Creating entities that define the new subtypes

Create extension files for entities that define the new contact role subtypes. There must be subtypes for both the AuditContactRole at the account level (a subtype of AccountContactRole) and at the policy level (a subtype of PolicyContactRole).

• In this example, these contacts have no extra properties beyond the standard contact properties.
• If you need additional properties, define these in your subtype definition. Use the account contact subtype, AuditContact, to define any properties beyond the standard contact properties that you want to be the same across policies. Use the policy contact subtype, PolicyAuditContact, to define any properties that change across policies. In either case, the properties can change across policy revisions. If at any given time you want the value of the property to be different on two different policies, then configure the property at the policy level.
• If this is a new field, append _Ext to the field name avoid name conflicts with base PolicyCenter entities. See Defining a new data entity.

In this procedure, you create two new entities as shown in the following diagram:

• A new PolicyAuditContact entity that is a subtype of PolicyContactRole.
• A new AuditContact entity that is a subtype of AccountContactRole.
