When a new claim or exposure needs a field inspection, appraisal or other vendor work, the assignment is often created by hand from the claims system and sent by email or phone, so start times vary and the claim record does not show who has the work. On Guidewire (core claims system), the claim record already holds the context this work depends on: claim and exposure context and assignment triggers. Without a connection, that context is re-keyed into each downstream tool and drifts from the claim file.
A new or updated claim in the connected system starts the assignment workflow in VIP, and assignment status is kept against the claim so everyone works from the same record. With Guidewire, VIP takes in claim and exposure context and assignment triggers and writes activity and documents and expense and financials back to the claim. Confirm how VIP activity, documents and financial transactions land on the claim and exposure.

| Assignment triggers | Guidewire → VIP | New or updated exposures start the assignment, inspection or audit workflow in VIP. |
| Activity and documents | VIP → Guidewire | Vendor activity, reports, photos and findings post back to the claim file as notes and attachments. |
