Using Touchstone online Help
You can access the top-level or context-sensitive Touchstone online help from within the application or from the Client Portal. You can then search for content, bookmark pages, and generate output to other formats.
Import data from external sources
You can import exposure data, map layers, projects, and reinsurance packages from external sources into Touchstone databases.
Projects and exposure views
Projects are a useful way to organize your data. They contain exposure views that contain the data that you want to focus on.
Geospatial analysis
Geospatial analysis enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis with your own view of risk on accumulations of property exposures and workers' compensation information in given areas exposed to natural and man-made catastrophes.
Exposure data validation
Verisk provides a reference containing information about Touchstone exposure data.
Data Quality analysis
The most effective way to assess and enhance portfolio-level or contract-level catastrophe exposure data is to use Touchstone's Data Quality diagnostics. These diagnostics enable you to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the exposure data you are using for analyses and supplement that data when it is missing or weak.
Hazard analysis
Hazard analysis enable you to identify the relevant catastrophe hazards for locations in your exposure data.
About loss analyses
Touchstone enables you to model catastrophic (CAT) events to estimate property and workers' compensation losses.
Reinsurance
The Reinsurance Program Manager enables you to create, import, and manage reinsurance programs.
Touchstone data export types
Touchstone enables you to export different types of data.
Activity Monitor
The Activity Monitor displays the status of all activities.
Managing data sources
Use Data Source Management to manage Touchstone databases.
User model management
Use User Model Management to build custom non-Verisk models and seamlessly integrate them into Touchstone.

About Loss Analysis templates

Touchstone loss analysis templates enable users with administrator privileges to specify defaults for a detailed loss analysis.

Administration Console > Object Management > Loss Analysis Template

Verisk provides two loss analysis templates: AIR Default Loss Template and Florida Rate Filing Analysis template. The latter template is used to run analyses only with the settings required by FLOIR (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation) for rate making. Some settings available to other analyses are not available in this template. For example, you cannot select a model and you can only select one of two Florida regulatory event sets. You can only select the Wind peril and cannot select event set filters, financial settings, or flexibility.

To use this template, you must have the appropriate loss analysis license. You cannot modify any templates with a lock icon.
