In Guidewire InsuranceSuite,Gosu rulesare a foundational mechanism used to implement business logic such as claim assignment, validations, eligibility checks, and workflow decisions. From an analyst perspective, understanding thecore structure of a Gosu ruleis critical for interpreting system behavior and validating business requirements.
A Gosu rule fundamentally consists of two essential components: thebusiness object (entity) on which the rule operatesand theaction that executes when a defined condition evaluates to true. Therefore,Options A and Dare correct.
Each rule is associated with a specificGuidewire entity, such as Claim, Exposure, or PolicyPeriod. This entity defines the scope and context of the rule and determines which data fields and attributes are available for evaluation. Without an associated entity, the rule has no operational context within the system.
The second essential component is theaction. When the rule’s condition evaluates to true, the action specifies what the system should do. In claim assignment rules, this typically involves assigning a claim to a specific group, queue, or user. While the condition controlswhenthe rule applies, the action determines theoutcome, making it a core structural element of the rule.
The remaining options are not essential components of a Gosu rule. PCF files (Option B) are related to user interface configuration. Typelists (Option C) may be referenced within rules but are not structural components. A graphical drag-and-drop interface (Option E) does not exist for Gosu rule creation in Guidewire.
