It serves as a vital tool for maintaining transparency and accountability in the claim management process.
Users can navigate the Claim Applet to perform various actions, such as submitting new claims, splitting claims, reviewing claim histories, and generating detailed reports. The applet is structured to cater to both claimants and supervisors, ensuring that every step of the claim cycle is intuitive and well-documented.

Side Menu
The Side Menu, located on the left, is the main navigation panel for the Claim Applet. It is divided into two primary sections: Claimant and Supervisor.
Claimant Section:
My Claim: This subsection allows claimants to manage their claims, including creating new claims, tracking the status of submitted claims, and reviewing historical data.
Line Reports: Provides a detailed breakdown of claims submitted by the user. Users can apply filters and search parameters to find specific claims efficiently.
Engagement Report: Enables users to generate engagement-specific reports. Users can refine results by applying filters like companies, job groups, or approval dates, and export these reports for further analysis.
Supervisor Section:
Pending Approvals: Supervisors use this subsection to view and act on claims submitted by their team members. This feature supports batch approvals and detailed claim verification.
Staff Reports: Supervisors access aggregated data on claim submissions within their teams, enabling effective monitoring of trends, anomalies, and compliance.
Non-Reimbursable Reports: Displays claims that are flagged as non-reimbursable, allowing supervisors to assess and manage these entries separately.
The Side Menu offers a well-structured navigation experience, ensuring quick access to relevant features based on user roles.
Claim Dashboard
The Claim Dashboard, positioned at the top center of the interface, provides an overview of claim statuses. It includes the following metrics:
Draft: Number of claims saved but not submitted.
Submitted: Claims sent for approval but awaiting action.
Approved: Claims reviewed and authorized by supervisors.
Closed: Finalized claims that have been fully processed.
This dashboard allows users to quickly assess the current state of their claims and identify any required actions. Real-time updates ensure accuracy and transparency in the claim process.
Claim Header
The Claim Header, located beneath the Claim Dashboard, serves as a comprehensive summary of all submitted claims. It provides a structured, tabular view where users can easily track their claims’ progress and details. The key elements displayed include the Claim ID, Claimant, Claim Title, Created Date, and Status.
This section is vital for users to:
Quickly locate and review the status of any claim.
