This job aid will guide a user through utilizing the new Smartpicks feature when estimating a loss from a Floorplan. Smartpicks is a feature that must be enabled for your company and is also dependent on using a USDC database dated February 2026 and beyond. The job aid describes how to access Smartpicks and use the tool to help accelerate and streamline the estimating process by determining appropriate line items to add to an estimate based on certain criteria – room type, peril type and loss province/state.
Note: This document was created using a demo insurance company with generic settings. Keep in mind that your screens may appear slightly different. Please refer to your specific carrier guidelines for proper claim and estimate settings.
