Typelist

Changes

Country

In 8.0, Guidewire implements the Country typelist consistently within the Guidewire core applications, including ContactManager. Compared with previous releases, Guidewire has changed the names of some countries on the typelist and added new country names. The names on the Country typelist reflect the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) country names.

Currency

Contains currency code and similar information for the supported currencies.

JurisdictionType

Although, PolicyCenter defines jurisdiction categories in this typelist, PolicyCenter 8.0 does not use any of the categories or types. Guidewire intends this typelist for use in future releases.

Guidewire has modified the base configuration State typelist to include state definitions for the following countries:

  • AU
  • CA
  • DE
  • JP
  • US

StateAbbreviation

Guidewire has added the StateAbbreviation typelist in 8.0. This typelist includes abbreviations for states in the following countries:

  • Australia
  • Canada
  • Germany
  • United States

The purpose of the typelist is to disambiguate abbreviations for state names that exist in multiple countries. For example, the abbreviation “WA” is used in the United States for the state of Washington and in Australia for the state of Western Australia.
