3. Application Logic
4. Integration
-What are some of the technologies used in InsuranceSuite applications? - -
Page Configuration Format (PCF) files
Gosu (programming language)
-What are some reasons for a non-developer to understand the technology
stack? - -To determine what data is stored and if new requirements need
additional data elements.
To know how and where data is used.
To communicate what data may be needed beyond what is in the base
configuration.
To determine valid values or circumstances for the new data.
-What are some examples of what can be configured in the User Interface? -
-The order of fields, change labels, regroup fields (simple change).
Fields on a screen (moderate change).
Screens (complex change).
Screen-based logic (complex change).
-What are some examples of what can be configured in the Data Model? - -
Information that the base application does not store (add passport number).
Values for a Typelist (add valid values for AddressType or PhoneType).
Data to support regulatory requirements.
-Why is it important for non-developers to understand the basics of the UI
architecture and components? - -So that they can request changes to the UI
that are consistent with the base product architecture and communicate
effectively with developers,

to a single row in another entity
Array keys - a link to multiple rows in another entity
Type keys - a link to a specific value in a typelist
-Why should a non-developer have a basic understanding of application
logic? - -- Most projects require some changes to application logic
- Non-developers define requirements for UI changes
