Defining option clause terms in mind map

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.

In a mind map, you can define option clause terms in a drop-down list by attaching a drop-down list to a Coverage, Condition, or Exclusion. Add the option clause terms as topics under the drop-down list. The terms can be Monetary Amount, Number, or Decimal, but must all be of the same type.

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.

The following mind map shows coverages with Number, Decimal, and Monetary Amount option coverage terms.
