The Template Field Trigger plugin streamlines loan data changes
by automatically applying the correct templates—such as loan programs, closing
costs, and data templates—based on loan data. Instead of requiring manual
template selection during loan updates, the tool uses field-driven logic to
apply templates automatically. This reduces errors, ensures consistency, and
speeds up workflow processes.

loan data changes.

How It Works
The plugin operates using a series of custom fields that
determine which template to apply and when to apply it. The process is driven
by a simple field-trigger approach: once the trigger field is set, the
designated template is automatically applied to the loan.
Using the Admin Form
The Admin – Template Field Trigger Plugin form
generates the code that can be placed in a field trigger to achieve the desired
results.
- In the CX.TEMPLATE.TYPE dropdown, select
the appropriate template type from the listed options: Loan Program, Closing
Cost, Data Template, Input Form Set, Document Set, Loan Template Set or Task
Set.
- In the CX.TEMPLATE.PATH field, use the Magnifying
Glass icon to select the applicable template.
- In the CX.TEMPLATE.APPEND.OVERWRITE dropdown, select the applicable action. Note that override is not applicate for Document, Task or Input Form
templates and will be disabled if one of these template types is selected.
- To apply the selected template now, click CX.TEMPLATE.APPLY.
This will immediately apply the template to the current loan record.
- In the CX.TEMPLATE.RESULT field is used
in conjunction with the CX.TEMPLATE.APPLY field. This will display OK briefly if the
trigger is successfully applied. If it
is used in a field trigger, it will display a message box with an error if the
template trigger did not successfully apply.
- In the Current Code – Copy Paste Into Your
Field Trigger field, administrators can copy this code and paste it into a
field trigger to run based on specific events or field changes.
Example:
Copy the code and paste into a field trigger rule.
Administrators may further customize the generated code to
incorporate additional logic or conditions as needed.
