Introduction: Unprocessed Claims are claims whose status is not yet marked as 'Billed'.

Filter Icon:
This icon is placed at the top-left corner. Clicking the Filter icon displays the Filters popup. This popup contains System-Defined Filters, which are default saved filters, as well as Independent Filters. Click the Add New Filter icon to invoke the Ad-Hoc Filter popup to customize filters that might not be a part of the System Filters. These fields are configurable. An applied filter shows a green dot on the Filter icon for indication; simultaneously, a blue-colored badge for the applied filter is also shown.

Sort: The system facilitates the sorting of claims based on the chosen sequence in the popup. Click the Sort button to invoke the Sort Criteria popup. Within this popup, you can select your preferred sorting option, whether in Ascending or Descending order.

Manage Columns: Manage Columns is an additional filter which enables the user to select the required columns. You can customize the columns and analyze details on the screen. After clicking the Manage Columns icon, a selection box is displayed, which has two columns - Available Columns and Selected Columns. Available Columns are the total available columns from where you can select columns to be displayed on the screen. Simply click on the arrow (→ or ←) to move them to either side. On clicking the right arrow →, the respective column name is added to Selected Columns. After selecting the preferred columns, click the Apply button to save the changes, which are then reflected on the screen. The Select Checkbox and Claim ID fields available under the Selected Columns are grayed out and you cannot remove these two columns from the screen. The arrows are shown grayed out with a lighter shade, which prevents users from changing the position of the fixed columns.
