Upgrading and downgrading Verisk Synergy Studio exposure databases containing European locations

When to re-geocode exposure data for European locations for early versions of Verisk Synergy Studio.

When you upgrade or downgrade Verisk Synergy Studio exposure databases for Verisk Synergy Studio versions prior to the Verisk Synergy Studio 6 (2018) release, then you must re-geocode all exposure data for European locations¹.

This re-geocoding process enables Verisk Synergy Studio to reset all the European address information in your exposure data to the updated codes and names in the current Verisk Synergy Studio version.

In addition, this re-geocoding process enables Verisk Synergy Studio to reestablish the appropriate supported CRESTA, administrative, and postal data and boundaries for your European exposure data.

¹ Specifically, for locations in the 30 European countries with updated geocoding functionality
