The Newton by Agency Systems design focuses on anticipating what users might need to do, and ensures that the interface has elements that are easy to access, understand, and use to facilitate those actions. Even with an intuitive user interface, it is important to provide a flexible list of options based on the unique needs of each user.
With the latest release of Newton, there are a number of new user preferences which can be modified to work best with the unique workflows that each user follows every day. The new expanded user preferences were designed to improve flexibility and accessibility for our diverse range of customers.
How do I access the user preferences?
Each user can modify a number of options specific to their Newton operator code. Select Other -> Preferences from the main menu.
Newton WikiCan I expand the contacts or policies client bands by default?
