CLAIMS DOCUMENT AND IMAGE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION
The ICBC Claims Document and Image System (CDIS) is designed to provide ICBC
claims staff and c.a.r. shop VALET participants the ability to upload and view digital
images and view estimating documents related to specific claims. Glass Express
participants have the ability to upload and view images related to glass claims only.
Digital Images
c.a.r. shop VALET participants are required to take digital images of vehicle damage for
each Express Repair estimate completed on ICBC‟s behalf. Glass Express participants
are required to take digital images on all claims processed. For complete information
on image and image retention requirements, please reference the Express Repair
Program Guide or Glass Express Service Program Guide.
The Claims Document and Image System has an upload size limit of 110kb maximum
per image. As such, all digital camera images should be taken at a minimum setting of
640 x 480. The Claims Document and Image System will resize all images to the 640 X
480 size format, including those images taken at a higher and lower resolution than 640
x 480. However, resizing will slightly increase the upload process time.
Note: ICBC may request images be captured at the higher 1024 x 768 resolution. In
these circumstances, your ICBC Claims Office will provide instructions for image
transfers to ICBC.
Documents
c.a.r. shop VALET participants can view estimate and supplement reports via the CDIS
application. Estimates created using Audatex PenPro are viewable in a text format
whereas estimates created using Audatex Estimating are viewable as „PDF‟ files.
