Address modes in page configuration

PolicyCenter uses a modal PCF file for all addresses, GlobalAddressInputSet. Modal versions of the global address PCF file determine the order of fields in addresses of specific countries.

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the following modal versions of GlobalAddressInputSet.

Modal Address PCF File

Country

GlobalAddressInputSet.BigToSmall
  • Japan

GlobalAddressInputSet.PostCodeBeforeCity
  • France
  • Germany

GlobalAddressInputSet.default
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • Great Britain
  • United States

To see the GlobalAddressInputSet PCF files, open Guidewire Studio™ and navigate in the Project window to configuration > config > Page Configuration > pcf > address.

Mapping Countries to Modes

A country maps to a mode through the settings in country.xml.

Controlling Field Properties

Each modal PCF file uses an implementation of the Gosu interface AddressOwner to control the following field properties:

  • available
  • editable
  • required
  • visible

Gosu Address Formatter

PolicyCenter uses Gosu class AddressFormatter to format the address display fields. You can extend AddressFormatter to handle additional countries.
