The Officials list view in ClaimCenter displays information about an official called to the scene...

In Guidewire InsuranceSuite UI design, balancing information density is a common challenge.List Views (LVs)are optimized for showing multiple records at once but are limited by horizontal screen real estate. When an entity has more fields than can comfortably fit in a table—as is the case with the expanded "Officials" entity—Guidewire best practices recommend using aPopup(Option C) for detailed editing.

A Popup is a specializedLocationtype that opens a secondary window over the current page. This allows the developer to embed a fullDetail View (DV)containing all the new fields (police badge numbers, department contact info, etc.) without navigating the user away from the main Claim screen. This "List-Detail" pattern is typically implemented by making one of the fields in the List View (like the Official's name) aLinkor by adding an "Edit" button that calls the popover or push method to launch the Popup.

Other location types are inappropriate for this specific requirement. AForward(Option A) is a non-visual location used for logical branching (deciding where to send a user based on data). APage(Option B) would take the user completely away from the current context, which is disruptive for a simple edit. ALocation Group(Option D) is used for structural navigation in the sidebar, not for individual record interaction. By utilizing a Popup, the developer provides a focused, high-density editing environment that maintains the user's workflow within the ClaimCenter application.
