Activate a Predictive Analytics solution

Your Predictive Analytics license provides for the activation of a single offering in a single Predictive Analytics category as an embedded analytics solution within Guidewire PolicyCenter.

About this task

Initially, the Analytics Manager screen is empty of content. You must actively load an analytics solution into the workspace for the solution to become accessible for activation, enablement, and configuration.
Important: The initial values shown for a Guidewire analytics solution are for demonstration purposes only. You must obtain valid production values from Guidewire to activate a fully functioning Predictive Analytics solution. Each analytics solution that you license requires different activation information.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the following location in Guidewire PolicyCenter:
    • Administration > Analytics Manager
  2. Select More in the Analytics Manager screen.
  3. Select Import Sample Solution.
  4. Select a category to see the available offerings for that category.
  5. Select the Predictive Analytics solution that you want to activate.
    The Analytics Manager screen displays a table row for the analytics solution that you selected.
  6. In the summary table, select the solution name to open the Solutions Details screen for that solution.
  7. Select Edit.
  8. Chose whether to set Enabled to Yes or No.
    You must enable a Guidewire analytics solution before its specific content can show in the PolicyCenter application screens.
  9. In the Analytics Manager screen, review the following tabs and update as necessary:
    Appearance Sets whether to show the solution summary and solution details in the affected application screens.

    To access the choices available under Display Solution Details, first select the check box next its name. Set the Yes/No value for each individual choice. A value of Yes enables that content to show in the relevant PolicyCenter screen.

    Credentials Enter the Guidewire-supplied URL and authentication token values.
    Applicability Select either All or Selected:
    • All means that the analytics solution applies to all of the listed claim details.
    • Selected allows you to selectively choose the parts of the claim details to which the analytics solution applies.
    Input Variables Update the variable definitions to provide meaningful results. The variables listed on this tab must exist. Do not delete any of the variables. This means that if the tab lists ten variables, the analytics solution expects those ten variables to exist with those specific names. However, the default definitions that Guidewire provides for these variables are for demonstration purposes only.

    In the base configuration, Guidewire provides the Gosu classes that support the demonstration expressions. If you modify the base configuration expressions, you may need to extend the existing Gosu classes or to add additional Gosu classes to support your custom expressions.

    See Create a custom Predictive Analytics solution for the location of the Gosu backing classes in Guidewire Studio.
    Note: Guidewire also calls input variables "influence factors".
    Submissions Read-only information on the submissions processed by this particular Predictive Analytics solution.
  10. Save your work after you complete your edits.
