Coverage pattern overview

A coverage pattern holds all the configuration information for a particular type of Coverage associated with a Policy Line. For example, the WCEmpLiabCov coverage pattern holds the configuration information associated with the Workers’ Compensation Employers Liability coverage.

The following are important parts of a coverage pattern definition:

• The name and description.
• The coverage category which this coverage is associated with.
• The coverable, the object that this coverage covers.
• The terms of the coverage captured through the coverage term pattern.
• The existence of the coverage pattern on the policy line pattern. Existence can be required, suggested, or electable.
• The availability of the coverage pattern. The availability is based on a combination of lookups, a Gosu expression, grandfathering, and offerings.
• The Initialization script Gosu script, which runs when a user selects a coverage in the PolicyCenter interface.
• The Removal script Gosu script, which runs when a user removes a coverage in the PolicyCenter interface.
