Select rate table in rate routine step

About this task

Rate tables are available in operands only. The rate table returns a value of the factor or factors in the matching row of the table. The factor data types are string, integer, decimal, Boolean, and date.

You can select a rate table and return value.

Procedure

  1. In a rate routine step, select Rate Table in the Operand field.
    PolicyCenter displays the Select a Rate Table screen.
  2. Select a Rate Table.

    You can select rate tables that match the rate routine’s line of business.

    After you select the rate table, the Arguments panel displays the rate table parameters. For each parameter, the Default Source column displays the default source of the parameter. The default source of the parameter comes from the Argument Sources tab of the Rate Table Definition screen.
  3. Select a default source set from the Argument Source Set drop-down list. This field only appears if the rate table definition contains more than one source set. The name of the selected source set appears between curly braces. For example, the Alternate Source source set is selected for the Base Rate table is table:Base Rate({Alternate Source}).
  4. Select a Return Value.
  5. Optionally, specify an override to the default argument source in the New Argument Source / Value column. This step is required if the rate table definition has not specified a default argument source.

    In rate table with multiple factors, you can select one factor or all factors. If you select all factors, the return value is a complex type composed of all the factors.
