How does coverage appear to the user when it is marked as Required?

When coverage is marked as Required in Guidewire PolicyCenter, it is explicitly designated to indicate that the user must select this coverage to proceed with the policy application. This designation is important because it signals to the user that they do not have the option to bypass this coverage when completing their application. The term "Required" directly communicates the necessity of making a selection, ensuring compliance with underwriting rules or policy mandates.

In contrast, other options like Electable, Suggested, or Optional imply varying degrees of choice, where users may have the freedom to select or ignore the coverage. For example, Electable may suggest that a user can choose to include the coverage, while Suggested indicates a recommendation but not a mandate on the coverage selection. Optional means that a user has complete freedom to include it or not, which is not the case when something is marked as Required. Thus, marking coverage as Required effectively enforces the need for selection, guiding the user to comply with necessary policy stipulations.
