Carrier-specific attributes (or company-specific attributes) can be used by insurance companies (carriers) to fulfill some carrier specific needs that are not provided for by generic attributes. SIVI AFS contains two types of carrier-specific attributes:
- Attributes without a codelist
- Attributes with a codelist
Carrier-specific attributes without a codelist
In the overview below some examples of company-specific attribute without a codelist are shown. These attributes indicate how many objects of a certain category are stored. A company can replace the generic description below by its own description. For example: category 1 = boats, category 2 = cars, category 3 = mobile homes.
| Attribute | Description | Label AFD 1.0 |
|---|---|---|
| numberOfDisplayedObjectsFirstCategory | Number of category 1 objects stored. This is a carrier specific category. | AANGOB1 |
| numberOfDisplayedObjectsSecondCategory | Number of category 2 objects stored. This is a carrier specific category. | AANGOB2 |
| numberOfDisplayedObjectsThirdCategory | Number of category 3 objects stored. This is a carrier specific category. | AANGOB3 |
Carrier-specific attributes with a codelist
In case of carrier-specific attributes that are connected to a codelist, carriers can request their own codes and description. These requests are always granted. In case of carrier-specific attributes and codelists uniformity is not required. The example below shows the carrier-specific attribute carrierProductCode, connected to codelist ADNMSP (Company-specific product code).
| Attribute | Description | Codelist | Label AFD 1.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| carrierProductCode | Product code as used by the insurer. | ADNMSP | PRODUCC |
