Touchstone uses grids extensively to present information. In many cases you can change the grid presentation for a new perspective on the information.

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.

Grids

Touchstone uses grids extensively to present information. In many cases you can change the grid presentation for a new perspective on the information.

You can select, cut or copy, and paste information into other applications and sometimes paste information into the grid, depending on whether you are working in an exposure grid or results grid. Touchstone grids are tables that display projects, exposure views, contracts, and exposure data. Touchstone includes many different grids, including those used in the following components:

Projects pane
Exposure Summary Dashboard (Exposure Views)
Contract List
Locations List
Layers List
Step Functions
Activity Monitor
Data Source Manager
Zone Set Manager

You can sort and filter grid information, cut, copy, and paste it, and otherwise organize it to be optimally useful to you. The individual functions you can use with a grid depend on the type of grid you are working with.
