ValuesScreen Rule

The ValuesScreen business rule is configured at the Plan level. This rule is used with the PolicyValues business rule to display the policy's values on the Values window (invoked by clicking the Values link in the navigation section of the application). The PolicyValues business rule must be configured prior to configuring the ValuesScreen business rule. The ValuesScreen business rule dictates how to display (format) the item/variable on the Values screen. 

In addition, ValuesScreen rule can also perform the following:

• Display the valuation date (from PolicyValues) on the Values screen (policy level).

• Display the fund details and pie charts for Allocations and Assets.

Explanation of Key Elements

The <PolicyValues> section defines the screen’s display of PolicyValues math variables. Each MathVariable to be displayed should be listed as a separate <Field> subelement. Any policy value that is desired to be displayed on the ValuesScreen must be predefined in the PolicyValues business rule.  

The <FundDetails> section allows for the display of fund information. Funds that should not be displayed on the ValuesScreen can be disabled in the <Exclude> subelement of <FundDetails>, with a separate <Fund> subelement for each fund to be excluded.   

Fund data that should be displayed on the ValuesScreen is configured in the <Columns> subelement. Each fund field to be displayed should be listed in a separate <Column> subelement. The ValuesScreen also allows for two graphing options. The <Graphs> element can be used to include a pie chart of assets and/or allocations. To enable the pie charts, the respective ASSETS or ALLOCATIONS attribute should be set to Yes. If set to No, pie charts will not be displayed. 

"Note: There should be atleast one allocation saved under the PolicyAllocation tab when the ‘Graphs’ section is enabled in values Screen."

The ValueScreen is located under the Plan Rules folder. Access it from the Global Rules Explorer under Business Rules | Plan Rules or access the ValueScreen overrides from the Main Explorer under the Plans | Name of Plan | Plan Rules folder. 

Note: The PolicyValues business rule must be configured prior to configuring the ValuesScreen business rule.
