Risk Item management

Adding a Risk Item to a policy defines the "insured subject," such as personal items (eyewear, bicycles), larger assets (vehicles), an individual's life or health, and shipping cargo. This step tailors the subject to specific coverage plans, optimizing pricing and operational efficiency.

For practical guidance, we encourage you to explore our Risk Item creation examples, showcasing pre-configured payloads. These examples are illustrative, and adjustments may be necessary based on the insurance product and jurisdiction.

Endpoints

How to get the data

To gather the requisite data for creating a risk-item, it's advisable to utilize the endpoints detailed in the policy management section. There, you can access information on available policies, enabling you to procure the necessary details for the required package. This facilitates obtaining insights into the package's variants and coverages.
