Global Lines settings
The Global Lines settings table lists all of the global Lines settings and provides a description and use case or example for each setting.
Note: Setting names with an asterisk * also exist in Advanced Settings.
Table 1: Global Lines settings
| Setting | Description | Use case/Example |
|---|---|---|
| Options | ||
| Blank Category Default* |
Defaults all category dropdown lists to None Selected with a few exceptions: Premium Basis, Deductibles, and Limits. When you set a category default to None Selected, an agent must answer the category question. Note: A category with None Selected prevents rating a policy. |
Select if you want agents to manually select all category data when quoting a policy. |
| Persistent Builder Options | ||
| Exclude Supplemental Questions* | Excludes Supplemental Questions from Persistent Builder. | Select if you want to add Supplemental Questions for new business without causing renewal business conflicts. |
| Derive deductible selection when previous selection is removed* | This setting removes the previous deductible selection and automatically determines a deductible. If a coverage’s current deductible amount is no longer an option, BritCore will select the next closest value. | A client’s underwriting rule states a dwelling isn’t eligible for a deductible less than $1000 when it is older than 50 years old. When the policy renews and the dwelling is 50 years old, the deductibles less than $1000 are removed and the $1000 deductible is automatically selected. |
| Policy Annual Premium Rounding | ||
| None* | Policy premiums are not rounded. | Select if you do not want to round policy premiums. |
| Round Policy Annual Premium to the Nearest Dollar* | Policy premiums are rounded to the nearest dollar. | Select if you want to round policy premiums to the nearest dollar. |
| Round Policy Annual Premium Up to the Nearest Dollar* | Policy premiums are rounded up to the nearest dollar. | Select if you want to round policy premiums up to the nearest dollar. |
