Subclauses in visualized product

You can create subclauses, or clauses with parent-child relationships, directly in Advanced Product Designer App or in a mind map that you bring into Advanced Product Designer App. For example, a coverage can have child coverages.
  • A clause can have zero or one parent clause
  • A clause can have multiple subclauses
  • You can create multiple levels of subclauses
  • A subclause and its parent must be of the same clause type.

    For example, an exclusion cannot be a subclause of a coverage. PolicyCenter displays a validation error if it encounters this when importing a mind map.

For example, a Personal Injury Protection coverage can have PIP Additional Benefits and PIP Medical Expense Limit child coverages. These child coverages appear as Subclauses on the Personal Injury Protection coverage. The PIP Additional Benefits coverage has a Work Loss child coverage.

Numeric option clause terms with calculated values

On parent clauses, terms of type number, decimal, or monetary amount, the minimum and maximum values can be fixed or calculated. If fixed, you specify the value. If calculated, the value can be the minimum, maximum, or sum of specified subclause terms of the same type underneath the parent clause.

On parent clauses, the minimum and maximum values for option clause terms can only be calculated. You must specify how the value is calculated.
