Power Tools: Simple eDisclosures

Formerly eDisclosure Automation Plugin

Overview


This plugin automates several steps in the process of sending Disclosures thus minimizing time it takes to send each disclosure by few minutes.  This plugin also sets selected Plan Code to custom fields to help auditing if someone sends wrong disclosures.

What this plugin is actually automating:

This plugin, simply put,  automates three 'Send eDisclosures' dialogue boxes. It does this by:

  1. Automatically selecting the Plan Code for subsequent disclosures, based on a custom field.
  2. Re-Enabling of the ‘Order’ button in Audit dialog.
  3. Automatically changes the Sender.
  4. Automatically adds users with proper dates.
  5. Automatically sets the Auth Code.
  6. Automatically sets Notification checkbox & date.
AUTOMATION EXAMPLE:

The three dialogues are automated:

  1. Selecting Plan Code
  2. Audit Dialogue
  3. Sending a Message






Disclosure Message Dialogues are handled for both 18.2 (old style) and 18.3 (new style):








How does this help the customer:

Time Saving per each disclosure is ~ 2 minutes.  Considering it takes ~ 10 minutes to send each disclosure with all custom selections, plugin will allow sending disclosures ~ 20% faster.  Besides time saving, plugin will also significantly increase consistency due to less manual data entry:

  1. Automatic Plan Code selection ~ 10 seconds
  2. Re-Enabling of ‘Order’ button in Audit dialog – only helps some loans ~ 5 seconds
  3. Automatically changing Sender ~ 5 seconds
  4. Automatically adding users with proper dates ~ 60 seconds
  5. Automatically setting SSN4 Auth Code ~ 20 seconds
  6. Automatically setting Notification checkbox & date ~ 10 seconds
  7. Total saving: 110 seconds.

Automation Settings:

Plan Code Dialog Settings: 

This setting controls when the Send eDislosures Plan Code dialogue is bypassed.

Image Placeholder

  1. Check Box: 'save plan code selection to ... for all users". What this setting does is, after the first disclosures are sent, the plan code and name are saved to the plugins custom fields. Any subsequent clicks will load the plan code based on those field values, and bypass the 'Select a Plan Code'
  2. Check Box: 'automatically select plan code based on...' For loans with a single borrower pair, this selection adds the plan code for automation, only if the user is allowed based on allowed user settings. 

Image Placeholder

Audit Dialog Setting:

This setting controls the Disclosures Audit.

Image Placeholder


1.) Check Box: 'auto-enable order eDislosures button...' This setting navigates around when the eDisclosure button is disabled through other encompass means.

2.) Check Box: 'Hide Field ID ComboBox' This setting disables the dropdown box, field ID option

NOTE: This selection actually handles the dropdown on the Plan code select, and Send eDisclosures, which is not exposed on the Disclosures Audit. (fig 2.)

Send Dialogue Automation Profiles Settings:

The send dialogue settings populate the final dialogue before disclosure are sent. 

Below is an image of how the information flows into the Send eDisclosures dialogue. 

  1. Sender Information 
  2. Notify Additional Users
  3. Populate Auth Code.

When creating profiles Leave CX.DISCAUTO.PROFILE Value BLANK for a DEFAULT template

Image Placeholder

for Alternate Profile Set CX.DISCAUTO.PROFILE to something that describes the scenario.

Image Placeholder

Section 2: Settings Display

Image Placeholder
This gives the user an at a glance view of automation settings on the form, without having to drill down into each setting from the launch button. 


Section 3: Custom Field Section

Image Placeholder
This section contains the custom fields that the plugin uses. These fields can be used in conjunction with field triggers. Each field id is listed to the left, with an explanation of the field function on the right. 

BEST PRACTICE: DO NOT ADD CUSTOM FIELD CALCULATIONS TO THESE FIELDS!!! If a customer would like to add something, like plancode NAME and CODE, to auto populate, use a field trigger. This is because, if an admin needs to clear out a field on this form, field calculations could reset erroneously. 

Section 4: LTK Admin Buttons

Opens the debug log file, and LTK licensing.
