Adding & Managing Policy and Account Values

Values for Policies and Accounts

Values (formerly known as registers) represent the different types of values you can store for a given account or policy. For example, specific types of life insurance policies may capture the Premium, Cash Value, and Accumulation Value of the policy.

Swivel comes pre-configured with the following Values:

  • Cash Value
  • Face Value
  • Surrender Value
  • Death Benefit
  • Account Value
  • Total Premium
  • Annual Premium
  • Monthly Premium

Values display on the Product section of the contact’s page as well as their Swivel Summary.
