Diaries

Diaries are a new feature that enables a running narrative to be attached to individual entities. The following endpoints have been added:

• Fetch Latest Diary Entry By Locator

• Fetch All Diary Entries By Locator

• Update Diary

• Discard Diary

The following entities are used in the above endpoints:

See the Diaries Feature Guide for more information.

• AccountResponse

• PolicyResponse

• PolicySnapshotResponse

• QuoteResponse

• AccountUpdateReplaceDataRequest

Also, defaultRegion has been added to ConfigurationRef.

Changes to Paged List Fetch Semantics

When fetching entities with any of the following endpoints, a new query parameter is available called extended. Setting extended to true means that the return object will not be a bare array of entities, but rather a List Contents object that includes an indicator that the list is complete. The following endpoints have been changed:

• Fetch Multiple Accounts returns AccountListResponse.

• Fetch Quotes for Account, Fetch All Quotes In Group, and Fetch Quotes In a Tenant return QuoteListResponse.

• Fetch Multiple Quick Quotes and Fetch Quick Quotes for a Group return QuickQuoteListResponse.

• Fetch Policies for Account returns PolicyListResponse.

• Fetch Policy Snapshots for an Account returns PolicySnapshotListResponse.

• Fetch Issued Transactions returns PolicyTransactionListResponse.

• Fetch Multiple Terms returns TermListResponse.

Note

Later, the extended property will be removed and the default behavior will be as if it were true.

Auto Transaction Rebasing

Before, transactions were always invalidated when a transaction on another branch became issued. Now, these transactions are automatically rebased on to the new, latest issued transaction. This behavior can be bypassed by settng the autoRebase query paramter to false when using the Issue Transaction endpoint.

Other Changes

The following entity properties have been marked as optional:

• AuthTokenResponse: permissions and tenants

• ElementResponse: coveragesTerms and elements

• PolicyResponse: branchHeadTransactionLocators

July 31, 2024

• Create Quick Quote

• Validate Quick Quote

• Update Quick Quote

In support of the above endpoints, the following new entities are used:

• QuickQuoteResponse

• QuickQuotePriceResponse

• QuickQuoteCreateRequest

• QuickQuoteUpdateRequest

Account Level Billing

Account level billing is activated by setting the billingLevel of the account, policy, or quote to account. If a policy or quote uses inherit for the billingLevel, it will defer to the account for the setting.

The following endpoints have been added to modify the billing level:

• Update Billing Level for an Account

• Update Billing Level for a Policy

• Update Billing Level for a Quote

Each of these endpoints takes a UpdateBillingLevelRequest entity.

In addition, the following entities have added a billingLevel property:

• AccountUpdateRequest

• AccountUpdateReplaceDataRequest

• PolicyResponse

• QuoteResponse

• QuoteCreateRequest

• QuoteUpdateRequest

• Create Policy Transaction

• Change Policy

• Renew Policy

Other endpoints will also be updated with a stateless parameter in upcoming releases.

May 1, 2024

Charges

On the week of May 6, 2024, there will be a change that requires configuration for which charges can be attached to elements. Each element definition must declare the charges that apply. ElementRef and ProductRef now have a charges property, which is an array of the charge types.

Important

All the applicable charges must be returned by the rating plugin, and only those charges can be applied; otherwise, the rating call will fail and the policy transaction or quote will fail to reach the priced state.

April 17, 2024

Optional and Required Properties

The process for determining whether properties on entities were “required” (i.e. must be set on requests, or will always be set on responses) has moved from a manual to automated process. As a result of this some fields have changed from being indicated as required (with no suffix on their type name), or optional (with a ? suffix on the type name.)

Write-Offs

Added endpoints for write-off of invoices:

• Write Off Invoice

• Reverse Write Off

Term Summary

Term Summaries are views of the term based on issued transactions, showing in-force coverage only. This essentially flattens the transactions that affect the term into a single series of segments, such that the segments cover the entire term without overlaps or time periods without segments. This is useful to understand the state of the term without constructing it from the transaction stack.

The Fetch Term Summary By Term Locator and Fetch Term Summary By Term Number endpoints fetch the overall term summary, and contains summary objects for segments and elements. Extension data and charge information is included in the element summary.

Other Changes

The roundingMode property on PropertyRef has changed its enumeration values to use camel case: ceiling, down, floor, halfDown, halfEven, halfUp-up
