Mapping

DESCRIPTION ID #

Mapping: Updates were made to Mapping Production Report.

This ticket updated the design of the Yield Summary report found in mapping.

201860

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Users could navigate to the Add New Detail Line pop up, Maintain Detail Line pop up, Add APH screen, Maintain APH screen, and PAW screen via a hyperlink on the Detail Lines tab. This enhancement extended that functionality to allow directional navigation between the Add/Maintain Detail Line, PAW, and APH screens without requiring a Save & Exit.

Changes that were made:

This enhancement expanded the existing navigation functionality by enabling users to move directionally between the Detail Line, PAW, and APH screens. Each navigation action triggered an automatic background save, ensuring that no data was lost during the transition. This removed the current reliance on "Save & Exit".

221107

The Online Help Site was updated with topics as well as with current release notes.

224114

It was reported that SOIs were being regenerated when suspensions were cleared, even though there were no revisions to the policy that would impact premium, liability, etc. (e.g., "Claims production data for ####-#### exists, but the APH was not updated because the current date is after the Claims Production Roll cutoff date of May 1st. Company review required." and "An open inspection exists on this coverage. Underwriting review is required.") In researching, it was found that clearing a suspension changed the SOI database flag to "1". That flag worked as an override and caused a policy to get re-generated regardless of revisions.

Changes that were made:

The logic for Auto SOI was updated so an SOI will only get regenerated when a suspension is cleared if there were changes to the premium, liability, conservation compliance status, or contract price. This applied for 2025+ Reinsurance Years.
