Attachments: When scanning and attaching paperwork within the System, the current attachment popup requires that agents scroll to select the applicable attachment type. A smart search feature has been added that allows the user to begin typing the attachment type in the Attachment Type field and the System will navigate the user to the attachment name for selection. This smart search feature may be used in place of a user scrolling to find the attachment type in the list of available attachment types.

DESCRIPTION ID #

A request was received to add Feeder Cattle Types to the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) Application to help with adding coverages for any types the grower may want early in the RY. This would be helpful to get a transmission sent in to make sure there are no errors that need to be resolved. Then, down the road, when the grower decides they want to add premium, they can fill out the Specific Coverage Endorsement (SCE). The following updates were made to the LRP Application for all years:

• The revision date was updated to "08-2019".
• The SBI section was updated to spread across the page.
• A new section was created for coverage line information that includes Type.
• The County field was updated to print the Policy County instead of the Entity County.
• The Page 2 header was updated to no longer include the AIP logo and contact info. The AIP logo was replaced with the Insured's Name and Agency's Name plus Code. The AIP contact info was replaced with Crop Year and Policy Number.

Companion Policy: An issue was found internally while testing another companion ticket. In the popup that appears when a companion link is hovered over, it was found that, if the Grower Name contained a comma or was long in length, only a portion of the name was displaying due to text wrapping. For example, "MyCropTech Test Farms, LLC" was only displaying as "LLC" in the popup. This logic was updated to display the full name when commas or longer grower names are used.

Companion Policy: An issue was found with an incorrect unit structure on companion policies when revisions were made on the source policy. The issue was due to a full save not being performed on the companion policy detail lines. After processing the acreage changes on the source policy, the user went to the companion policy to apply AR Sign Dates and complete the detail lines but none of the companion policy lines were marked as modified so the System didn’t perform a full save on the detail lines, which caused the unit structure to not get updated. When a companion premium line is updated due to data being changed on its source premium line, the System now checks to see if the Unit Structure (UnitOptionCode) needs to be updated as well.
