Choose or Create a Summarizer Strategy

Displaying a Summary of Entitlement for a Coverage Period described how the Engine can summarize the entitlement for a coverage period within a determination.

To use this feature, you must configure your Product to specify a strategy implementation to use. You must either:

in development, change your CREOLEProduct.dmx file to populate your product's detIntSummarizerStrategyType column with the code (from the DetIntSummarizerStrategy code table) for your chosen strategy implementation; or
in a running system, start the admin application and navigate to Product Delivery Cases, select your product, choose Rule Sets and choose Eligibility Determination, change "Decision Summary Display Strategy" to be your chosen strategy implementation.

When choosing a strategy implementation to use, you can either:

use a strategy implementation included with the Engine (described below); or
develop your own strategy implementation (described below).

Strategy Implementations Included with the Engine

The Engine includes these implementations which are suitable for most products:

Table 1. Summarizer Strategy Implementations Included with the Engine
Display/code	Implementation Class
`blank`	`curam.core.sl.infrastructure.assessment.impl. BlankDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy`
Total daily monetary entitlement	`curam.core.sl.infrastructure.assessment.impl. TotalDailyMonetaryEntitlementDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy`
Total weekly monetary entitlement	`curam.core.sl.infrastructure.assessment.impl. TotalMonthlyMonetaryEntitlementDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy`
Total monthly monetary entitlement	`curam.core.sl.infrastructure.assessment.impl. TotalWeeklyMonetaryEntitlementDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy`

See the JavaDoc for the above classes for more details on the behavior of each strategy implementation.

Developing your own Strategy Implementation

If you have custom requirements not met by the implementations, you may develop your own strategy implementation(s) for use in your products as follows:

Add a new entry to the DetIntSummarizerStrategy code table (using custom.ctx files);
Create an implementation class which implements the DeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy interface; implement the required method to return an appropriate summary of the coverage period;

Bind the code table entry to your implementation, in your custom Guice Module:

{
                  // Register your custom determination interval summarizer strategies
                  final MapBinder<DETERMINATIONINTERVALSUMMARIZERSTRATEGYEntry,
                    DeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy>
                  determinationIntervalSummarizerStrategies = MapBinder
                    .newMapBinder(binder(),
                      DETERMINATIONINTERVALSUMMARIZERSTRATEGYEntry.class,
                      DeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy.class);

                  determinationIntervalSummarizerStrategies.addBinding(
                    DETERMINATIONINTERVALSUMMARIZERSTRATEGYEntry.YOUR_STRATEGY).to(
                      YourDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy.class);
                  }

(replacing YOUR_STRATEGY with the constant for your new code table code and YourDeterminationIntervalSummarizerStrategy with your strategy implementation class as appropriate)

Build your application;
Configure your product to use your new strategy (see instructions above).
