Accessing reference information

Guidewire provides API reference information that you can use to obtain additional information about the Gosu APIs and their methods and parameters. There are two ways to access this information:

• Access the Gosu API reference as described in Gosu generated documentation (Gosudoc). Use the Search functionality to find information on an API, or expand the API list and select a field, parameter or method to view.
• Click a method name in a line of code and press CTRL+Q. A pop-up window opens and displays information about that method, including information about its parameters.

The Gosu API reference window contains a search pane, a contents tree, and a display area.

• The contents tree displays a tree view of the type system, organized by package.
• The search pane contains a text field for search terms, a button to clear the text field, a search button, and a re-index button. It also includes an indication of the time of the last indexing operation.

If the reference has never been indexed, then index it before proceeding.

Guidewire provides the Guidewire PolicyCenter PCF Format Reference that you can use to obtain information about PCF widgets and their attributes. To access the reference guide, in your file system, open the file PolicyCenter/modules/pcf.html.

You can view the Gosu Reference Guide in the Guidewire PolicyCenter documentation set.
