Enhancements Included in 9.4.1.0

Plan Groups Are Supported
- Plan groups are supported in this release of OIPA. Plan groups provide a method for organizing plans into groups to make navigation easier for the user. The functionality is managed through the Web Application Utility when the Rules Palette is installed and the properties are configured. When plan groups are turned on, they will be visible under companies, but above plans in the navigation tree. There are two types of plans: Parents and Children. Parent plans are the grouping entities. The plans that typically exhibit the features of the insurance products are the Child plans. However, Parent plans may also define general features of insurance products that the Child plans may or may not override.
- Security was enhanced to support the addition of plan groups.
Activity Projection Processing
- OIPA supports the ability to redefine a policy or segment field value in memory to emulate the effects of a virtual CopyTo rule as part of illustration processing. Activities can be configured to redefine the value when the activity completes processing in OIPA. The value is not written to the field and subsequent references to the field will use that redefined value. A new MathUpdate element is used to store the math variable that is copied into the specific Table field in memory.
