Filter By Select if the filter value should be taken from a Field within the workflow, or if it should be a Constant Value.

Field This field is enabled when Field is selected as the Filter By option. Select a field from the workflow that will provide the filter value.

All filters applied to the same column, including fields that can have multiple options selected, will be handled as "Or" conditions. This means that if data matches any one of the conditions, it will pass the filters.

If more than one column in the table has filters, then the columns will be handled as "And" conditions. This means that each filtered column must pass at least one of its filters, or the row will not be included.

Notes:The field must be on the same screen as the associated combo box. However, you can use a calculated field on the same screen that refers to a field on another screen.

Date Picker, Rich Text, and Textbox (Email) fields are not available.

Constant Value This field is enabled when Constant Value is selected as the Filter By option. Enter the value to be used in filtering the column.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

23Table of Contents

Notes:Whether a filter is based on a constant value or a field, the data must match the condition exactly in order to pass the filter.

Any numerical fields should be formatted as text. Any extra characters, such as thousands separators or currency symbols, might not match the regional formatting of the user's browser, preventing a match.

If a field used as a filter is changed, the combo box will be cleared. If multiple combo boxes are chained together, each serving as a filter for the next, changing one field will clear all dependent fields.

The Output to Fields option can overwrite a field used as a filter. In such a configuration, the combo box control should be set to Manual Search Mode instead of Automatic. This will prevent unnecessary repetition in the lookups.

Click Save & New to save the filter and clear the form to enter a new filter, click Save & Close to save the filter and close the window, or click Close to close the window without saving the filter.

Click Delete to delete the filter and close the window.

The Display Columns are the columns displayed to the user when they click on the lookup field. At least one Key Column should be included to provide unique entries, but additional columns can be included to provide information.

When using Checkbox, Drop Down, or Radio Buttons as the output, the data table must have the Codes for the individual options list items, and not the Labels.

The output can be sent to another Combo Box. If the target combo box is set to Manual Search Mode, the text will be entered and the user can then trigger the search. If the target is set to Automatic Search Mode, the search will initiate immediately and a single matching result will be selected. If an automatic search yields more than one result, no selection will be made.

1. Create a new Excel file or modify an existing file that has all of the table information.

The first row must be the header, with column names for the value and each condition. Note that the word "column" must not be used in the header name. The system supports up to 10 conditions, for a total of 11 columns (last column is K).

The first column must be the value, and cannot contain opening or closing brackets ( ) or the dollar sign $.

The remaining columns contain the conditions in the order they are used in the $Lookup() function. The maximum length for any value or condition is 80 characters, and cannot contain opening or closing brackets ( ), the dollar sign $, single or double quotes ' ", returns \r, new lines \n, or commas ,.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

60Table of Contents

The system supports up to 65,536 rows, including the header.

2. Once the table is complete, save the file as Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls). Files of type .xlsx are not supported. Any valid file name can be used.

Notes: When uploading the Excel file, the system stores the data as it appears in the sheet. If any formatting has been applied that alters the appearance of the data, such as date or number formatting, the lookup conditions must match that formatting, and the reply value should be expected in the formatted style.

For this reason, numerical values should not be formatted with thousands dividers, and only periods should be used for the decimal separator.

For best results, format all cells as Text. This ensures that all data is stored exactly as it is expected.

Uploading Lookup Tables

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Lookup Tables. A list of all available tables is displayed.

2. Click Create. The Lookup Table Management page opens.

4. Click Add to save the lookup table but remain on the page, click Add & Close to save the lookup table and return to the table list, or click Close to return to the table list without saving the lookup table.

Once the lookup table is saved, the Versions and Status panels become available.

Each lookup table can have multiple versions, effective within a specific period. When a lookup is performed, the Effective Date of the transaction determines which table version is used. If more than one table is in effect for the date, the most recently created version is used.

Last Modified By Identifies the last date and time the table version was changed, and the user who made the changes.

8. To add additional table versions, repeat steps 5 to 7.

Tip: The table version should contain the same number of conditions as used in the $Lookup() function. If the function includes more conditions than exist in the table, the function does not return any value. If the table includes more conditions than are used in the function, the function returns the first value that matches the conditions. If it is necessary to change the number of conditions used in a lookup, while maintaining compatibility with previous versions, there are some options.

If conditions are being added, the older table versions can be modified to include the new condition columns with values that are always included, and then be added in place of the original tables. If conditions are being removed, the new version can include the extra condition columns.

The $If() function can be used to adjust the $Lookup() conditions to find the correct table version, or even a different lookup table entirely.

9. Click Save to save the lookup table but remain on the page, click Save & Close to save the lookup table and return to the table list, or click Close to return to the table list without saving the lookup table.

Workflow Configurations

The Bridge system allows the submission and claims processes to be completely built and customized to the exact needs of the licensee. Different products can have similar workflows, with just a few minor differences, or follow entirely unique paths, all within the same system.

A workflow is built in stages. Fields are created and grouped into panels, panels are assembled into screens, and screens are assigned to workflows. Workflows are divided into steps, with one or more screens per step.

When a new workflow is created, or when changes are made to an existing workflow, it must then be Published to make the workflow or changes available for use. This allows extensive changes to be made to a workflow without interrupting live users, then applying all changes in one action.

Managing Fields Creating individual fields to be included in the workflow.

Managing Panels Defining panels to group one or more related fields.

Managing Panels

Panels are used to collect multiple fields, usually related, into a group for use in the workflow.

Panels are also used to define specific behaviors depending on a variety of factors such as the status of the submission or policy, the type of business, or the security settings of the user viewing the submission or policy. Individual behavior settings can also be applied to each of the fields attached to the panel, overriding the default settings of the fields when the conditions are met.

Panels can be manually collapsed and expanded using the and icons or by clicking in an empty area of the panel header, and they can be set to appear in collapsed form by default.

Creating a New Panel

95Table of Contents

Name Enter the name of the Panel. This is the internal name, used to select this panel when connecting it to other elements of the form. This name does not appear on the form itself.

Code This is an internal reference name which is generated by the system when the panel is saved.

External Code This field is used for integration between Bridge and external systems.The code should not include spaces. Any spaces are removed when the field is saved.In addition, special characters other than underscore ( _ ) should be avoided. For View Grids, the code is inherited from the master grid and cannot be changed.

Label Text Enter the label to be shown at the top of the panel. When the panel is collapsed, this label is the only part that shows, so the label should be descriptive enough for users to locate the fields they need.

Help Text Enter the help text to be shown when the user clicks on the Help icon in the panel header.

Tip: If the Label Text and Help Text fields are both blank, the panel header will be hidden. This can be used to arrange panels so that they appear to be a single panel, while each panel maintains distinct display and override rules.Hiding the header removes the control to collapse or expand the panel. For this reason, any settings or overrides to collapse the panel will not be applied if the header is hidden.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

Once the panel has been saved, the Label Text and Help Text become available in the Custom Labels section. This allows translated versions of the text to be uploaded for when the browser is set to different languages. The text entered here will be set as the default English text.For details on customizing languages, see the Custom Labels section in the User Guide - Reference and Administration document.

Line of Business Select a Line of Business from the list of industry presets, or select All to make the panel available to all lines. For View Grids, the line of business is inherited from the master grid and cannot be changed.

Control Type Select the format of the panel. For View Grids, the control type is inherited from the master grid and cannot be changed.

Form The fields are presented in order of sequence, arranged according to the Layout and Column Layout settings.

Grid The fields are aligned in a standard grid, with all common grid functions. An Add button opens either a detail window with the fields presented in order of sequence, arranged according to the Layout and Column Layout settings, or a tab workflow where the order of fields is defined by the workflow configuration.

The user can add multiple entries, while clicking an entry in the grid opens the details page or tab workflow for that entry.

Premium Grid Like a standard grid, the user can add rows of data. However, two extra columns are added to calculate the Transaction Premium and Term Premium for each row. If a premium grid has another premium grid as a child (see below), another two columns are added for the Transaction Premium Rollup and Term Premium Rollup, summing the calculated value for each row and all child values (through multiple layers of child grids) associated with that row.

Note: A normal user can add entries to a Premium Grid, but only users with the ability to delete premium values can delete an entry. This restriction does not apply to the normal grid.

Layout This field is available for Form control types, and for Grid or Premium Grid control types when Window is selected as the Management Style. Select how the labels and fields will be positioned in the form or in the detail window.

Horizontal The labels will appear to the left of the field. This is the most common setting for fields with short labels.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

97Table of Contents

Vertical The labels will appear above the fields. This is useful for fields with very long labels, such as a detailed question.

Column Layout This field is available for Form control types, and for Grid or Premium Grid control types when Window is selected as the Management Style. Select how the fields will be arranged in the form or the detail window.

Single The panel will have a single column of fields. This provides the greatest amount of space for wide fields and specific field control types.

Double The panel will have two columns of fields. This is useful for panels with many short fields.

Note: There are some field restrictions when using Double columns.

For Combo Box, Textbox, Textbox (Decimal), Textbox (Email), and Textbox (Integer) fields, if the Size is set to anything greater than Small, the field will be resized to fit the column.

For Drop Down fields, if the Size is set to anything greater than Small, the field will be changed to Small when publishing the workflow.

Select a parent grid, if applicable. In the workflow, one instance of the child grid is created for each row in the parent grid, ready to receive data directly related to that row. When a row is selected in the parent grid, any child grids will appear directly below the parent. The child grids display the data associated to the selected row in the parent, and will refresh as different rows are selected in the parent.

The parent grid can have multiple child grids, all of which will appear below the parent, but a child grid can only have one parent. However, a child grid can have its own child grids, cascading down through the workflow screen.

For grids using the Window option for Management Style, all child grids must be included in the same screen configuration as their parent. The child always appears below the parent, but the sequence will control the order when multiple children of the same parent are displayed.

For grids using the Tabs option for Management Style, all grids within the selected Tab Workflow must be defined as children of the parent grid. Child grids from the Tab Workflow can also be included in the core workflow in a cascading structure, but are not required.

Tip: When entering labels for child grids, it is recommended to choose labels that clearly define the relation to other grids within the hierarchy.There are different methods to achieve this:

Adding the parent name first, such as "Parent - Child". Creating a numbered hierarchy, such as "Table 1.1", "Table 1.2", "Table 2.1", etc.

Add leading characters to "indent" the label, such as "...Child". Note that leading spaces will be removed.

Note: Tab workflows cannot contain cascading child grids themselves, but tab grids in the core workflow can be arranged in a cascading structure.

Master Grid Code This field provides a link to the master grid. This field is only visible for View Grids, which display a subset of the fields from the master grid. See the description for the View Grids panel below.

Evaluate Calculated Fields For New Rows

This option is not available for View Grids.

When checked, each time a new row is added to the grid, all calculated fields in the workflow are evaluated on opening the detail window, and again on saving the new row.

When unchecked, calculated fields are only evaluated on saving the new row.

Enable Data Import With this option checked, users with the necessary right can import a spreadsheet to quickly populate the grid with a significant amount of data, or update existing data.

Grid Height As rows are added to a grid, it expands and takes up more space on the screen. When it reaches the maximum height, it adds pages which can be navigated using the page controls in the bottom-right of the grid.

The options are Small (10 rows), Medium (25 rows), and Large (50 rows).Enable Filtering This option enables the filter row in the grid, giving users greater control in finding and

organizing data.

Show Copy Button Enables the Copy button when viewing a row in the current grid, making it easier to enter multiple rows with similar information.

Copying produces a new row where each field in the grid is duplicated, reset to default, or changed to match a source field, according to the Initial Value On Copy setting for each field.

Copying may also include associated rows from child grids, according to the Copy With Parent settings for the child grids.

Copy With Parent This option is applied if a parent grid has been selected. If no parent grid is selected, this option has no effect.

If checked, copying a row in the parent grid will also copy all rows from the current grid that are associated to the parent row. Each field in the grid is duplicated, reset to default, or changed to match a source field, according to the Initial Value On Copy setting for each field.

If unchecked, rows from the current grid will not be copied when the parent rows are copied.

The copy cascades through multiple child grids that have this option enabled, even if the Show Copy Button option is not checked.

The trigger is evaluated for each row in the grid. If the trigger evaluates as true, the row is copied into the new transaction, if false, the row is not copied. If no trigger is defined, all rows are copied for that transaction type.

Note: If a row is copied, each field is copied according to the individual copy settings, either copying the content or resetting the field back to its default value. If a row is not copied, the individual copy settings for each field are ignored.

4. Click Add to save the panel. Additional sections are added to complete the configuration.

5. Select the fields to be included in the panel. The Fields grid displays all currently attached fields, and their settings.

Emphasize Actions As the user navigates through the workflow, there may be screens where certain actions are common and expected, such as binding the submission on the last page, requesting a special quote on a summary page, or printing a specific document related to the content of the screen.

This option allows specific buttons to be displayed at the bottom of the screen along with the navigation buttons. Each button matches an option in the Actions widget, performs exactly the same function, and follows the same rules for availability based on the transaction type, status, and the rights of the user. Even when activated for a particular screen, the button only appears if the matching option is available in the Actions widget.

Check the box for each button to be enabled for the current screen.

Managing Triggers

Triggers are logical conditions that can be set to evaluate system and submission information against a set of criteria.

Whether a trigger evaluates as true or false can determine if certain options are available on the submission form, if a calculation is processed a certain way, if specific data is included in an email or generated document, or a variety of other options.

Triggers can be nested together, creating detailed logical structures to suit any need.

Tip: By default, only Active triggers are displayed. Clear the filter in the Status column to view all triggers.

2. Click Create. The Trigger Management page opens.

3. Complete the necessary information. Fields marked with a red asterisk * are required.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

162Table of Contents

Trigger Name Enter the name of the trigger. This is the internal name, used to select this trigger when setting up related features. This name does not appear on the form itself.

Code This is an internal reference name which is generated by the system when the trigger is saved.

Scope Select how this trigger is available for workflows.

Workflow Restricts this trigger to one specific workflow, selected in the next field. If selected, only fields and triggers belonging to the same workflow are available for setting conditions.

Universal Makes the trigger available throughout the system. Only fields and triggers assigned to all lines of business are available for setting conditions.

Workflow If Workflow was selected as the Scope, select the appropriate workflow from this list.

4. One trigger can have multiple conditions. Each condition compares one field or one trigger to a set value. Depending on the chosen Conjunction (see below), the trigger is true if all conditions are true (Conjunction = And) or if any condition is true (Conjunction = Or).

a) Click in the field marked Please click here to add new row.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

163Table of Contents

b) Select the field, trigger, or other option to be checked for this condition.

Fields Provides a selection of system and workflow fields. In order for a workflow field to be available in this list, the field must be set as a Trigger field, and the availability must match the Scope settings selected above. See the section on Managing Fields for more information.

Triggers All triggers within the same Scope can be selected. Since only one type of Conjunction can be used within a single trigger, having triggers within triggers allows for detailed and/or logic structures.

Other Options These are additional choices that allow the trigger to check other information within the system.

Current Screen This option obtains the Code of the current screen in the workflow. This can be compared to known screen codes, identified on the Screen Management page.

c) The Function field is optional, and provides advanced features related to tables, dates, and compliance checks. The result of the function is used to check the condition.

Min Used for fields within a table, this uses the lowest value in the table.

Max Used for fields within a table, this uses the highest value in the table.

Sum Used for fields within a table, this adds together all instances of the chosen field within a table.

All Used for fields within a table, this checks each record against the selected criteria. All records must evaluate as true for the condition to be true.

Any Used for fields within a table, this checks each record against the selected criteria. If one or more records evaluate as true, the condition is true. This can also be used on a field where multiple options can be selected, determining if one of the selected options matches the criteria.

Count Used for fields within a table, this counts the number of records in the table. The contents of the records have no effect.

Days From Current This function compares the selected date field against the current system date, and returns the number of days difference.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

164Table of Contents

Months From Current This function compares the selected date field against the current system date, and returns the number of months difference.

Years From Current This function compares the selected date field against the current system date, and returns the number of years difference.

Scan - [List Name] This is a special feature that checks the selected field for compliance with one of a series of sanction or watch lists. This feature provides a number from 0 to 100, with 100 meaning an exact match against a restricted person, place, or company. That resulting number is compared to the Value to determine if the condition is met. A separate condition must be created for each different list to be scanned.

d) The Operator determines how the field or function result is compared to the condition value.

Equals The field or function result must match the condition value exactly.

Not Equals The field or function result must be different from the condition value.

Greater Than For numeric or date fields, the field or function result must be greater than the condition value.

Greater Than or Equals For numeric or date fields, the field or function result must be greater than or equal to the condition value.

Less Than For numeric or date fields, the field or function result must be less than the condition value.

Less Than or Equals For numeric or date fields, the field or function result must be less than or equal to the condition value.

Contains For text fields, the full text of the condition value must be included anywhere in the field.

Does Not Contain For text fields, the full text of the condition value must not be included anywhere in the field.

e) Enter the condition Value. The field or function result is checked against this value according to the selected operator. The type of value to use depends on the type of field being evaluated:

For text values, the text should be entered exactly as it should be evaluated. Do not enclose text in quotes or other markers unless those markers are to be included in the evaluation.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

165Table of Contents

For numerical values, the number should be entered without any commas or markups, other than decimals and/or minus signs (-) for negative values.

For triggers or single checkboxes, the value is Yes if the trigger evaluates as true or if the checkbox is checked. The value is No if the trigger evaluates as false or the checkbox is unchecked. The values are not case sensitive.

To evaluate any field that uses an option list (Radio Buttons, Multi-Selects, Include/Exclude Boxes, etc.) refer to the codes assigned to each item in the option list.

Tips: Direct evaluation of date fields is currently not supported. To evaluate a date, please use a calculated field to perform a date comparison that returns a numerical value. The calculated field can then be used in the trigger.

One exception is the CurrentDate() function. When this function is used in the Value field, it will retrieve the current system date and perform a direct comparison when evaluating the trigger. Note that triggers using this configuration can only be used for Automatic Field Evaluations in the Automatic Processing section of the master cover.

f) Select a Conjunction. If And is selected, every condition must be met for the trigger to evaluate as true. If Or is selected, at least one must be met for the trigger to evaluate as true.

Only one type of conjunction can be used in a single trigger, meaning each condition must be set to the same conjunction. However, a separate trigger with a different conjunction can be included in a condition, allowing complex logical structures.

g) Press the Tab key from the Conjunction field or click outside the table to add the condition to the list. The condition is highlighted in yellow to indicate that it has not been accepted yet

h) Repeat the previous steps to add additional conditions.

i) Once all conditions have been added, right-click inside the table and select Accept All Changes. This saves the current table.

5. Click Add to save the trigger but remain on the page, click Add & Close to save the trigger and return to the trigger list, or click Close to return to the trigger list without saving the trigger.

Export / Import

This section includes features for sharing data with other programs and copying resources between different Bridge websites.

The export and import of an entire product is a particularly powerful feature.

When developing an entirely new product, the workflow, master cover, and all related resources can be assembled, tested, and approved in a UAT environment, and then copied in one large piece to the production environment.

If a product already exists in production, it can be copied to the UAT environment where changes can be made, possibly to implement valuable new features added to the Bridge system itself. The changes can be tested and approved, then the whole product is copied back to production, resulting in minimal downtime for the users.

The export feature can also be used to make a backup of a product before attempting risky changes that would be difficult to undo. The file can be imported back into the original system to restore the product to its original state (with some exceptions, detailed below).

Exporting Products

The Export feature allows entire products to be exported from one Bridge site, ready to be imported into another. This includes the workflow, the master cover, and most related resources.

1. In the main menu, select Product Design then Export / Import. The Export / Import page opens. Go to the Export Product panel.

2. Complete the necessary information.

Export Triggers Modified as of

When exporting a master cover that has previously been exported and imported into another site, a new export can be set to only include triggers that have been modified or added to the master cover as of a certain date. This will reduce the size of the export file and speed up the export and import process. Enter the date, or select the date from the calendar lookup .

Master Cover Select the master cover to be exported. The master cover should be set to Draft mode before export.

Include All Universal Triggers

Check this box to include all universal triggers in the system. If unchecked, only the triggers used in the product and associated resources are included, both universal and workflow related.

Notes:The export includes both Active and Inactive triggers in order to maintain necessary system links.

All elements in the workflow and other resources should have a Code. If a necessary code is missing, the export will stop and report the missing details.

Any triggers referenced in document templates are not included. If these triggers are not used elsewhere in the product, they must be recreated in the target system.

When using the Export Triggers Modified as of option, the export file should only be imported on top of a previous import. Importing to a new location may result in missing triggers that could cause errors.

3. Click Export to begin the process. This may take some time, depending on the size and complexity of the product. Once the data has been assembled, a standard browser Save/Open dialogue box appears to allow the file to be saved. The output XML file can be imported into another system. See the Importing Products feature below.

Note: The file name includes the name of the master cover, the date and time of export, and a system-generated code number. Neither the file name nor the content of the file should be altered or the file will be rejected when trying to import.

Importing Products

Initiating an import is a simple enough action, but it is important to understand the process that occurs behind-the-scenes and the results of the import.

1. Preparation: Some steps should be taken to prepare the destination system, allowing for a smooth import.

If a master cover exists in the destination system with the same code as the source master cover, it should be exported and kept as a backup, allowing the original to be restored.

Any security roles referenced in the master cover, workflow, or resources must exist in the destination system. They can be recreated manually, or the Export / Import Security Roles feature can be used to copy the roles prior to importing the product. Only roles that are actually selected need to be available.

Any document templates attached the master cover must exist in the destination system. The Export Document Templates and Import Document Templates features can be used to copy the templates prior to importing the product.

Some resources may be shared between multiple master covers on the destination system. Overwriting these resources could cause problems with the other master covers. Identify such dependencies and create alternate resources wherever possible.

Any triggers to be included should be checked to ensure they do not contain the angle brackets "<" ">" or ampersand "&" characters.

All insurer and distributor companies linked to the master cover must be recreated in the destination system, with the same Codes used in the source system. If any companies already exist in the destination system and have the same codes as companies linked to the product, those companies will be linked to the product on import. Such companies must be manually removed from the product after import is complete, and replaced with the proper companies.

2. In the main menu, select Product Design then Export / Import. The Export / Import page opens. Go to the Import Product panel.

3. Complete the necessary information.

188Table of Contents

Select File to Import Click the button to open a standard file browser window. Locate and select the appropriate export file, and the file name and path appear in the field.

Overwrite Existing Items? During the import the system checks if each resource already exists, identified by Code. If a resource of the same type exists with the same Code, this setting determines how the import proceeds. If checked, the system overwrites the resource, ensuring that the full product remains intact. If unchecked, the existing resource is not changed and the imported resource is discarded, which protects existing data, but can cause gaps in the imported product.

Note: The master cover itself is an exception to this setting. If a master cover exists with the same Code, it is overwritten, regardless of the overwrite setting.

Keep Distributor Association If unchecked, importing a product on top of an existing product will overwrite the distributor configurations associated to the master cover. Checking this box keeps the current distributor configuration in the destination product.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

Include Integration Endpoint Codes

The Endpoint Code for an integration configuration will often need to be modified when moving from one environment to another. With this option unchecked, the codes will not be imported and can be added after import. With this option checked, the codes will be included and can be adjusted after import, if necessary.

Import Log After import, any messages or errors will be displayed in this field.

Perform GUID check If unchecked, any imported workflow resources will overwrite any resources of the same type that have the same code. If checked, resources will only be overwritten if both the code and internal GUID identifier both match.

4. Click Import Product to begin the process. (the Import Workflow button is not used)

a) The system validates the import file to confirm that it has not been altered or corrupted. If the file fails validation, the import stops and an error message is displayed. A new export file must be generated for import.

b) The system checks that all required security roles are present in the destination system. If any roles are missing, the import stops and an error message is displayed. The missing roles must be created before attempting to import the file again.

c) The system checks all included triggers for invalid characters. If the angle brackets "<" ">" or ampersand "&" characters are found in any triggers, the import stops and an error message is displayed. The triggers must be corrected in the source system, then a new export file must be generated for import.

d) All workflow components (fields, panels, screens, workflow, options lists) are identified by two values, the Code visible in the management pages, as well as a GUID that serves as an internal ID value. If a component being exported has the same Code and GUID as a component in the destination system, they are considered the same item, and the destination component will be either attached to the product, or overwritten, depending on the import settings. If a component has the same Code as a component in the destination system, but the GUID does not match, the import stops and an error is displayed identifying the mismatched component. To resolve this error, the affected component in the destination system can be deactivated, or the component in the source system can be replaced by an identical component with a new Code, and the export process started again.

e) The workflow data is imported (fields, panels, screens, workflow, options lists).

f) Resources are imported (premium types, products, clauses, triggers, taxes).

g) Master cover settings are imported. If the settings refer to any universal triggers, and universal triggers were not included in the export, the import continues and the missing triggers are identified on completion.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

190Table of Contents

h) Insurer and distributor companies are linked to the imported master cover. If any company is missing or the Code does not match, the settings for that company are omitted from the master cover. The import continues and the missing companies are identified on completion. The company settings must be configured manually after import has completed.

i) E-mail templates are imported and attached to the imported master cover. If any user accounts listed as recipients in the e-mail template do not exist in the destination system, the import continues and the missing companies are identified in the results field on completion. The setup of the recipient users can be corrected after import has completed.

5. Once the import has completed or stopped due to an error, the Import Log window is populated with the relevant messages and errors from the import. Copy the text (click inside the field, press Ctrl + A to select all text, then Ctrl + C to copy) and save it for future reference. This text can be used for troubleshooting or as a checklist of items that must be corrected after the import.

6. After the import is complete and the results have been copied and saved, close any additional browser windows and log out of the system. This clears the session data accumulated in the Import/Export process.

7. Once all corrections have been made, the workflow must be published before submissions can be created.

Note: Concurrency issues may occur if other users are working in the system during import. It is recommended to perform the import during a maintenance window or other downtime.

Cross-Policy Data Configurations

In general, policy data is isolated to a single policy and its associated transactions. Documents, e-mails, and calculated fields can only access information from the current policy, plus common system information.

Cross-Policy Data Configurations can be created as a repository for data from selected fields across policies, and even across products. This data becomes available for use in calculated fields within individual transactions, and can be used to perform comparisons or searches.

When a transaction contains data marked for collection, any time that transaction is imported, bound (including confirming Cancellations and Reinstatements), quoted (calculated quotes or issued quotes), or saved while in Bound status, the relevant data is collected and stored in the repository. If the transaction is deleted or set to Lost status, the stored data for that transaction is removed. Functions within calculated fields can access the most recent data for processing.

Reference

Appendix A - E-mail Syntax

When an email is generated, system and submission information can be pulled into the subject and body of the email. This section details the syntax to be used when preparing the email template.

Workflow and System Placeholders

The main objective of sending dynamically generated emails is to provide information. To achieve this, the email template is created using placeholders. When the system prepares the email, it replaces the placeholders with the required information.

To pull in information from the custom fields in your workflow, the placeholder is the System Reference name of the field enclosed in double square brackets [[ ]].

For example, a field named “Business Region” may have a system reference name of “BusinessRegion”, so the contents of the field would be pulled in with the placeholder [[BusinessRegion]].

Notes:The System Reference name does not change if the field name is changed, and may include numbering if duplicate fields exist. For these reasons, you should verify the System Reference name of each field when adding placeholders.

If a field is part of a grid, the placeholders must be included in a table format, described here.

In addition to the workflow information, you can also include system information related to the submission, or the date and time from the server. For a complete list of system variables that can be used in documents, e-mails, and calculated fields, see Appendix B in the User Guide - Calculated Fields document.

Tables

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

204Table of Contents

A table can be added to the email template to pull in all entries from a grid, displaying all chosen fields for the first entry, then the second entry, and so on.

The table must be contained within the [[TABLESTART]] and [[TABLEEND]] markers (they are case sensitive). It displays all text between the markers, replacing any placeholders with the appropriate values for that entry, then repeats the line for the next entry in the table.

When adding placeholders for fields within a grid, the System Reference for the grid must be identified along with the System Reference for the field as follows:

[[GridName_FieldName]]

For example, a grid with system reference RegionalPercentages has three fields. The system references for the first two fields are RegionName and Percentage. The third field is not included in the table. The table entry in the email template would appear as follows (markers and placeholders are marked in bold):

[[TABLESTART]]The percentage for region [[RegionalPercentages_RegionName]] is [[RegionalPercentages_Percentage]]%.[[TABLEEND]]

When the email is generated, the table appear as follows (data pulled from the grid is marked in bold):

The percentage for region North America is 40%.

The percentage for region South America is 48%.

The percentage for region Europe is 54%.

Since the third field in the table is not included in the table setup, it is ignored when the table is generated.

Triggers

Triggers can be used to define sections of the email that are only included if certain conditions are met.

The trigger markers [[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_START]] and [[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_END]] are used to mark the beginning and end of the conditional text. After the start marker, the trigger is identified with a standard placeholder containing the name of the trigger, such as [[My Trigger]].

Between the trigger placeholder and the end marker, place all of the text that depends on the trigger.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

205Table of Contents

For example, to add a section to the email that lists special instructions based on two triggers, the following lines could be added (markers and placeholders are marked in bold):

Special Conditions:

[[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_START]][[Premium Client]]This is a premium client. Escalate all issues for immediate attention.[[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_END]][[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_START]][[High-Value Coverage]]This coverage falls under the High-Value regulations.[[OW_DOCUMENTTRIGGER_END]]

If the Premium Client trigger evaluates as true, but the High-Value Coverage trigger evaluates as false, the following is included in the email:

Special Conditions:

This is a premium client. Escalate all issues for immediate attention.

Tip: All spacing and line breaks included within the trigger markers are included or excluded based on the triggers. Care should be taken to place text properly in order to maintain the layout of the document.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

206Table of Contents

Appendix B - Advanced Trigger Design

While the basic setup of triggers can be very useful, they do not take advantage of the full capabilities of the trigger system.

Advanced setups can include triggers within triggers to blend And/Or logic (referred to as “Nested Triggers”), entire pages can be evaluated for any number of conditions, cascading and branching triggers can make complex decisions, all automatically.

Combining triggers and calculated fields opens a world of possibilities, where multiple fields can be run through formulas and functions, with the results being used in multi-stage trigger structures.

Mixing And and Or

While a single trigger can have multiple conditions, with all conditions using the same conjunction (And/Or), some situations require a combination of the two. By creating separate triggers for each group of conditions using the same conjunction, then joining the triggers together in a higher level trigger, a precise set of conditions can be identified.

For example, there are four checkboxes, valued at 1, 2, 4, and 8. A trigger is needed to determine if the combined value of the checked boxes is more than 10. There are multiple solutions for this problem, one of which is detailed below.

The logical formula appears as follows:(Box 8 and (Box 4 or (Box 2 and Box 1)))

Since each trigger needs to be referenced in the trigger above it, we begin with the lowest level, represented in Blue above.

The second level, represented in Green above, can now refer to the third-level trigger.

Version 2.4.81 Bridge User Guide User Guide - Product Design

207Table of Contents

The top level, represented in Red above, can now be created to complete the structure.

When the top trigger is used anywhere in the system, the system evaluates the conditions and triggers from the top-down until it has a conclusion.
