Adding availability lookup tables for coverages

Lookup tables store information about coverage and coverage term availability. The final step in enabling a new coverage is to add information about the new coverage to the lookup table. The lookup table has separate definitions for:

• Coverages
• Coverage Terms
• Coverage Term Options
• Coverage Term Packages

The standard lookup tables use effective and expiration dates (by default), jurisdictions, and underwriting companies to control availability. If you need availability to be based upon other criteria, you can extend the lookup table. For information on extending the lookup table, see Extending an availability lookup table and Use the updated availability column.

The lookup table defines the precedence rules for availability. The lookup table also specifies how the lookup values can be linked from the item using the value path.
