Assessment program

An "assessment" program provides flexibility by allowing contract loss from a "source" program to be used as loss input to the "subject" program.

Companies > [Company] > Programs > Program Details > Relationships > Assessment Program

An assessment program can be used in lieu of a CLF or aggregate exposure option as the source of company losses. It resides in the same business unit and is tagged as an assessment program.

To mark a program as an assessment program enable the toggle in the Program Options pane. When an assessment program is associated with a subject program, participation perspective of those contract losses must also be specified. This is necessary as the same assessment program may be linked to subject programs in different companies, each of which will have a unique participation in the assessment program losses.

Assessment programs associated with a company show up in Available Programs Template > Assessment where it can be dragged into the Relationships Canvas.

Note:

A program marked for Assessment Program cannot be marked for Contract gain.
