In BriteLines, you can add items to risk types.

You can add three types of items:

• Coverages
• Fees
• Endorsements

Note: If you add an endorsement, you will need to select all of the associated coverages.

You can choose one of three ways to have an item appear to users:

• Mandatory: A mandatory item is always selected and can’t be removed.
• Default: A default item will automatically be selected, but a user can choose to unselect it.
• Optional: An optional item is unselected by default, but a user can choose to select it.
