Extending the client data model

The techniques required to extend the client data model are essentially the same as those required to extend the vendor data model.

The primary differences are:

• The client data model includes only the Contact, Person, and Company entities.
• All three core Guidewire applications use client data. If you have more than one core application installed, you must apply your extension changes to all the applications. For example, you have installed the entire InsuranceSuite set of applications. If you extend the client data model in PolicyCenter and ContactManager, you must also extend it in ClaimCenter and BillingCenter.
• PolicyCenter and BillingCenter PCF files are different from those of ClaimCenter.
