The retail agent access main menu controls the primary features that agents can access through the retail agent access portal.
To Set Up Main Menu Features

On the Attachments screen, selections are available to determine to whom and what type of notification is sent regarding client activity on the Attachments screen. Nexsure will create a notification if any of the following are true:
- Agent uploads an attachment.
- Agent deletes an attachment.
- Primary assignment on the account: Select Action and / or Email to designate the method by which attachment activity is communicated to the primary assignment on the account.
Note: A notification will always be sent to a staff member. Once a role is selected for notification, if there is no staff member assigned to that role a notification will go to the primary assignment even if no notifications were selected for that role. For example, an account manager is set up to receive notification but there is no account manager for the agency. In this case, a notification will be sent to the primary assignment even though no notification was set up for them.
- Other Assignments: Click [Add New] to add other staff members to which notifications can be sent. The Add Recipient dialog box is displayed.
