Creating a Loan Account and Disbursing Funds (More videos below!)

I am a loan officer reviewing the application screens with a loan underwriter and the loan underwriter changes are not being saved. Why is this happening?

Warning: Since multiple people can we working a loan application at the same time, it is possible for updates to be overridden by another user.

Screen Overview

The Work/View Application Status system consists of three different layouts that can be used to view pending, denied, and booked (approved/created) loan requests. All incoming applications, regardless of their source, are marked with the date and time when the application record was created. This screen is also the access point for working Flex Loan modifications and for working 1Click Offers.

If at any point you want to start a new loan request, simply use New Application (F1 ) to proceed directly to the first loan processing screen without having to return to the Home Page.

Using Search Fields

There are two types of search fields at the top of the screen. The “Jump to” fields (Loan req./app # and Last name) will first sort the list, then scroll to the first matching item. For example, if you are looking to see the status of John Smith's loan application, move to the Last name field, type SMITH and use Enter. The system will sort by last name, then display the first loan request for a member with that name. Alternatively, you can click on any of the column headings to sort applications/loans by that column. In this case, sorting by name and then paging down to SMITH.

Using the Filter Criteria, Saving Filter Settings, and Refreshing the Screen

Use the Loan applications from date fields at the top of the screen to choose the range of dates to display. (Corresponds to the date that loan applications were originally created on the system.) This defaults to the past full month, but can be changed to any period desired, for example the previous week. (Keep in mind that the system will retain application information for pending applications for only 3 months. Denied applications and denial notices are purged after 3 months. Applications for booked loans are also purged from the application files after 3 months.)

The Filters will filter the list so that only items that match the criteria will be displayed. "Filters Off" or "Filters On" (depending if filters are already in use to reveal a drop down with a list of filter. Each filter will take you to a screen to see a list of your credit union's configured codes. Then select the code (or use Ctrl to select multiple codes) and Select to return to the Dashboard. The fitter will then have a check next to it, and the number of Codes selected will appear next to the filter name.

Select fields include: UW status, Interviewer ID, Dealer, Underwriter ID, Loan Category, Product Code, Interviewer branch, Delivery channel, Business Unit.

NOTE: The Product Code is the original Product Code saved with the application; if edits are made to the application, this will not filter by the newly assigned product code.
My loan analysis tools reflect different loan application totals than my loan queue. Why might this be the case? (NOTE This includes the underwriting filters here.)

Saving Date Range and Filters (and Refreshing the Screen)

Do you work the loan queue multiple times a day or week and always look at the same grouping of loans? Well, you can save your selection criteria so that the next time you enter the loan queue, the selections will be saved! Save any of the filters, including the relative date range, meaning if you selected the last week, the last week will show the net time. If you make changes to the filters, you always have the option to return to your saved settings or to remove the filters entirely to start over. These filters are saved by Employee ID with one set of saved setting allowed per employee ID.

NOTE: If you enter the previous week in the date range, the next time you enter the screen, the previous week from the current date will display.

To return to the complete list (sorted by loan app #), clear the search fields and use Clear All Filters. Refresh (F5) does not clear the filters but will bring in new loan applications that have previously been submitted to the queue..

Handling of Incomplete Online Banking Loan Applications

You have some options for the handling of incomplete loan applications originating in online banking. The default setting is to show them here in Tool #2, but you can also elect to send them to the queue used to review online banking requests (Tool #13), or you can delete them.

Key Areas and Access Points to Other Lending Screens (Buttons)

These features are accessed by the use of buttons the Standard view of the screen. Other views may display this area without the use of buttons.

Button	Description
New Application	If at any point you want to start a new loan request, simply use New Application (F1 ) to proceed directly to the first loan processing screen without having to return to the Home Page.
Loan Amount Date/Time	Use this to toggle between the amount of the loan request and the date and time it was submitted.
Activity Tracking	Loan Officers, to get a “dashboard” view of the loan team's activity and progress towards team goals, use Activity Tracking (F17) to display a statistical analysis screen showing all applications in the pipeline.
Counts by UW Code	Applications with an underwriter code will omit loans flagged with underwriting codes that are Type A (approval) or Type D (denial). Use Counts by UW Code (F20) to view the status of all codes.
Key Activity Tracking	Use this to display the Key Activity Tracking area where a record count for up to 6 critical underwriting codes can be displayed. This feature is ideal for central lending departments to monitor incoming loan applications and items requiring immediate attention. Use Refresh (F5) to update counts throughout the day. To see these same counts for all remaining codes, select Counts by UW Code (F20). This feature is designed primarily for underwriting codes configured as “submit” codes, representing new applications awaiting underwriting action. This is particularly helpful for credit unions with branch locations submitting new loan applications to a central loan underwriting department, to ensure that newly submitted applications get prompt attention. Up to six codes can be included on the main status screen. Use Counts by UW Code (F20) to view the status of all codes. Although designed primarily to see underwriting on pending applications, you can see a record of underwriting on pending, booked, and denied loan applications by selecting Counts by UW Code (F20).
Wait Times this Week	Use Wait Times to see the number of applications that are waiting for paperwork to be signed. Select the button to filter pending applications and review a screen that allows you to filter the listed by only those in the designated wait time period.
Analytics Booth: Power Line/ Web Version	Launching the Web Version (F22) dashboard will provide additional tools to subscribers to analyze data that can only be found in Analytics Booth, including more screen real estate to view more data at one time, different filters and graphics, and new ways to understand the data. Non-subscribers will be presented with a splash page. Use the Power Line (F23) button to launch an immediate trend line graph in Analytics Booth to help you better understand your data.

Color Coding of Decision Columns (Pass/Fail/Review)

The Decision columns uses color-coded indicators to show the results of the decision model as well as the results of the deal filters, if any, from the loan product configuration. If both apply on the same loan application, then the deal filter results will appear only if the decision model passed (or if you do not use FUEL (Forecasted Underwriting Express Lender) at all).

Dsgn (in green in the Pass column)	Indicates a decision model was pulled and a decision code of 1-5 (passed) was returned. Select the app and use the Decision option to see the list of products and services for which the member has been approved. When looking at our loan queue, we see a "pass decision" status but the application failed in the underwriting assessment requirements. Why do we see the "pass decision" status?
Deal (in green in the Pass column)	Indicates the loan deal filters were run and passed for this app. NOTE: This indicator will appear only if the decision model itself was passed (if applicable).
Dsgn (in red in the Fail column)	Indicates a decision model was pulled and a decision code of 98 (failed the model) or 99 (failed) was returned. Select the app and use the Decision option to review the results and reasons for the failure.
Filter (in red in the Fail column)	Indicates one of two conditions: A decision code of 97 (failed the filter) was returned without a decision model being run (based on minimum requirements filters such as credit score, debt-to-income ratio, or residency/employment stats); or To see if the member failed the underwriting ratios assessment, refer to the Loan Application - Financial Summary screen. Select the app and use the Decision option to review the results and reasons for the failure.
Deal (in red in the Fail column)	Indicates the loan deal filters (based on the collateral and loan app data) were run and failed. Select the app, use Work w/Loan Request, and proceed through to the Loan App Summary screen to re-run the filters and review the reasons for the failure. NOTE: This indicator will appear only if the decision model itself was passed (if applicable).
Deal (in yellow in the Review column)	Indicates the loan deal filters were run and could not be passed. This could be due to incomplete information on the collateral record or the app itself, or some other error. Select the app, use Work w/Loan Request and proceed through to the Loan App Summary screen to re-run the filters and review the reasons. NOTE: This indicator will appear only if the decision model itself was passed (if applicable).

Pending Applications

I select a loan request and then when I am on the loan application screens, I do not see all ten buttons at the bottom of the screen. Why is this happening?
