Key Column Rule This field is only available for Data Table and Web Service sources. The key column is the value that is stored in the database when a record is selected and the screen is saved. When referencing the lookup field in triggers or calculated fields, this is the value that will be provided.

Note: For Grid sources, a key column cannot be selected. Instead, the value stored for the lookup field is a long alphanumeric code assigned by the system. Due to the random nature of the code, it is unlikely that this could be used in any meaningful way.

The values in this column must be unique, as they specifically identify individual records.

Key Column is Primary Display Column

The same column selected as the Primary Display Column will be used as the key column.

Specify Alternate Key Column

A different column can be selected as the key column. The Key Column field becomes available.

Key Column This field is available when Specify Alternate Key Column is selected as the Key Column Rule. Select a column from the data source as the key column.

Configuration for Data Tables and Web Services

1. Configuration continues with the panels that are added on saving.

Filters can be applied to each data source, restricting the data available for the lookups. When using a Web Service, the filters are passed to the service as part of the request. The Filters panel lists all current filter rules.

To delete filters, check one or more boxes in the first column and click Delete. Individual filters can also be deleted when viewing the filter details.


22Table of Contents

Note: The system will use filters differently when the Data Source field is set to Address Lookup.When the Data Source Configuration is activated by a combo box, the filters will be ignored. The system will use search-text entered into the combo box by the user in the submission workflow. If the combo box uses Automatic search mode, the Minimum Filter Length must be 4 or greater. When the configuration is activated by a function in a calculated field, the filters will be used.

To create new filters, click the Add button. The Add Filter window opens.

Column Select the column to be filtered. For data tables, only columns defined as Key Columns in the Data Table Management page are available. For web services, only columns defined as Filters in the Web Service List for Data Sources are available.

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:


23Table of Contents

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.

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.

For details about the $Lookup() function, please see the Full Function List section in the User Guide - Calculated Fields document.

Preparing the Lookup File

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 ,.


69Table 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.


70Table of Contents


Name Enter the name of the table. This is the internal name, used to identify the table in the lookup tables list.

Code Enter a unique code for the table. This code is used in the $Lookup() function to identify the table.

Description Enter a description of the table.

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.


71Table of Contents

Active Marks the table as active and available for use. If unchecked, any lookups on this table will return no results.

Created By Identifies the date and time the lookup table was created, and the user who created it.

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

5. Click Add Version. The New Lookup Table Version window opens.


Description Enter a description for this version of the table.

Effective Date Enter the date that this table version comes into effect, or select the date from the calendar lookup .

Valid Until Date Enter the date of the last day this table version is in effect, or select the date from the calendar lookup . If no date is provided, the table is valid indefinitely.


72Table of Contents

Select File Click the Browse button to open a standard file browser window. Locate and select the appropriate file, and the file name and path appear in the field. This field and the Browse button are not shown when viewing a saved table version.

7. Click Save & New to save the table version and clear the form to add a new version, click Save & Close to save the table version and close the window, or click Close to close the window without saving the table version.

Once the table version is saved, the Status panel becomes available at the bottom of the window.

Created By Identifies the date and time the table version was created, and the user who created it.

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 Screens Defining screens to assemble various panels in a workflow.

Managing Integration Configurations

Configuring integration options for the sharing of data between systems.

Managing Workflows Assembling screens into steps, forming the final workflow.

Billing Module For integrations with system data in the Billing module, enter the code for the integration field.

This field will display the current value of the integration field, although the value will be read-only, and changes to the field will not be saved.

For a list of available integration fields, see the section on Billing Integration Fields in the User Guide – Calculated Fields document.

Claims Module Fields can be integrated between the Policy and Claims modules, allowing Policy information to be pulled into a Claim when a policy is selected. There are two ways to achieve this.

Shared Field: A single field is used in both the Policy workflow and the Claims workflow. The External Code for this field should have the "Bridge.Policy." prefix, such as "Bridge.Policy.CoverageRegion".

Linked Fields: Two fields are linked, one in the Policy workflow and one in the Claims workflow. Both fields should have the same External Code, prefixed with "Bridge.Policy.", such as "Bridge.Policy.CoverageRegion".

Whenever a policy is selected for a claim, including changing or re-selecting a policy, the claims field will be populated with the data from the associated policy field. The claims field can then be used normally for features such as calculations, conditions, and generated documents.

Note that changes to the policy field will not automatically be copied to the claims field. The data will only be copied when selecting a policy in the claim.

In addition, any changes to the claims field will not be copied to the policy field, and will be replaced with the policy field data if the policy is re-selected.

When providing a default value for a Date Picker field, the date must be in the full system format "2014-10-28T18:16:12.3313239-04:00".

Default Formula This field is visible when Formula is selected for the Apply Default field.

Enter a formula to determine the default value for the field. Please see the Building Formulas section in the User Guide - Calculated Fields document for detailed instructions on preparing formulas.

Notes:The system will only evaluate the formula when the field value is null and the workflow screen containing the field is loaded, such as from navigating to the screen or when the screen is refreshed after taking certain actions.

As the default value is only calculated on loading the screen, use caution when referencing the value from other calculated fields. If other calculated fields attempt to use the default value before it is evaluated, unexpected behavior or errors can occur.

When the formula is evaluated, the result is not automatically saved. To save the result, the transaction must be saved before leaving the page.

Once the field has been saved with any value, including an empty string resulting from deleting its current value, the default will not be applied again for the current transaction.

Maximum Length This value defines the maximum number of characters that can be entered in the field. When a user is entering information, the cursor stops at the set number of characters. If pasting information into the field, only the set number of characters are pasted. This option only functions for TextBox and Textbox (Email) control types.

Rounding Precision This value defines the number of decimal spaces permitted in the field. If a user attempts to enter a value with too many decimal spaces, an error message asks that they correct the value.

Source Transaction Copies the value of this field from the source transaction.

Default Instead of copying the value, this field resets to the Default value, or resets to blank if no Default value is defined.

Field Copies the value from a selected field in the source transaction. On selecting this option, the Select Field drop-down appears, listing active fields of the same type and same line of business (or all lines of business). Select the field to copy the value from. In the case of a calculated field, this will copy the calculated value, and not the formula itself.

Notes: The Correlated and Parent Field settings cannot be copied due to the unique connections between the field and the parent. When copying a correlated field, a new correlation must be created manually.



An Inactive field can be copied, with the copy being Active by default.

Publishing a Calculated Field’s Formula

The content of the Calculated Field Formula field can be published to a specified workflow from the Field Management page. This allows it to be quickly published for testing or to be used immediately without publishing the rest of the workflow.

Notes:This feature can only be used for a field that has been included in a published workflow and is still part of that workflow.

If the field is not included in any published workflow, this feature will not be available.

The purpose of this feature is to quickly publish changes to the Calculated Field Formula field. It should not be used to publish changes to any other settings for the field.







3. In the Workflow to Publish in drop down, select the workflow to which the system will publish the content of the Calculated Field Formula field.

4. Make any necessary changes to the Calculated Field Formula field.

5. Click Save.

6. Click Publish.

7. The system will display a confirmation message or any errors. If the publishing process was successful, the changes will be in effect.

Deactivating a Field

Once created, a field cannot be deleted. It can be deactivated, which leaves it linked to any existing forms, but prevents it from being used for new forms.






2. Locate the field or fields to be deactivated. If there are a large number of available fields, see the Using Grids section of the User Guide - Introduction document for help on finding the appropriate fields.

3. Check the boxes for all fields to be deactivated.

4. Click Deactivate, then confirm the deactivation when prompted to do so. All selected fields are deactivated. If the fields list is still defaulted to only show active fields, they disappear from the list.

Tip: Individual fields can also be deactivated or reactivated directly through the field record. See the section on Viewing and Modifying a Field for details.



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

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Workflow Configurations, then Panels. A list of all available panels is displayed.


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

2. Click Create. The Panel Management page opens.




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.



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.



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.



File Upload, Include Exclude List, and Rich Text field types are too large and cannot be resized, so they cannot be included in a double-column layout.

Text Area fields can be included, but only if Vertical is selected as the Layout Type. The Horizontal layout is too wide.

The Grid Settings panel is available when Grid or Premium Grid are selected as the Control Type.

Management Style Select how data will be entered in the grid.

Window Opens a window within the page, containing the fields selected for the panel.

Tabs Opens a set of tabbed screens in the center area of the page. The tab structure is created as a special type of workflow.

Tab Workflow This option is available when the Tabs option is selected for the Management Style. Select the tabbed workflow for this grid.

Parent Grid This option is not available for View Grids or grids that have associated View Grids.



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.

Enable Editing in Grid Certain field types can be edited directly within the grid without having to open the detail window. Double-click a cell for an editable column to make changes. Clicking on another row or outside the grid saves the changes. Multiple cells can be edited in a single row, and the row saves on clicking outside of the row.

Checking this box enables the feature for the current grid, and makes the Editable in Grid checkbox available for individual fields shown in the grid.

Enable Batch Delete Enables the grid feature that allows multiple rows to be deleted simultaneously directly from the page containing the grid.

When checked, a column of checkboxes will appear as the first column of the grid, allowing the user to select multiple rows to be deleted. A Delete button will also be made available to perform the deletion.

Notes: The system deletes all child rows belonging to the deleted rows.

After the deletion, the system performs a calculation pass, evaluating calculated fields according to their settings. Any Field Evaluation Rules set to the Delete Grid Row event will also be evaluated.

Deleting a row from a Master Grid removes it from any associated View Grids. Deleting a row from a View Grid removes it from the Master Grid.

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 Policy Settings panel is available when Grid or Premium Grid are selected as the Control Type, except for View Grids. This controls whether or not data in the grid is copied into the new transaction when creating an endorsement, adjustment, declaration, renewal, cancellation, or reinstatement.

Note that these settings do not apply when individual rows are copied, either directly or when a parent row is copied.

Copy Row on Endorsement Select a trigger to control copying when creating an endorsement transaction.

Copy Row on Adjustment Select a trigger to control copying when creating an adjustment transaction.

Copy Row on Declaration Select a trigger to control copying when creating a declaration transaction.

Copy Row on Renewal Select a trigger to control copying when creating a renewal transaction.

Copy Row on Cancellation Select a trigger to control copying when creating a cancellation transaction.

Copy Row on Reinstatement

Select a trigger to control copying when creating a reinstatement transaction.



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.

Note: When configuring a panel as a tabbed grid, all fields included in Form panels within the associated Tab Workflow should be added to the current panel.

Any fields included in Form panels within the associated Tab Workflow that are not included in the current panel will be displayed in the workflow, but will not be saved.

Fields that are not included in the associated Tab Workflow can be added to the current panel, but will not be displayed in the workflow.

This does not apply to fields included in Grid or Premium Grid panels within the associated Tab Workflow, including child tab grids. Those fields are entirely configured within their respective panels.

To remove fields from the panel, check the boxes next to all appropriate fields and click Delete.

Click Add Fields to add a new field, The Add Fields window opens.

Click a link in the Name column to view an existing field. The Edit Fields window opens.



a) The Available Fields panel lists all fields that are available for use in the panel. The columns can be sorted and filtered to locate the necessary fields, then click Add for each one in the order they should appear in the panel. Each field is grayed out as it is selected.

b) Click Bulk Add to add all selected fields to the Included Fields list.

As each field is added, default sequence numbers are assigned in increments of ten and the configuration is saved. The sequence numbers can be changed manually later in the process.

c) When all fields have been added, click Close to close the window.

d) The Fields panel lists all fields currently included in the panel. To update details such as the sequence number and whether or not the field will be displayed in grids (for Grid and Premium Grid panels), click a link in the Name column. The Edit Field window opens.



Name Displays the name of the selected field.

Sequence The assigned sequence number can be changed.

Tip: It is advisable to leave gaps between the sequence numbers, such as 5, 10, 15. This allows new fields to be added to the list at a later date, inserted between existing fields. Otherwise, the sequence numbers of existing fields must be changed to allow for the new addition.

Display in Grid This checkbox is only available for Grid and Premium Grid panels. When unchecked, the field will only be shown in the detail window or tab workflow when adding records. When checked, this field will be included in the grid, as well as the detail window or tab workflow.

The first column displayed in the grid will contain links to open the detail window or tab workflow. For records that are missing a value in that first column, a View link will be displayed.

Editable in Grid This option is available when Enable Editing in Grid is checked for the grid, Display in Grid is checked for the current field, and the current field type is supported for this feature.

This feature allows the current field to be edited directly within the grid without having to open the detail window. Double-click a cell for an editable column to make changes. Clicking on another row or outside the grid saves the changes.

The following field types are supported: Text Box, Textbox (Decimal), Textbox (Integer), Checkbox, and Drop Down. However, if the field configuration is set to Read-Only, this checkbox will not be available.

Note that any field or panel override conditions will not be applied, but the Required setting in the field configuration will be enforced if it is enabled. In addition, data validations set for the grid will not be triggered, so any such validations should also be set for the parent page.



Read-Only Override

This option is available when Editable in Grid is checked and the current field is a Checkbox, Drop Down, Text Box, Textbox (Decimal) or Textbox (Integer). Another field in the panel can be chosen to make the current field read-only when the other field evaluates to True. The other field can be a Text Box, Label or Checkbox.

This is useful when a Checkbox should be editable directly in the grid but read-only under certain conditions.

Note: The system’s True/False evaluation of this feature is case-sensitive. The system will evaluate “True” as True, but evaluate “true” as False. When using a Text Box or Label, ensure that all values that should evaluate to True have a value of “True”, where T is capitalized.

A Checkbox will evaluate to True when it is checked, and False when it is unchecked.

e) Click Save & Close to save and close the window, or click Close to close the window without saving any changes.

f) On the Panel Management page, fields can be removed from the panel by checking the boxes for all fields to be removed, then click Delete.

6. By default, each panel is open, visible, and editable at all stages and statuses of the transaction or claim. The Panel Behavior Override is used to create rules that change the behavior based on a variety of options. The table lists all currently defined rules.

Tip: Overrides take effect when the page refreshes. Responsive Display of Panels, detailed in the Managing Screens section, causes panels to hide or appear immediately, and may be a useful alternative to overrides.



To delete override rules, check the boxes next to all appropriate rules and click Delete.

Click Add Panel Behavior to add a new override rule, or click a link in the Transaction Type Is column to view an existing rule. The Panel Behavior Override page opens.

a) Complete the necessary details to define the rule.

Select how the panel should behave under the defined circumstances.

Collapsed The panel starts out collapsed when the form is displayed. The user can still expand the panel to display the fields.

Hidden The panel is not shown in the form, although it is still present for use in triggers, calculated fields, and generating documents.

Read-Only The panel can be viewed, but cannot be edited.

The Trigger option is used to assign a trigger to the rule. The rule is only applied if the trigger evaluates as true.

Notes: Use caution when creating override rules for panels that contain fields used in triggers. It can create circumstances where users trigger changes in a form that they cannot undo.

When a user makes changes in a form that trigger an override rule, it does not occur immediately. The rule is applied when any action is taken that saves the form.

If a panel is hidden by a triggered override rule, all fields in that panel retain their current value.



Select the type of transaction where the rule applies.

New Business The original version of a submission or policy.

Endorsement A modification to a bound policy.

Adjustment An adjustment to a bound policy.

Declaration A periodical modification to a bound policy.

Renewal A renewal for an expired policy.

Cancellation A cancelled policy.

Reinstatement A policy that was reinstated after being cancelled.

Select the status of submission or policy where the rule applies.

Incomplete A submission that has not yet had a quote calculated.



Quoted A submission that has been quoted and is ready to be bound.

Referred A submission that does not meet the requirements of the master cover and has been submitted to the insurance representatives for review.

Bound A policy that has been bound.

Declined A quote request or referral that has been declined.

Indication Provided A preliminary quote has been issued, which cannot be bound. A full quote must still be requested, possibly requiring additional information.

Underwriting Required A submission that does not meet the requirements of the master cover and must either be corrected or submitted to the insurance representatives for review.

Payment Pending A submission that is awaiting payment before being bound.

Lost A quote that has been marked as lost business.

Select the types of user where the rule applies. The user viewing the form must have one or more of the selected security roles in order for the rule to be applied.

Note: At least one option must be selected in each category. For a rule to apply to all options in a category, all options must be selected.

b) Click Add & New to save the rule and clear the form to add additional rules, click Add & Close to save the rule and return to the panel details, or click Close to return to the panel details without saving the rule.



7. When each field was created, default behavior was defined. The Field Behavior Override is used to create rules that change the behavior based on a variety of options. The table lists all currently defined rules. This option is not available when Tabs is selected as the Management Style.

Tip: Overrides take effect when the page refreshes. Responsive Display of Fields, detailed in the next step, causes fields to hide or appear immediately, and may be a useful alternative to overrides.

To delete override rules, check the boxes next to all appropriate rules and click Delete.

Click Add Field Behavior to add a new override rule, or click a link in the Name column to view an existing rule. The Field Behavior Override page opens.

a) Complete the necessary details to define the rule.

Select the fields where the rule applies. All required fields should be added to the panel before defining the rules. If any fields are added to the panel that should be included in an existing rule, the rule must be edited to select the new fields.



Select how the field should behave under the defined circumstances. For each option select Yes to apply the behavior, No to not apply it, or Not Applicable to indicate that this behavior should not be changed by this rule.

Required The field must be completed before the user can save the screen.

Hidden The field is not shown in the form.

Read-Only The field can be viewed, but cannot be edited.

The Trigger option is used to assign a trigger to the rule. The rule is only applied if the trigger evaluates as true.

Notes: Use caution when creating override rules for fields that are used in triggers. It can create circumstances where users trigger changes in a form that they cannot undo.


If a field is hidden by a triggered override rule, it retains its current value.

When hiding a field included in a grid, the field is hidden when viewing the details page for an entry, but the column remains visible when viewing the grid itself.



Select the type of transaction where the rule applies.
















Indication Provided A preliminary quote has been issued, which cannot be bound. A full quote must still be requested, possibly requiring additional information.


Payment Pending A submission that is awaiting payment before being bound.




b) Click Add & New to save the rule and clear the form to add additional rules, click Add & Close to save the rule and return to the panel details, or click Close to return to the panel details without saving the rule.

8. In some cases, certain information will only be necessary under certain conditions. Responsive Display of Fields configurations allow fields to be hidden or displayed immediately when the user selects specific options in the panel.



The Responsive Display of Fields panel is available when Window is selected as the Management Style.

To delete configurations, check the boxes next to all appropriate configurations and click Delete.

Click Add to add a new configuration, or click a link in the Control Field column to view an existing configuration. The Responsive Display of Fields window opens.

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



Control Field Select the field from the current panel that will control the display of the selected fields. Fields of type Checkbox, Radio Buttons, and Combo Box are available.

Control Field Options This field is available when a Radio Buttons or Combo Box type field is selected as the Control Field.

For a Radio Buttons control field, this will be an include/exclude field. Select which options will display the selected fields. A selected option cannot be used in more than one configuration.

For a Combo Box control field, this will be a text field. Enter all values that will display the selected fields, separated by semi-colons. These should be the key values defined in the Data Source for the combo box. Spaces are permitted, but any spaces at the beginning or end of individual values will be ignored. A value cannot be used in more than one configuration.



Fields to Display Select the fields from the current panel that will be affected by this configuration. When the checkbox is checked or one of the Control Field Options are selected, the fields will be displayed. Note that File Upload and Rich Text control types are unavailable for this feature.

Note: If data exists in a field, either a default value or entered by the user, it will be maintained whether the field is displayed or hidden.

b) Click Save & New to save the configuration and clear the form to add additional configurations, click Save & Close to save the configuration and close the window, or click Close to close the window without saving the configuration.

9. A standard grid is a stand-alone entity with unique fields, and can only be used once in any workflow. View Grids can be defined to share the data stored in the master grid. Each View Grid can contain all fields from the master grid, or a subset of those fields. All rules for displaying fields and data, including overrides, are inherited from the master. Any changes to data within a View Grid will update the master grid.

Notes: Grids configured as parent or child cannot be used as a master or view grid. The View Grids panel will not be shown.

Only one grid from a single master/view configuration can be used on any one screen. Grids from separate configurations can be used on the same screen.

View Grids can be used in a workflow even if the master grid is not included.



Click a link in the Name column to save the current page and open an existing View Grid. Click Create to save the current page and open the Panel Management page to create a new view grid. To deactivate view grids, check the boxes next to all appropriate grids and click Deactivate.

View grids are configured much like the master grid, although with reduced options. Some settings are inherited from the master grid, and all fields and overrides are included by default.

Any fields and overrides that should not apply to this view can be deleted by checking the boxes and clicking the Delete button. Any deleted fields can be added again, but only fields included in the master grid will be available.

10.The Field Assignments panel is available for Grids and Premium Grids.

The Field Assignments panel is used to assign certain fields to special functionality within the grid.

Representative Field In some cases, the system will need to display an identifier for a single record out of the context of the grid itself. This identifier may be displayed as static text, or a link to the record.

Select the field to be used for the identifier text. Enter three or more characters to locate the appropriate field. For best results, the selected field should contain data that clearly identifies the record. In instances where the selected field is blank and a link must be available, a View link will be displayed instead. Fields of type Label, Textbox, Textbox (Decimal), Textbox (Email), and Textbox (Integer) are available.

Hyperlink Field A field in the grid can be selected to supply the links to specific pages within the workflow. Fields of type Label and Textbox are available. When a user clicks on a grid row’s hyperlink, the user will be navigated to the page specified in the row’s Hyperlink Field.

Note that using this feature disables the Add and Export / Import features, as well as the ability to open a detail window by clicking a link in the first column. The grid can only be populated by an integration configuration. Once populated, certain fields can be edited directly in the grid if configured with the Editable in Grid setting.



Active Marks the panel as active and available for use. If unchecked, the panel remains linked to any existing forms, but cannot be used for new forms.

Created By Identifies the date and time the panel was created, and the user who created it.

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

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

2. Locate the panel or panels to be deactivated. If there are a large number of available panels, see the Using Grids section of the User Guide - Introduction document for help on finding the appropriate panels.

3. Check the boxes for all panels to be deactivated.

4. Click Deactivate, then confirm the deactivation when prompted to do so. All selected panels are deactivated. If the panels list is still defaulted to only show active panels, they disappear from the list.

Tip: Individual panels can also be deactivated or reactivated directly through the panel record. See the section on Viewing and Modifying a Panel for details.



Managing Screens

Screens are used to group panels together. Each screen is one page in the final workflow, with navigation tools to move between screens.

Creating a New Screen

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Workflow Configurations, then Screens. A list of all available screens is displayed.


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

2. Click Create. The Screen Management page opens.




Name Enter the name of the screen. This is the internal name, used to select this screen 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 screen is saved.

Label Enter the label to be shown at the top of the screen.

Tip: Once the screen has been saved, the Label Text becomes 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.

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.

Depending on system settings, any buttons that do not fit within the available space in the Screen



Button Bar will either be hidden or will wrap to another line.

Line of Business Select a Line of Business from the list of industry presets, or select All to make the screen available to all lines.

Sequence Enter a Sequence number. This determines the panel's position in the screen, with lower numbers appearing first.



Tip: It is advisable to leave gaps between the sequence numbers, such as 5, 10, 15. This allows new panels to be added to the screen at a later date, inserted between existing panels. Otherwise, the sequence numbers of existing panels must be changed to allow for the new addition.

Click Save & New to save the panel and clear the form to add another panel, click Save & Close to save the panel and return to the screen page, or click Close to return to the screen page without saving the panel.

In some cases, certain information will only be necessary under certain conditions. Responsive Display of Panels configurations allow panels to be hidden or displayed immediately when the user selects specific options in another panel on the screen.

To delete configurations, check the boxes next to all appropriate configurations and click Delete.

Click Add to add a new configuration, or click a link in the Control Field column to view an existing configuration. The Responsive Display of Panels window opens.

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

Integration Configurations

The Bridge system can be integrated with a variety of external systems, transferring data through pre-configured channels. Integration can be set to occur automatically at specific points in the workflow, or can be triggered manually using buttons added to the Actions widget.

The Integration Configurations section is used to create and maintain these links between systems, but initial configuration must be done by Oceanwide. Contact your Oceanwide Representative to request that a specific integration be setup, and receive certain configuration details required for this page.

Creating a New Integration Configuration

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Workflow Configurations, then Integration Configurations. A list of all available configurations is displayed.

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

2. Click Create. The Integration Configuration Management page opens.




Name Enter the name of the configuration. This is the internal name, used to select this screen in the configurations list. This name does not appear on the form itself.

Code Enter a code to identify the integration configuration. If no code is provided, the system will generate one when the configuration is saved. When the save process is complete, this field becomes read-only.

Description Enter a description for this configuration.

Integration Type Select the type of integration. This is provided by your Oceanwide Representative.

E-Signature This integration type defines a document that will be generated by the system and then submitted to a digital signature service. The user digitally signs the document, which is then attached to the transaction.

Compliance Scan This integration type collects data from the transaction and submits the data to be compared to one or more international watch lists of restricted people and places. If any part of the data matches a restriction in a list, equaling or exceeding a specified threshold, the integration returns that the transaction is not compliant.

Policy Decisions Submits policy details to the Policy Decisions system, and maps the response data to a specific field structure in the policy. Due to the complexity of configuring this integration and the associated workflow, this option should be handled by your Oceanwide Representative.



Endpoint Code Enter the Endpoint Code for the external system. This is provided by your Oceanwide Representative. This field will not be displayed if it is not necessary for the selected integration type.

Action Select the type of action to initiate the integration configuration. This may be a direct action by the user, or an indirect action resulting from other activities. The configuration conditions are evaluated to determine if the integration is performed, and how it will be handled.

Bind The configuration will activate when the user attempts to bind a transaction with the Bind, Confirm Cancellation, or Confirm Reinstatement actions.

Calculate Quote The configuration will activate when the system performs a quote calculation. This can be activated by the user, triggered by navigating through a workflow, or automated processes such as the optional quote calculation after automatic renewal.

Calculate Refund The configuration will activate when the system performs a refund calculation. This can be activated by clicking on the Calculate Refund link in the Actions widget, clicking on the Calculate Refund button in the Cancel window, changing the cancellation date on a Cancellation – Quoted transaction, or during an Automatic Cancellation Initiation.

Note: This action requires Cancellation to be included in the Policy Transaction Types field and Incomplete and Quoted to be included in the Policy Transaction Statuses field.

Delete The configuration will activate when the user deletes a transaction by clicking on the Delete link in the Actions widget and then confirms the deletion.

Note that Post-Action is not available for Delete actions.

Mark as Lost The configuration will activate when a quote is marked as lost, either by manual action on the part of the user, or the timed expiry of the quote.

Reinstate The configuration will activate when the user creates a reinstatement transaction.

Notes: When Pre-Action is chosen from the Perform drop-down, Reinstatement must be included in the Policy Transaction Types field and Incomplete must be included in the Policy Transaction Statuses field.

When Post-Action is chosen from the Perform drop-down, Reinstatement must be included in the Policy Transaction Types field and Quoted must be included in the Policy Transaction Statuses field.

Request Quote The configuration will activate when the user clicks the Request Quote action from a transaction in Underwriting Required status, sending the transaction into Referred status.



Note that some users, commonly underwriters, will bypass Underwriting Required status and go directly to Referred status. This integration will not activate in those circumstances.

Save The configuration will activate with the following save events.

o Clicking Save & Refresh or Next in the policy workflow, except when the screen is complete and no changes have been made within the screen.

o Activating the Calculate Quote process, either manually or automatically.

o Clicking Select Quote in the Quote Summary window for a multi-quote workflow.

o Changing the Effective Date or Valid Until date in the Policy Information window, and clicking Save & Close. Except for Cancellation and Reinstatement transactions, where clicking Save & Close will save the settings even if no changes were made.

o If any changes are made to the Assured, including creating or selecting an assured, changing the assured, or editing the assured information and saving.

Note that field validations, such as invalid data or missing required fields, will prevent the save and the integration.

Custom Links the configuration to a custom item in the Actions widget, configured below.

Note: An optional setting is available to have the system automatically recalculate the quote on completion of a custom integration. This will occur if the current screen is set to Calculate Quote in the Master Cover – Validation & Workflow Actions page, and this option is enabled in the core system configuration. To confirm whether or not this option is enabled, please contact your Oceanwide Representative.This optional setting does not apply to E-Signature integration types.

Note: Only the most recent document for each code and status combination is tracked in the transaction information.If a specific document has been generated and is in Signed status, while another version of the same document has been generated but is in SigningPending status, they will both be available.Once the second document is signed, it will replace the first signed document.This only applies to the document information stored in the transaction data. The actual documents will all be available in the Documents/Forms list.



Managing Workflows

A workflow is a collection of fields, panels, and screens that define how the end users will navigate and enter data for submissions and claims. This is the final step in the workflow design process, although additional configuration is required at the master cover level. See the Managing Master Covers section of the User Guide - Master Covers document for instructions on attaching and configuring a workflow.

There are core workflows, used for submissions and claims, that are divided into Steps. Each step contains as many screens as necessary. The navigation options within the workflow allows user to navigate through steps and screens.

Tabbed workflows are connected to tab grids within a core workflow. When adding a record to a tab grid, the tab workflow replaces the core workflow in the center of the page. Each screen is displayed as a tab, and the tabs are used to navigate through the workflow. When the user is finished with the tab workflow, closing the record returns to the core workflow.

The workflow and all of its components are one resource used in the creation and operation of the master covers and submission process.

Other resources can also be created. Some are optional, but others are required when preparing a master cover. These resources are detailed below.

Managing Clauses Defining legal clauses to be used in the submission form and documentation.

Managing Triggers Creating the conditions used by the system to make detailed logical decisions.

Managing Email Templates Creating templates to be used for both automated and manual email communications.

Managing Document Templates Importing templates to be used in the generation of documents.

Managing Clauses

Clauses are segments of legal text or other information that can be assembled into a full policy document.

Individual clauses are defined in the system, and then attached to various features or pulled into generated documents.

Creating a New Clause

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Clauses. A list of all available clauses is displayed.



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

2. Click Create. The Clause Management page opens.


Name Enter the name of the clause. This is the internal name, used to select this clause in the master cover. This name does not appear on the form itself.

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



Line of Business Select a Line of Business from the list of industry presets, or select All to make the clause available to all lines.

Product Select an available product, or select All to make the clause available to all products.

4. In the text area, enter the full text to be included in this clause. The integrated toolbar includes a full set of formatting tools to create and maintain the appearance of the text.

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

Viewing and Modifying a Clause





2. Click a link in the Name column to view the clause details. If there are a large number of available clauses, see the Using Grids section of the User Guide - Introduction document for help on finding the appropriate clause.

3. See the section on Creating a New Clause for a detailed description of the fields. All fields may be edited, if necessary.

Active Marks the clause as active and available for use. If unchecked, the clause remains linked to any master covers, but cannot be used for new master covers.

Created By Identifies the date and time the clause was created, and the user who created it.

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



4. Click Save to save any changes and remain on the page, click Save & Close to save and return to the clause list, or click Close to return to the clause list without saving any changes.

Deactivating a Clause

Once created, a clause cannot be deleted. It can be deactivated, which leaves it linked to any existing products, but prevents it from being used for new products.



2. Locate the clause or clauses to be deactivated. If there are a large number of available clauses, see the Using Grids section of the User Guide - Introduction document for help on finding the appropriate clauses.

3. Check the boxes for all clauses to be deactivated.

4. Click Deactivate, then confirm the deactivation when prompted to do so. All selected clauses are deactivated. If the clause list is still defaulted to only show active clauses, they disappear from the list.



Tip: Individual clauses can also be deactivated or reactivated directly through the clause record. See the section on Viewing and Modifying a Clause for details.



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.

Creating a New Trigger

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Triggers. A list of all available triggers is displayed.

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.




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.

Note that universal triggers are not supported in Claims workflows.

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.

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.



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.



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.

The following resources are included in the export. Only resources associated with the selected master cover and attached workflow are included, unless otherwise noted.

Fields Fields used in the workflow.

Panels Panels used in the workflow.

Screens Screens used in the workflow.

Workflow The workflow selected in the master cover.

Option Lists All option lists included in the workflow attached to the selected master cover, and any option lists attached to the master cover itself.

Master Cover All pages and settings are included except for Product Description which must be manually copied to the new system.The Insurers settings are included, but the companies themselves are not. Likewise, the Master Cover Associations from the Distributor Information configurations are included, while the companies themselves are not. Each company must exist in the target system with the same Code as on the source system. If a company is not present at the time of import, or has the wrong Code, the settings for that company are discarded from the master cover and must be recreated manually.The Policy Numbering page is copied, but if the import overwrites an existing master cover, the Next Sequence Number in the existing master cover is not overwritten.For attachment types listed in the Attachment Type Settings panel on the Policy Settings page, only the types included in the currently attached list will be exported.

Clauses The clauses attached to the master cover.

Product The product selected in the master cover.



Product Model If the workflow includes any Combo Box type fields, the fields will be included as well as the associated product that contains the data for the field.

Premium Types All premium types available to the selected master cover, including those with the same line of business or all lines of business.

E-mail Templates All active e-mail configurations in the master cover are included, as well as the associated e-mail templates. Inactive configurations are excluded.

Triggers All triggers associated with the product, including inactive triggers. Also includes universal triggers not directly associated to the product, if that option is checked.

Taxes The tax and fee configurations attached to the master cover.



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.




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.



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.



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.

Impact Assessments

An Impact Assessment is a system-generated report that summarizes how existing transactions would differ if they were created under the newest version of their master cover. When the impact assessment runs, a user-defined list of policy terms have their transactions copied by the system. Each of these transaction copies then undergoes the Get Quote and Bind process as defined by the most recently published version of the master cover. The system will then analyze all the differences between each original transaction and its copy. The results of this analysis are then displayed on the Impact Assessment Results page.

Notes:The system analyzes only the following transaction types: New Business, Endorsement, Renewal and Adjustment.

The system ignores any master cover settings that specify rules for copying transactions. This ensures that all values in the copied transaction are identical to those in the original.

Creating an Impact Assessment

1. In the main menu, select Product Design, then select Impact Assessment. The Impact Assessment List page opens.

2. Click Start New. The Impact Assessment Request page opens.




The General Information panel is used to create a query that will return a list of policy terms for a specified master cover. The policies whose transactions will be summarized in the impact assessment can then be chosen from the list.

Name Enter a name for the impact assessment.

Description Enter a description for the impact assessment.

Master Cover Select the master cover whose transactions will be analyzed by the impact assessment.

Term Effective Date

All policies whose Term Effective Date falls within this range are returned by the query. If no dates are specified, all policies for the selected Master Cover are returned.

Note: For any Impact Assessment Request, this panel is only available before the user presses the Start button. Once the button is pressed, information about the impact assessment will be available in a row in the grid on the Impact Assessment List page. Within the grid, the impact assessment request’s Name will appear in the Name column, and its master cover will appear in the Product column.

4. Click Search. A list of available policy terms is displayed.




5. In the first column, check the box for each policy term to be included in the impact assessment.

6. Click Start to submit the impact assessment request to the system and return to the Impact Assessment List page, or click Close to cancel the impact assessment request.

Once the impact assessment request has been submitted, its progress can be viewed on the Impact Assessment List page. For information on viewing an impact assessment, see the Viewing an Impact Assessment section.

Notes:The impact assessment process may take an extended period of time, depending on the number of transactions to be analyzed. After submitting the request and returning to the Impact Assessment List page, you can continue using Bridge normally until the impact assessment is complete.Partial results become available as policy terms are processed. Viewing the Impact Assessment displays all results available at the time.

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 in Policy E-mails



A table can be added to the policy e-mail 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.

Tables in Claims E-mails

A table can be added to the claims e-mail 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 markers that identify the beginning and end of the table, and identify the source table for the data.

[[TableStart:TableCode]]



Content and field placeholders[[TableEnd:TableCode]]

Where TableCode is the code for the table. For dynamic grids within the workflow, this would be the Code from the Panel Management page. For system tables, the code is provided in the description for the field placeholders.

When the e-mail is generated, the system inserts all text between the markers, replacing any placeholders with the appropriate values for that entry. It then repeats the line for the next entry in the table.

For example, a grid with the code RegionalPercentages has three fields. The placeholders for the first two fields are [[RegionName]] and [[Percentage]]. The third field is not required in the e-mail. The table entry in the email template would appear as follows (markers and placeholders are marked in bold):

[[TableStart:RegionalPercentages]]The percentage for region [[RegionName]] is [[Percentage]]%.[[TableEnd:RegionalPercentages]]

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.



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.



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.



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.
