Unbound policy revisions
All legally-binding versions of a policy are kept as a series of ordered revisions in the database. However, PolicyCenter also stores revisions that are not part of the official legally-binding history of the policy.
Examples of unbound branches include:
- Branches for unfinished jobs, such as in-process policy changes. These are sometimes called draft revisions or in-progress revisions.
- Withdrawn policy changes, withdrawn by selecting Withdraw Policy Transaction before changes were bound.
- Rescinded cancellations (before changes were bound)
- Unbound versions (unselected versions) of a multi-version quoting job. At most one version can be bound for a job.
Non-bound revisions are stored in the same database
tables as bound revisions, differing only in their Promoted property. If the Promoted property value is true, it was made legally binding.
However, it may not be the only one in that period. The branch with the
highest model number is the enforced branch for that contractual period,
which is found most easily by using the Boolean property MostRecentModel.
