Specifying business rule conditions

On the Rule screen in Condition, you specify additional conditions that must be met for this rule to create an underwriting issue. In new rules, the default condition is AND, which means the rule fires if all the applicability criteria are met. You can replace this condition with your own.

The condition type can be one of the following:

  • None – Always fires when the rule is executed.
  • All of the following criteria must be true (AND) – All rows evaluate to true.
  • At least one of the following must be true (OR) – At least one row evaluates to true.
  • The following combination of criteria must evaluate to true (AND/OR) – Multiple rows can be combined by using AND, OR, and parentheses for grouping. The rows evaluate to true.

Each row requires a Left Expression followed by an Operation. The Right Expression is required except when the Operation is Is True, Is False, Has Value, or Has No Value.

So that you can more easily comprehend the condition, PolicyCenter displays a formatted view of the condition below the condition table.

Note: Avoid commas when using numerical values in business rules expressions. Use commas only in lists.

The following are examples of conditions:

  • Example of AND:
    vehicle.VehicleType = "Other" 
AND
vehicle.Vin.startsWith("FRE") Is True
  • Example of AND/OR: 
    vehicle.Vin.startsWith("FRE") Is True
OR
( vehicle.PrimaryDriver.PolicyDriver.DateOfBirth Is Not Equal To null 
AND 
vehicle.PrimaryDriver.PolicyDriver.Age < 25 )
