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.

Copy and paste LOB values from a spreadsheet

Save time by copying and pasting LOB (line of business) values from a spreadsheet into TouchstoneTouchstone.

This method may be useful if you have multiple unrecognized values. You can copy the values from the LOB Mapping grid to a spreadsheet, edit the LOB values, and then paste the LOB values back into the Industry LOB or UNICEDE LOB column.

Procedure

Navigate to the LOB Mapping tab.
Right-click anywhere in the grid and do one of the following:
- Select Select All from the shortcut menu.
- Hold down Ctrl and press A.
Right-click in the highlighted area and do one of the following:
- Select Copy.
- Hold down Ctrl and press C.
Open a spreadsheet:
1. Paste the copied data into a blank worksheet.
  The copied data includes the column headings.
2. Enter LOB values in the Industry LOB or UNICEDE LOB column.
  The values must be valid for the associated country. In the spreadsheet, copy only the values that are in the Industry/UNICEDE LOB column.
In Touchstone, on the LOB Mapping tab, select the target Industry LOB or UNICEDE LOB cells and paste the values from the spreadsheet into those cells.
If you copy the same number of values into the same number of rows, Touchstone copies the values in sequence.

If you copy seven LOB values into seven cells, Touchstone copies the first value into the first cell, the second value into the second cell, etc. However, Touchstone does not copy LOB values that are not valid for a particular country. You can also choose to copy only one or more values from a spreadsheet and then paste them into multiple cells in Touchstone. For example, you can enter Commercial in the spreadsheet and copy it. Then, on the LOB Mapping tab, select the target cells and paste Commercial into all the selected cells.
