Oracle® Insurance Rules Palette 9.4.1.0 E23637_01

# Segments Overview

Segments contain information about the base policy as well as additional riders or features of the policy. Segment rules are used to configure segments for each plan. In OIPA, the Segment screen can display multiple segments that the user can select from a drop-down box. When the user selects a specific segment, the Segment screen populates with the associated data. Segments are configured similar to business screen rules but allow for additional validations.

Segments can invoke Calculate business rules. In the Rules Palette each segment has its own calculate folder, which stores these business rules.

Note: Use the Segment screen business rule to set-up the screen layout for any segments needed for the policy. Please see the XML Configuration Guide topic in this help system for a list of all elements, attributes and values needed for configuration. View Business Rules | Plan Rules | Segment Screen .
