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

Understanding tabs, panes, and docking

In Touchstone and Touchstone Re, the user interface allows you to open multiple components at one time.

These components include:

Projects or contracts in Touchstone.
Companies or portfolios in Touchstone Re.

Within each of these components multiple subcomponents can be opened at the same time as a tab and viewed alongside each other or stacked horizontally. You can also undock tabs to create new windows. When you have many tabs or windows, you can close many at the same time by selecting one tab, right-clicking it, and then selecting Close All But This.

For example, you can use tabs to:

Compare losses side by side.
View an exposure summary in one window while configuring a loss analysis in a different window.
View an exposure summary in one window while reviewing loss results in different window.
