Set Up Guidewire

Introduction

After installing the Guidewire Quoting module, you must set it up before utilizing it with your Connected Underwriting P&C solution. Once the setup is complete, your CU P&C submission process flow connects to the Guidewire quote generation process flow, allowing your underwriters to generate quotes using your submission data.

This guide walks you through the setup steps to incorporate the module with your CU P&C solution, including:

• Configure the connected system.
• Incorporate the application.
  • Add the Create Quote subprocess.
  • Add the Guidewire Job ID to the Submission summary.
  • Add the Resend action to the Submission record.
  • Add the producer code to the Create Quote process.

Before performing these incorporation steps, ensure that your system meets the required prerequisites

Add the producer code to the Create Quote process

The Guidewire Quoting module ships with a single producer code tracked in the ISU_GWQ_ENUM_PRODUCER_CODE_APPIAN constant. For initial development, updating this constant with a valid producer code from your Guidewire instance will suffice to execute calls successfully.

This can be done with the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Appian Designer.
2. Navigate to ISU Add-On: Guidewire Create Quote (ISU_GWQ) application.
3. Open the ISU_GWQ_ENUM_PRODUCER_CODE_APPIAN constant and update the constant value with a valid producer code.
4. Click SAVE.

Next steps

Creating a quote and implementing Guidewire can differ for each customer. Now that you have set up the Guidewire Quoting module, it is important to review your producer code creation process with your Guidewire representative before utilizing it in your production environment. This will help ensure you have accurately updated the account and job creation rules with the producer code data from Guidewire.
