For Cyber policies, BI Waiting Period is normally expressed in hours, not days. Existing datatype is small int, meaning it only supports whole days not fractions of days (ie hours).
Reasons for change
To avoid adding a similar field BIWaitingPeriodHours for Cyber policies, change the datatype of BIWaitingPeriod from smallint to float. When waiting period is in hours it can be input into existing BIWaitingPeriod as a fraction of a day.
