New Features
Pipeline Reports - Phase 1
We have added new functionality available to company admins to generate various reports on the company pipeline. This is intended to be foundational functionality necessary to eventually release features such as Dashboards and Custom Reports.
In the global header of the application there is a tab labeled Reports. The pipeline reports option will bring the user to the new reporting functionality. On the first page the user will find filtering options for the report. Clicking on the Generate/Re-Generate will navigate the user to the second page where information from the report is displayed.
For each metric displayed on the second page there is an option to view the loans included as well as an option to export the information to a spreadsheet. Additionally there is a global view and export options available at the top of this page.
Please let us know what you think about this new feature. We hope to use that feedback for improvements in future phases. Send feedback to [email protected]
Title and HOI Order Emails
We have added the ability to send out emails to the Title and HOI agents associated with loan files. This functionality is available on the Loan Center page after the loan has been submitted to a lender.
The templates for these emails are available with the Email Templates settings to company admins.
Additionally for manual lenders, company admins may default the mortgagee clauses from Company Settings > Lenders:
Integrated system lenders' mortgagee clauses are defaulted automatically. Please reach out to [email protected] if you notice any discrepancies.
Savable Pipeline Filters
We have added the ability for users to create and save pipeline filters for easily toggling between different views. This functionality is available from the loan pipeline view in the upper left corner. Users may click on the pipeline view drop-down and select from an option of predefined filters or from their own custom filters.
Users may create new filters by clicking on the Create New Custom Filter link within the drop-down. A fly-out will appear where the user may select their desired filters and name their custom filter.
Let us know whether there are any filter options which currently are not available by sending feedback to [email protected].

PPE:
Pre-Approval Experience
In release v1.35, we added functionality to customize the Pre-Approval Letter. There was an discrepancy in the experience when generating the pre-approval letter within the pricing engine. We have aligned the user's experience with this release.
DTI Warning for Pre-Approval
Previously, users would not be able to generate a pre-approval letter from the pricing engine if the DTI was too high. Since not every product follows the same guidelines, this would prevent a valid pre-approval letter from being generate. We have updated the functionality to instead warn the user when the DTI exceeds the vanilla maximum DTI.
Cash to Close Calculation on IFW
We have fixed an issue where the cash to close calculation was inaccurate after adjusting some values.
Disallow Duplicate Fees
We have fixed an issue to not allow duplicate fees in PPE Fees Worksheet.
