Elements - System Administrator and User Guide - Hosted
Workspace

The workspace is where all primary collections activities are performed on clients, contacts and loans.

There are five different types of workspaces in Elements: Queue, Search, History, Dialer and Core Search. The only difference between these different types of workspaces is the way accounts are accessed.

The box to the left of the DQ indicator indicates the type of workspace that is open. Multiple Search and History workspaces can be open at the same time but only one Queue Workspace can be open at a time.

This topic contains an overview of the workspace.

The workspace contains the four sections described below.

1. Toolbar

The toolbar contains the following buttons.

Button Description
Click this button to refresh the information displayed in the workspace. 
Click this button to proceed to the next account in the queue and search workspaces.
If the Require Action on Workspace setting is set to Yes for a user's Security Profile, Next cannot be clicked unless a follow-up note is added or the follow-up date is advanced on the account currently open in the workspace. If Next is clicked without the addition of a follow-up note or follow-up date advance, an error is received stating an action must be performed before the user can proceed to the next account. This only applies to workspaces accessed through the Workspace button on the Home Dashboard. It does not apply to workspaces accessed through a Search.

This button is only available in the search workspace.

The Client Number, Branch Number, assigned Groups and Flags are also located in this section, as well as a Notepad that is a free-form text box to record any notes about the account and account holders.

This section also contains the following indicators and buttons.

Indicator/Button Description
The first indicator displays the type of workspace (Queue, Search, History, Dialer) that is currently opened.

The second indicator appears red when a loan is delinquent. It appears white when there are no delinquent loans.

The third indicator appears green when the real time connection to the core is active. It appears white when real time is not active.
