Adminstration Console > Object Management > Loss Analysis Template > Output > Output Options Pane

This pane appears when you configure an analysis, whether it is a Detailed Loss Analysis or a Marginal Impact, Loss Group, Loss Comparative Analysis, or CAT XOL analysis. You configure the latter analyses by selecting loss analysis results and then running analyses on the analysis results. The Output Options pane for the latter analyses varies according to the analysis.

The Output Options pane enables you to configure the output that Touchstone generates for various loss analyses. You can set defaults for a Detailed Loss Analysis in the Loss Analysis Template.

Field

Description

Can Be Included in a Template?

Loss Perspectives

Specifies the loss perspectives to include in the output from this catastrophe peril analysis. The perspectives include: Ground Up, Retained, Pre-Layer Gross, Gross, Net of Pre-CAT, and Post-CAT Net.

Note:

CAT XOL analysis includes the Post-CAT Net loss, along with other perspectives, in the target's AnalysisID table.

Yes

Save Loss By

Specifies the resolution, that is, the level of event detail, by which you want to save loss information for this catastrophe peril analysis. The options include: Portfolio, Contract, and Location, with various options for each, including event detail and ability to generate summary and annual EPs and TVAR. See Saving Losses By for information about each option.

Note:

For a CAT XOL analysis, the Save Loss By area indicates the resolution by which the original analysis saved loss information. In addition, you can specify the applicable geographic level by which you want to save CAT XOL analysis results.

Yes

CLF Compatibility Note

Specifies whether the output settings selected for this catastrophe peril analysis or CAT XOL analysis will produce results that are compatible with Company Loss File (CLF) generation. See Saving Losses By for more information.

N/A

Summary (AAL Only)

Specifies whether to include AAL summary information for this catastrophe peril analysis. You can include results for each contract or for each location (which automatically include results for each contract). See Saving Losses By for more information.

  • Contract Summary: Includes the AAL (Average Annual Losses) results for each contract instead of including the event losses for each contract.

  • Location Summary: Includes the AAL results for each location instead of including the event losses for each location. If you select this option, Touchstone automatically selects Contract Summary.

Note:

For a CAT XOL analysis, this area indicates which summary information Touchstone will include, based on which information the original analysis included.

Yes

Additional Details

Enables you to include additional details in the loss results for this catastrophe peril analysis. Options include: Injury type, MAOL, EP by Peril, EP by Model, and Zone.

Note:

You cannot view Comparative Loss Analysis or Marginal Impact results by peril or model even if the results sets used in the analysis include this information.

Yes

Zone Output

Accumulates exposures in one or more selected zone sets. Options include: selecting zones by peril and retaining the annual EP table by zone. See Configuring a Zonal Loss Analysis for more information.

Touchstone computes losses at the zone level, not at the zone set level. It generates AAL and EP curves by zones. The losses by zone are visible in the user interface and are available for export. They are also available in the databases. Losses by contract by zone, losses by layer by zone, and losses by LOB by treaty by zone are not visible in the user interface; however, you can export the loss results via Export and access the results through the back-end databases.

To reduce the amount of data stored in databases, Touchstone saves results into the databases only by the selected loss perspectives.

Note:

You can create and edit loss analysis templates to specify default settings for detailed loss analyses. When you create or edit a loss analysis template, you can include any of the settings in the preceding table.
