Create a Product Model Based on a Product Class
You can use a product class to create products faster and more easily. Product classes already contain specific coverages, insured items, insured parties, rating facts, root product attributes, and rules. After you set up product classes, you can use them as templates for root product specs.
To learn how to create a product class, see Working with Product Classes.
