About submission management

When you create a new submission, Connected Underwriting P&C (CU P&C) automatically creates a new Submission record, which allows you to review submission information, risk details, tasks, alerts, and much more.

View submissions

You can view submission records from the MY WORKBENCH and SUBMISSIONS pages. You can also search and filter the Submissions list from either location to return only the submission records you want to see.

MY WORKBENCH and SUBMISSIONS pages with search and filter options

MY WORKBENCH displays your submissions in a list view under the SUBMISSIONS LIST tab. From here, you can view your submission records, organized and sorted into three tabs by your most recently updated submissions, submissions assigned to you that constitute new business, and submissions assigned to you that constitute renewed business. For details on viewing and managing policy renewals, including renewal statuses, filters, and actions, see Renewal Management.

Risk details

The Risk Details tab shows a view of all the insured entities connected to a submission, categorized by their line of business. You can drill down into each line of business using the Details links.

Risk Details tab listing insured entities categorized by line of business with Details links

  • Loss History: Shows high-level information associated with past claims for a specific line of business.
  • Details: Shows more detailed information on the assets insured for a specific line of business.

For renewal submissions, you can compare new risk data against existing policy data to identify changes that may impact underwriting decisions. See Risk data comparison for more information.

Financial performance

The Financial Performance tab helps underwriters assess an organization's fiscal health and long-term stability. It provides a consolidated view of up to five years of historical financial data, supporting more accurate risk assessments for lines of business like Management Liability.

The page is organized into three interlinked sections:

  • Financial performance overview: Displays the raw data.
  • Key metrics: Automatically calculates year-over-year changes.
  • AI Copilot: Provides a narrative summary and risk assessment based on the data.

For renewal submissions, the Financial Performance section is view-only. Underwriters can view existing policy data but cannot edit it directly. See Update submission data for details on view-only sections.

Quote

The Quote tab provides a centralized workspace for managing the financial proposal process, allowing underwriters to create, rate, and refine various insurance options for a submission. It facilitates the transition from initial coverage selection to final binding through integrated rating and referral workflows.

The quoting process is organized into three primary actions:

  • Create Quote: Establish the high-level container by entering a Quote Name, Inception Date, and Expiration Date (defaulted to one year from inception).
  • Edit Quote: Modify existing quote details, such as names or effective dates, directly from the main workspace as long as the submission remains open.
  • Create Quote Option: Define specific coverage scenarios by selecting products like D&O or EPL and entering Rating Inputs (limits/retentions) and Rating Worksheet values (Default, Suggested, Min/Max premiums).

  • A history of the most recent sanctions check.
  • A list view of any matched and unmatched sanctions results.
  • The option to manually rerun a sanctions check for a specific submission.
