The Entity Path column

Use only actual columns in the database as members of the Entity Path value. You must declare an actual database column in metadata, in an actual definition file. If you do not define a column in metadata, then PolicyCenter labels that entity column (field) as virtual in the PolicyCenter Data Dictionary.

Thus:

  • You cannot use ClaimContactRole fields in the Entity Path, such as Exposure.Incident.Injured. This is because the Injured contact role on Incident does not have a denormalized column.
  • You can, however, use special denormalized fields for certain claim contacts, such as Exposure.ClaimantDenorm or Claim.InsuredDenorm. The description of the column indicate which ClaimContactRole value it denormalizes.
