Advanced Product Designer versus Product Designer

You can start developing your product with Advanced Product Designer, and finalize your work on the product model using Product Designer.

Product Designer provides greater access to the product model. Product Designer provides additional capabilities such as the ability to:

Use a script to determine whether a clause can be added to the policy
Perform an action when a clause is added or removed

While Advanced Product Designer lets you model availability for product model properties, Product Designer provides additional availability features, such as:

Availability scripts: Gosu scripts that can capture complex logic.
Grandfathering: Continue to offer a coverage or other pattern to existing customers, even if the pattern is not otherwise available.
Offerings: Enable or disable product model patterns for different sales or customer situations.
Availability lookup tables: Specify whether or not a given pattern is available based on date, jurisdiction, industry code, transaction type, underwriting company, among others.

Note: When possible, use the features provided in Advanced Product Designer. Only use Product Designer for requirements that Advanced Product Designer does not provide. For example, specify minimum and maximum values and availability in Advanced Product Designer when possible.
