Specifying additional availability in Product Designer
If you have requirements for usage and availability that cannot be
specified using Advanced Product Designer, you can use the availability
features that Product Designer offers. For example, you can specify availability by policy
transaction (job) type in Product Designer but not in Advanced Product Designer. In Product Designer you can specify availability in:
- 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.
