Option clause terms

Option clause terms let you choose from a predefined list of options. Option terms can have labels like 100, 500, or Statutory. Each option term has a numeric value. In the visualized product you can set the return value for each term. The term labeled 100 might return 100 or a multiplier of 100. The Statutory term also returns a numeric value.

To view option clause terms in Advanced Product Designer App, go the coverage, condition, or exclusion, and select View Details then select Edit Clause Terms on the Element details panel to display the Clause Terms Definition page. The terms are listed in a table. Edit a clause term and select Edit Drop-down on the Element details panel to view the Drop-Down Definition page. The option clause terms have a Value column. The label Value is editable. Change Value to an appropriate short name for the clause term options.

Mind map

The following mind map shows coverages with Number, Decimal, and Monetary Amount option coverage terms. Coverages clause category has Number Liability, Decimal Liability, and Monetary Liability coverage children. Number Liability has Number Options drop-down list with children 1 and 5 numbers. Decimal Liability has Decimal Options drop-down list with 49.95 and 99.95 decimal children. Monetary Liability has Monetary Options drop-down list with 500.00 and 1000.00 monetary amount children.

APD App product

When you create a new product by importing a mind map into Advanced Product Designer App, Money, Number, and Decimal list items are imported as option clause terms.

When you import or update the mind map, the topic text of option clause terms becomes the Label and Short name. For example, 49.95 and 99.95 become the Label and Short name of the drop-down list items. If the marker type is Money in the mind map, you can set the Currency in the drop-down item Element details.

In the Drop-Down Definition, the Type is Option. If the list item marker type is Money in the mind map, the clause term Value defaults to Money type in the APD App product. If the marker type is Number or Decimal, the clause term Value defaults to Other. You can change the Value to a more appropriate type such as Count, Days, Hours, Money, or Percent.

Changing Text markers to option clause terms

For option clause terms with text labels, Guidewire recommends that you use the marker appropriate for the value, such as Number, Decimal, or Monetary Amount in the mind map. Text items do not import by default to option clause terms in the APD App product. However, if the mind map has Text markers for the option clause terms, you can change them to option clause terms in the APD App product.

If the marker type is Text in the mind map, then the drop-down list defaults to a typelist in the APD App product. Change this to an option clause term on the Drop-Down Definition by changing Drop-down Type from Typelist to Package Option. The Value name is editable. Change Value name to an appropriate short name for the clause term options.
