Product editions

Product editions define product model properties and subclause relationships for product lines. Each product line has a Base edition that defines product model properties and subclause relationships for the base product line. You can use product editions to introduce changes to the product after a product has gone into production. Typically, products start out with only the Base edition. Create additional editions if there is a filing or other business reason to change the product as of a certain effective date.

  • The Base edition defines product model properties for the product line.
  • Editions have an effective date.
  • Editions have an expiration date.
  • You can create different editions based on the values of certain dimensions, such as jurisdiction, brand, channel, partner, organization, and business type.
With product editions, you can:
  • Change an insurance product line after it has gone into production
  • Load product model properties into an installed product
In a policy transaction, either with installed or visualized product, PolicyCenter selects the edition based on the Effective Date, the Expiration Date, and the Segment Details.
