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.

Associate HPC node groups

System administrators install and configure Microsoft® HPC components, when they install Touchstone and Touchstone Re .

Administration Console > HPC Resource Management > HPC Node Group Association

Note:

For more information, refer to the Touchstone/Touchstone Re Installation Guide on the Client Portal.

Configure HPC resources in the HPC Node Group Association pane. For your changes to take effect, the application prompts you to restart both the IIS Application Services component and the Touchstone or Touchstone Re client.


Parameters and Buttons	Description
Common buttons	Use these buttons (when applicable) and the parameters below to configure the HPC resources.
	Click to add a new node group association. Required fields are marked in red.
Business Unit	Select one or more business units to associate with the node group.
Role	Select one or more roles to associate with the node group.
Activity Type	Select one or more activity types to associate with the node group.
Minimum/Maximum Cores	Enter the minimum and maximum number of cores for the activity type to use. Either the system administrator or business unit administrator sets the number of available cores.If you select the LOSS activity type, note that it supports a minimum of 2 cores and a maximum of 10 cores in pairs of two. The maximum for LOSS must be less than or equal to the maximum number of cores available in the HPC cluster. Users can only specify an even number of cores in the New Detailed Loss Analysis > Analysis Management pane.
Node Group	Select a node to include in the node group. Click in the Node Group cell and then select a group from the Node Group list.
