Notice Defaults
The Notice Defaults section contains the following fields:

Underwriter Required - Selection of this option requires selection of an underwriter at the time of notice creation.

Setting the option to
"Disable" prevents the tracking of notices that fall under the 2% rule.

.Setting the option to
"Loose" tracks notices that fall under the 2% rule and notifies the user when the 2% limit is about to be exceeded but will not prevent the generation of the notice.

Setting the option to
"Strict" tracks notices that fall under the 2% rule and prevents the user from generating a notice when the 2% limit has been reached.

Note: In order for the Loose and Strict settings to work properly, the 2% Policies Written table in Data Setup-General Policy Setup must be populated.
