Configuring default values for assignment type and value offset amount

For an underwriting rule, Default Value Assignment Type is used if the value comparator is At least, At least (monetary), or At most. In turn, if Default Value Assignment Type is Offset Amount, the Default Value Offset Amount and Default Value Offset Currency are used. These fields correspond to properties on the UWIssueType object.

You can extended this default setting behavior for other numeric types. Positive offsets reflect increased underwriting risk for the at least and at most comparators. For example, the At most comparator can be used for determining the risk associated with the value of a car. If the authority grant provides default approval at $100,000 with 10% offset, the user can approve a car whose value is as high as $110,000. The At least comparator can be used for determining the risk of a deductible. If the authority grant provides default approval for at least $1000, with 10% offset, then the user can approve a deductible as low as $900.
