Drop-down lists in visualized product

Drop-down lists let you choose an option from a predefined list of choices. You can add drop-down lists to risk objects and exposures. You can also add drop-down lists to clauses (coverages, conditions, and exclusions), to create option and package clause terms.

In Advanced Product Designer, you can:
  • Define new drop-down lists in visualized products.
  • Add, remove, and modify drop-down list items.
  • Use drop-down lists defined elsewhere in the current product. Select Owning Attribute of shared code lists on the Drop-Down Definition popup.
  • In Developer mode, access drop-down lists defined in PolicyCenter.

Import from mind map

You can model drop-down lists in a product mind map and import them into Advanced Product Designer. In Advanced Product Designer, you can create and modify drop-down lists.

When you import a mind map with drop-down lists on risk objects, the list items become text in the visualized product regardless of whether they were modeled as Decimal, Number, or Money. This includes drop-down lists on the product line.

Clause terms

You can use drop-down lists to model clause terms in the visualized product.

When you import a mind map with clause terms, Decimal, Number, and Money values can be preserved.
