Involved party creates a contact field on the policy. Contact details include name, phone number, address, and other information. When viewing the Contacts for the policy, these contacts have the Involved Party role. The Involved Party marker in a mind map becomes an involved party contact.

Category

Categorizes risk attributes into sections. Sections are used in the user interface to group risk attribute questions.

Is Identifier
The identifier helps to identify one risk object from another in a list of risk objects. The Risk Details screen in a policy transaction lists the risks on the policy. In the list of risk objects (Risk Name), the identifier appears after name of the risk object. For example, on Pet risk objects, the Pet Name text field is the identifier. In a policy with pets named Fido and Peony, Risk Name shows the two risks:
  • Pet: Fido
  • Pet: Peony

Identifier fields directly on a policy line do not appear in a policy transaction.

Jurisdiction

Check this box if this attribute represents a location that is a coverable; do not check this box for an attribute that indicates the location at which a coverable is stored. For example, for the GarageLocation property on PersonalAuto vehicles, do not check this box.

Checking this box has implications for how APIs are generated for the coverable. If this box is checked, the link from the coverable to the associated PolicyLocation is hidden in the API, and it is not possible to change the linked PolicyLocation once the coverable has been created. Instead, all of the standard PolicyLocation fields such as addressLine1 and city are inlined directly onto the schema for the coverable, and they write through to modify the linked PolicyLocation. In addition, code is added to the APIs to ensure that the location is unique on the policy, and that there are not two coverables created that link to the same PolicyLocation.

Split By Rating Periods This field can have split rating periods. Split rating periods create separate rating periods for dates selected by the user.
Scalable Whether to use basis-scalable rating. When selected, the basis is scaled automatically before and after the split date. You can also manually scale the basis by editing the field values. This field is enabled if you select Split By Rating Periods, and Type is Number, Decimal (14,2), or Monetary amount.
