Short descriptions of all profile features
Profile features are functions that can be added to estimates in your profile. They can affect many parts of your projects, such as what fields are included, the data available in certain reports, required information about the insured, and more.
Profile features can be added from our library of features, or new features can be custom-made specifically for your profile.
Note: To learn more about profile features, add them to your profile, or request a custom feature, reach out to your Verisk account manager.
