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.

Map unrecognized LOB values

In Touchstone, you can map unrecognized user line-of-business (LOB) values to valid Touchstone LOB values.

You can map unrecognized LOB values during the following operations:

During export of exposure data to UNICEDE 2 files.
During export of loss results to company loss files (CLFs).

Touchstone maps a user LOB value to an industry/UNICEDE LOB value only if the Industry/UNICEDE LOB value is valid for the selected country. For example, you cannot map a user LOB value for Japan to Mobile Home—if you try to copy and paste Mobile Home into a row where Japan is the country, nothing will change.

There are several methods for mapping LOB values after you navigate to an LOB Mapping tab.

Map a single unrecognized user LOB value to an industry or UNICEDE LOB value.
Copy and paste an LOB value.
Copy and paste a single LOB value into multiple LOB cells.
Copy and past LOB values from a spreadsheet into Touchstone.
