<AddressZoneValue> element

The <AddressZoneValue> element is a subelement of <Zone>. This element uses an expression to define how to extract the zone code from an Address entity. Use entity dot notation, such as Address.PostalCode, to define a value for this element. These expressions can be subsets of an element or a concatenation of elements.

PolicyCenter extracts a value from the address data that uses this element and matches the value against zone data in the database. For example, in the base configuration, PolicyCenter defines a <Zone> element of type postalcode for Canada. It looks similar to the following:

<Zone code="postalcode" fileColumn="1" unique="true">
    <AddressZoneValue> 
      Address.PostalCode 
    </AddressZoneValue>
</Zone>

Given this definition, PolicyCenter uses the value of the PostalCode field on the Address entity as the value of the postalcode zone.

Note: Guidewire recommends that you set this value even if there is a property defined on the Address entity that has the same name as the Zone name.
