Argument Sources tab of Rate Table Definition screen

In the Rate Table Definition screen, use the Argument Sources tab to specify one or more argument source sets. An argument source set specifies default argument sources for columns in the rate table definition. The default argument source is provided as a convenience for adding rate tables in a rate routine step. If you include a rate table in a rate routine step, and that rate table has a single argument source set, that source set automatically provides the default argument sources. If the rate table has more than one argument source set, you can select which source set to use. For each parameter, you can override the default argument source.

In the Source of Argument Objects field, specify the parameter set for this rate table definition. In the Objects Available for Arguments field, PolicyCenter displays the parameters in the selected parameter set.

For each source set in the Source panel, the Parameter Name represents a column in the rate table definition. These columns (or parameters) are defined on the Parameters tab in the Rate Table Definition screen. For each parameter in the rate table, you can specify the Argument Source. The drop-down list for the Argument Source displays the entities accessible from the parameters that match the Data Type. The Argument Source list is also filtered by the value provider typelist specified on the Parameters tab.

In the Source panel, click Add Source Set to add another source set. If you have more than one source set, the first source set has Name set to Default and Code set to DEFAULT. Guidewire suggests that you change the name and code from Default and DEFAULT to more descriptive values. You can change these values as long as the rate table is neither in a promoted rate book nor in a rate routine.

You cannot delete or edit an argument source set if it is used in a rate table lookup in a rate routine. Every rate table definition must have an argument source set.

For examples in the sample data, see the BaseRate and DeductibleFactor rate table definitions.
