This ActiveAdmin configuration sets up an admin interface for managing InsurancePolicy records. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:

1. Menu Configuration

• menu parent: 'Loans & Insurance', label: 'Calculator Data':
  This line places the InsurancePolicy resource under the "Loans & Insurance" menu in the ActiveAdmin interface and labels it as "Calculator Data." This suggests that the InsurancePolicy data is used for some sort of insurance calculation, possibly related to policy pricing or benefits estimation.

2. Sort Order Configuration

• config.sort_order = 'created_at_asc':
  This sets the default sort order for InsurancePolicy records to be by created_at in ascending order. This means the oldest records appear at the top of the list, which might be useful for administrators who want to review data in chronological order.

3. Permitted Parameters

• permit_params:
  This line defines the attributes of the InsurancePolicy model that can be modified through the ActiveAdmin interface. By explicitly permitting these parameters, it ensures that only the necessary and safe attributes can be altered by administrators.

  The permitted parameters include:

  • policy_year: The year of the policy.
  • age: The age of the policyholder.
  • planned_premium: The premium amount planned for the policy.
  • annual_income: The annual income of the policyholder.
  • accumulated_value: The accumulated value of the policy.
  • surrender_value: The value of the policy if surrendered.
  • net_death_benefit: The net death benefit provided by the policy.
  • gender: The gender of the policyholder.
  • planned_premium_per_year: The planned premium amount per year.
  • contribution_total: The total contribution to the policy.
  • tax_free_distribution_total: The total tax-free distribution from the policy.
  • age_range: The age range category of the policyholder.

4. Commented Configuration

• # permit_params do ... end:
  This commented-out block shows an alternative way to define permitted parameters. It demonstrates how to conditionally permit additional parameters based on the context, such as the action being performed or the role of the user.

  permit_params do
  permitted = [:policy_year, :age, :planned_premium, :annual_income, :accumulated_value, :surrender_value, :net_death_benefit, :gender, :planned_premium_per_year, :contribution_total, :tax_free_distribution_total, :age_range]
  permitted << :other if params[:action] == 'create' && current_user.admin?
  permitted
  end

  This is useful if you need more control over which parameters can be assigned, depending on specific conditions.

Summary

This configuration allows administrators to manage InsurancePolicy records in a controlled and organized manner. The resource is categorized under "Loans & Insurance" and labeled as "Calculator Data," indicating its use in insurance-related calculations. The default sort order and permitted parameters are configured to ensure that data can be safely and efficiently managed within the admin interface. The flexibility provided by the commented-out block allows for more granular control if needed.
