What's new

Viewing a demonstration

Reviewing new perils

You now can review details on the following perils:
  • Smoke, which provides measures of severity, both quantitative (mg/m2) and qualitative (Low Smoke, Moderate Smoke, Extreme Smoke).
  • Satellite tornado, which provides the Enhanced Fujita scale value, the number of injuries, and the number of fatalities. The presence of a satellite tornado precedes a verified touchdown and can be present even when no touchdown occurs.

Interacting in new ways

An improved user interface opens on a screen that offers four search modes for learning the locations of claims and policies. In particular, the new Point Location option enables you to specify a latitude-longitude pair such as 36.002304, -78.940317 or a street address or business name, along with a date range and radius, and to review the weather events that occurred within those parameters.

The four search modes:

In addition, you can learn the distance between two points that you draw on a map, as described in Measure distance.

Experiencing the Jutro Digital Platform

The revised Canvas interface is built on the Jutro Digital Platform, providing a better look and feel as well as consistency with other Guidewire applications. Among the interactions:
  • To search for one or more entries in a list, start typing into a search bar. The search reviews content in every column in the table, including columns that you've hidden.
  • To reorder entries in an onscreen table, select a table header.
  • To change the appearance of the table, move to the top of the screen, select the gear icon, and respond to a dialog that enables you to do as follows:
    • To display or hide a column, select or clear the related check box.
    • To change the position of a table column, move to the right of the column name and select an up or down arrow.
