Product editions

Note: If you add an edition, you can make changes to product model properties for that edition. Added editions do not inherit from previous editions.

Product editions define product model properties and subclause relationships for product lines. Each product line has a Base edition that defines product model properties and subclause relationships for the base product line. You can use product editions to introduce changes to the product after a product has gone into production. Typically, products start out with only the Base edition. Create additional editions if there is a filing or other business reason to change the product as of a certain effective date.

  • The Base edition defines product model properties for the product line.
  • Editions have an effective date.
  • Editions have an expiration date.
  • You can create different editions based on the values of certain dimensions, such as jurisdiction, brand, channel, partner, organization, and business type.
With product editions, you can:
  • Change an insurance product line after it has gone into production
  • Load product model properties into an installed product
In a policy transaction, either with installed or visualized product, PolicyCenter selects the edition based on the Effective Date, the Expiration Date, and the Segment Details.
