A component may have several properties. There exist four prefixes to be used:

• parm: whenever a variable name starts with parm. It is displayed on the parameterization user interface automatically.
  
• in: all in variables of type PacketList receive packets from other components
  
• out: all out variables of type PacketList send packets to other components. It is displayed on the result template user interface and optionally on the result page automatically.
• sub: a component may have sub components. Their name has to start with sub.

Remark: If a component is written in Java, variables starting with any of these prefixes need a public setter and getter method.

RiskAnalytics comes with a powerful way of deriving a default user interface for all models, components and its parameters - a model or component developer does not have to write any GUI code. Yet he can group the parameters.

The order in which subcomponents, parameters and out channels in a component are displayed is the order in which they appear in the corresponding code.

Example of a Model and its Visualization in the Parameter View

    DynamicClaimsGenerators claimsGenerators
    DynamicDependencies correlations
    DynamicMultipleDependencies eventCorrelations
    DynamicConfigurableLobs linesOfBusiness
    MultiLineDynamicReinsuranceProgram reinsuranceProgram
