Terms (Location Terms) |
You can define multiple coverage term sets for a location, each one based on a unique combination of peril, limits, and deductibles. You can include a particular peril only once in the entire series of coverage term sets for a location. When you use AIR ImportExpress to import locations, you can define up to six coverage term sets for each location; this limit does not exist when you define coverage term sets for a location using the Touchstone user interface. When importing locations, you can define multiple coverage term sets for a location by appending a numeric suffix, such as "1" or "-1," at the end of each field in each term set. For example, to import a location with two coverage term sets, you can specify "LocPerils1" in the first coverage term set and "LocPerils2" in the second coverage term set. You can add term sets from the Terms tab located at the bottom of the Locations tab. To add one or more term sets, open a contract, select the Terms tabs, and then click Add Term Set. Touchstone adds the term set columns at the far right of the Terms tab. As you scroll, you will see the identifier for each set of terms: Term 2, Term 3, Term 4, Term 5, and Term 6. You cannot add a new term set if any location in the grid has six term sets. If, however, a location has less than six terms while another location in the same contract has six terms, you can add a new term set by clicking a location ID and manually adding terms in the Terms grid in the Location Details pane. |
