Choosing the Analysis Type in Geospatial Analysis

This is Step 1 in the process. In the New Geospatial Analysis pane, after selecting the analysis target or targets, click Step 1 - Choose Analysis Type. A pane opens where you select:

Exposure type

Property, Workers' Compensation, or both Property and Workers' Compensation

Analysis type

You can select one of four types of accumulation or you can select intersections with GIS hazard layers.

• When you select Property as the exposure type, you can accumulate by zonal accumulations , ring accumulations , event accumulations, and custom boundaries. While configuring the accumulations, you can integrate AIR or custom hazard layers and one set of location-level or location summary-level loss results; to do this, you configure intersections.

• When you select Hazards and Intersections , you can aggregate your total replacement value (TRV) based on GIS hazard layers or with loss results. This option does not send the locations to the financial engine for application of financial terms and limits (as it does for the accumulation types of exposures).

• When you select Workers' Compensation, you can accumulate only by rings. You cannot integrate hazard layers or loss results when you configure the accumulations.

• When you select both Property and Workers' Compensation, the only available analysis type is Ring Accumulation.

The exposure type that you select determines your choices in this step and in subsequent steps.
