Homeowners field validation

Most of the fields in the homeowners wizard are required for rating but relatively few are marked as required in the user interface. The user interface accommodates cases in which some of the required information is missing when you initially begin a policy submission job. In the base configuration, navigating away from a screen invokes field-level validation and warns you about fields that are required for rating. You can safely ignore these warnings and repeat the navigation to move to another screen. However, when you request a quote, field-level validation repeats to ensure that all rating-required fields are populated. At this point, PolicyCenter displays errors for any missing required values. You must correct these errors before quoting can proceed.

In the base configuration, homeowners includes the following validation classes:

  • HOPLineValidation
  • HOPDwellingValidation
  • HOPCoveragePartValidation
  • HOPCoveragesValidation
