Root has a multi-step claims workflow with customisable claim information parameters specifying the information to be captured on a claim.
Claim workflows use blocks and display conditions in a claim schema. This schema is a JSON array of objects, each containing a block and display conditions.
Block states can be read and updated through the API.
