Insurance-specific objects defined in the Pega Foundation for Insurance model, such as a vehicle, are built by extending the IAA data model. It is important to understand that the IAA model provides the Pega Foundation for Insurance model acceleration and can also provide your implementation with another data model to build off (i.e., if the Pega Foundation for Insurance model has not yet extended a specific object).

For example, the insured vehicle component defined by PegaIns-Data-PolCmp- InsuredVehicle is built by leveraging the Piif-CarModel class from the IAA model.

When exploring the Pega Foundation for Insurance object model, you should check if there is an object in the Piif Classes that you need to extend. In 8.7, you can easily do this using the data model tools described previously or just by clicking App in the navigation panel of Dev Studio and using the autocomplete feature to search for a keyword.
