2. What is the difference between policy contract data and policy tool
data?
Ans=> policy contract data:-A policy is a contract of insurance that
describes the term, coverage, premiums, and deductible. A policy protects
the insured from accidental loss. policy tool data:- Policy tool data includes
information related to risk assessment models,rating algorithms,and
Underwritting guidelines

3. While a policy is in force, is there only one PolicyCenter user associated

with the policy?
Ans:- Yes, if policy is in active state then there is no need of more
number of PolicyCenter user to associated with the policy
4. Assume a given instance of PolicyCenter has 2 policy lines, each with 3
coverables, how many entities are there that store-
a) Coverables?
b) Coverages?
c) Costs?
d) Rate factors?
 Ans=>
5. What is the purpose of the UserRoleAssignment entity?
Ans=> UserRoleAssignment Entity used to assign the role to user ex:-
Creator, Producer, Underwriter etc. UserRoleAssignment entity implement
primary assignment. primary assignment assigns an entity to a single owner
only. The entity must implement either the Assignable delegate or the
PCAssignable delegate, or both.

6. Why does Activity connect directly to User and Group (without passing
through UserRoleAssignment?
Ans=> Because, It is possible that the assigned group can affect visibility
and permissions. For that Immediate assignment methods assign an object
directly to the specified user or group.
Activity.CurrentAssignment.AssignUserAndDefaultGroup(User.util.CurrentUs
er)

7. What types of organizations are stored in Organization?

Ans=> Organization contains agency, users, groups, broker, managing
general agent and producer codes all belong to a organization.

8. When you navigate between locations in a location group:

a) What changes?
Ans:- Location property
b) What remains the same?
Ans:- sidebar and tab bar

9. What two things can a location ref point to?

Ans=> Location and functions
10.What happens if a location group's canVisit attribute is evaluated to
false?
Ans=> A location group is a collection of locations. If we evaluate the false
value for canVisit attribute then the location ref we added in location group
those location ref (pages) are not visible for users in UI.

11.When viewing a location group PCF file in Studio, which Studio tab
specifies how to navigate to a particular location group?
Ans=> Side Bar consist action menu links(Menu item)

12.Name three things that are true of a job wizard that are not true of a
location group.
Ans=>
Job Wizard Location group
Job wizard contains wizard Location group does not
step, wizard step ref, contain wizard step,
wizard step group etc. wizard step ref, wizard
step group etc.
Job wizard use to create Location group does not
steps in specific order. use to create steps in
specific order.
Job wizard consist Location group does not
properties like onEnter, consist properties like
onExit, onChange etc. onEnter, onExit, onChange
etc.

13.Why would you want to put job wizard steps into a step group? A step
set?
Ans=> Wizard is location that contains multiple screens in specific order and
toolbar to work through wizard. We used wizard steps into step group or a
step set to complete Complex tasks that users can complete more easily
when the process is divided into a series of smaller and simpler steps.
14.What attribute controls the order of appearance of job wizard steps in
the user interface?
Ans=> Using next button
15.How does a step behave differently if you set its independent attribute
to true?
Ans=> If we set independent attribute as true in wizard step then wizard
step set allows all the steps contains inside set to move from one step to
another individually. As the user moves through the wizard, the wizard calls
functions in the job code for processing and may indirectly access rule sets
and workflows. The job code contains most of the code for the job and also
interacts with the rule sets and workflows. In some cases, the wizard
accesses the workflow directly.
16.What is a job wizard's entry point? What other elements of the user
interface reference a job wizard's entry point?
Ans=> Entry points used to link specific pages location. An entry point takes
the form of a URL with a specific syntax and job wizard’s entry point
specifies a location. Entry Point Parameter, Exit Point Parameter and
Forward condition are the elements in job wizard.
17.What is underwriting authority?
Ans=> Underwriting is the process of examining, accepting, or rejecting
insurance risks and classifying the ones that are accepted, in order to charge
appropriate premiums for them. Underwriting authority profiles determine
the types of underwriting issues that a particular underwriter can approve.
When the underwriter approves an underwriting issue then policy
transaction can proceed. Underwriting authority in PolicyCenter provides
features for creating underwriting issues on a policy and for reviewing and
approving those issues.
18.What does the UWIssueType system table define?
Ans=> The UWIssueType system table defines issue types for underwriting
and regulatory policy holds. You can view this table in Product Designer by
navigating to System Tables and selecting uw_issues_types.xml. The
following table lists some of the values in the UWIssueType system table for
policy hold underwriting issue types. When a policy hold applies,
PolicyCenter creates an underwriting issue of one of the policy hold types
specified in the UWIssueType system table.
19.What does an evaluation rule do?
Ans=> Create issues automatically in the Evaluation rule sets in Guidewire
Studio. When PolicyCenter calls the Evaluation rule sets at various points
during renewal, the system identifies and generates underwriting issues.

20.What values should be used as IssueKey to raise issues? Should this

value be changed after a rule is in production?
Ans=> We can use any value (text template) as a issuekey but it should be
unique. No, It should be never changed after rule in production.
21.Name three blocking points for an issue.
Ans=> 1) Blocks Bind 2) Blocks Quote 3) Blocks Issuance
22.What is a checking set?
Ans=> Checking sets are the places in a policy transaction where
PolicyCenter checks to see if an issue needs to be raised. You specify a
checking set value for each underwriting rule. For example, PolicyCenter
checks for high-valued vehicles before quoting the policy.

23.With regards to field-level validation, under what circumstances would

you use a <column-override> tag?
Ans=> <column-override> use to modify data type attributes such as size,
logicalSize, and encryption, add a columnParam subelement under a
column-override. Then, set the data type attributes on the columnParam.

24.What happens if a widget's validation expression returns null?

Ans=> If widget's validation expression returns null then the written
validation Is not going to validate the required condition and field will
accept the invalid values.
25.You need to create a driver’s license ID field. Would this be a data level
validation or field level validation?
Ans=> Field level validation.
26.Which type of objects in PolicyCenter use validation rules? Give two
examples.
Ans=> Example: - Account, UWIssueType, Activity,Contact,User

27.Can existing validation levels be removed from PolicyCenter? Can new

levels be added?
Ans=> yes, existing validation levels can be remove from PolicyCenter and
new level can be added.

28.If you have an existing reject statement which raises only a warning, how
would you change it to instead raise an error?
Ans=> In this condition instead of using warning level parameter use error
level parameter then it will raise an error.

29.The first argument of rejectField is a "relative path" to the object to

highlight. Why is it relevant to keep in mind that the path is relative?
Ans=> Path indicates a problem with a particular field, provides an error
message, and directs the user to the correct field to fix.

30.Name the validation context method that produces a string of methods

that were visited as validation was performed.
Ans=> 1) ShowVisited()

31.Name three policy-related objects in PolicyCenter on which class-based

validation is performed.
Ans=> Guidewire provides class-based validation only for policy objects. The
objects are: 1)PolicyContact 2)PolicyLocation 3)PolicyPeriod
32.Define validation chaining.
Ans=> Validation chaining is the process of one validation class calling
another validation class to perform additional validation checks. Thus, to
chain validation:

33.Name the PCF attributes used to invoke class-based validation in a popup

and in a job wizard.
Ans=> Before Save
34.State true or false:
a) All entities in PolicyCenter can be validated.
b) All validation classes must have a validateImpl or doValidate
method. =>True
c) The doValidate method should be last method in a class.
Ans=> b)
