Finally, we added a Coverage Name column to the Line Item and Line Item Summary worksheets. This column displays the name attached to a coverage type in Xactimate.
