Attributes in mind map

When writing a policy, you may require specific information or answers to question about parts of the policy. You can model this information using attributes. For example, in a small business policy, you need to know whether the insured has been refused insurance in the past. On a building, you may need to know the number of stories. Attributes can be attached to various parts of the product, such as the product line, risk objects, and exposures. Attributes can impact the pricing of a policy and drive underwriting decisions.

In the mind map, you create topics for each attribute. To organize attributes, you can group these as subtopics under a common topic. Add markers to each topic indicating the type of attribute.

You can group related questions under a common topic. For example, a Vehicle Questions subtopic on the Vehicle coverage contains attributes that are questions about the vehicle. This is similar to, but not the same as, creating a question set.

The attribute marker types are:
