26.2 Major Release Preview

🚧

Release Preview

Major Release Previews provide you with an early look at the new features and updates that will be provided in the upcoming release. However, in the weeks after this Major Release Preview is published, the release preview page may change with items being added, modified, or removed. When a final draft of the Major Release is published, the “Preview" label is removed and no further planned updates are made to it.


IMPORTANT NOTICES

New Login Screen for Encompass Products

All Encompass products now utilize a new single, unified web-based login page that is more consistent with the current Encompass desktop interface login experience. Products like the Encompass web interface and Encompass Consumer Connect that previously used a two step login process (where a user entered their instance, and then navigated to a new screen to enter their user credentials) now use a single consolidated login page. The new Encompass login page looks like this:

Encompass login page


When logging into other Encompass products (listed below), the same log in screen is provided. Depending on which product you are logging into, there may be some minor differences in the login screen related to the SSO button (discussed below) and the name of the product displayed at the top of the login screen may differ.

📘

Note that users now enter their instance ID, user name, and password on the same screen.

The Login via Single Sign On (SSO) button is now displayed for all products that support SSO (with the exception of Encompass Data Connect, Partner Marketplace, and Insights), regardless of whether the instance has SSO enabled.

  • If SSO is not enabled, users entering an instance ID and then clicking this SSO button will receive a No company associated with this Instance ID message. This is the same message and user experience provided in earlier versions of Encompass.
  • If SSO is enabled and the user is restricted to log in using SSO only, an error message is returned if they attempt to log in with a user name and password. The message instructs the user to log in using SSO.

📘

There is no impact to users who bypass Encompass login pages entirely. (For example, users launching Encompass from enterprise landing pages and federating directly.)

This new login screen is now used for the following products:

  • Encompass (desktop and web interface)
  • eFolder (when accessing the eFolder in the web interface from the Encompass desktop interface)
  • Encompass Consumer Connect Admin Portal
  • Encompass Data Connect (no SSO button will be displayed)
  • Data Insights (no SSO button will be displayed)
  • Encompass Developer Connect (This new login screen is used for the My Account > API Key, My Account > SAML SSO, and My Account > Lender MFA screens inside the Encompass Developer Connect portal only.)
  • Encompass eVault
  • Encompass LO Mobile App
  • Encompass TPO Connect Admin Portal
  • Encompass TPO Internal User Access
  • Encompass Partner Marketplace (no SSO button will be displayed)
  • ICE PPE

Updates for Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Settings

MFA Now Enabled for Additional Connect Products

MFA is now available to enable for Connect products that previously did not enforce MFA. The following Connect products now support and enforce MFA when enabled in Encompass Admin Tools:

  • Encompass Data Connect
  • Encompass Developer Connect (The My Account > Lender MFA option inside the Encompass Developer Connect portal.)
  • Encompass TPO Connect Internal Login
  • Encompass TPO Connect Admin Portal

When MFA is enabled for these Connect products, users are required to authenticate to their corporate network by providing a user name and password, and then by providing a pin or code from their smartphone or device. Once authenticated, then they can proceed into their Connect product.

Supported MFA Providers:

The Encompass Lending Platform continues to support MFA using Ping ID, Okta Verify, or Duo Mobile identity providers.

Enabling MFA for Connect Products:

Use the Encompass Admin Tools > Server Settings Manager to enable (or disable) MFA for these Connect products.

To Enable MFA for Connect Products:
  1. On your Windows task bar, click the Start menu or Start icon, navigate to the ICE Mortgage Technology program folder, and then click Admin Tools.

  2. Double-click Settings Manager.

    • If you are prompted to log in to the server, type the User ID, Password, and Server that you use to log in to Encompass as the Super Administrator or the user assigned with the admin user ID.
  3. Select Password from the Category list.

  4. Click the Enable MFA button.

  5. Select the Connect Products (Encompass Web) check box. (If this check box was already selected from a previous version of Encompass, then it does not need to be selected again. MFA will be applied to the additional Connect products (along with the Encompass web interface).)

    🚧

    You cannot selectively opt in or opt out of applying MFA for specific Connect products. If you select this Connect Products (Encompass Web) checkbox, then MFA is applied to the Encompass web interface, Encompass Data Connect, Encompass Developer Connect, Encompass TPO Connect Internal Login, and the Encompass TPO Connect Admin Portal. If this checkbox is not selected, then MFA is not applied to any of these products.

    MFA Login Admin Tools
  6. Click OK.

    MFA is now enabled for these additional Connect products. Note that you must also configure your MFA service provider and the required settings in the Lender MFA settings in the Encompass web interface Admin portal to complete MFA enablement. Refer to the SSO and MFA Settings Moved to Encompass Web Interface entry below for more information.

Refer to the How to Set Up MFA for Encompass guide for information about setting up MFA for these Connect products (as well as additional products already supported for MFA (Encompass (desktop and web interfaces) and the Encompass Consumer Connect Admin Portal)).

SSO and MFA Settings Now Available in Encompass Web Interface

Prior to Encompass 26.2, administrators managing their company's Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) setup and preferences utilized the setup screens located in Encompass Developer Connect. With this Encompass 26.2 release, these settings are now also provided in the Encompass web interface's Admin portal. (These settings in the Encompass web interface's Admin portal can also be accessed from settings in Encompass desktop interface). Existing setup and configuration settings are not impacted by this move, so administrators are not required to reconfigure their existing SSO and MFA setup.

The SSO and MFA settings are still provided in Encompass Developer Connect as well. These settings will be removed in a future Developer Connect release.

Managing SSO and MFA Connections in Encompass Web Interface

After the administrator has configured their IdP (Identity Provider) and collected the XML metadata file from the configuration, they can visit the SAML/SSO Setup page or the Lender MFA page in the Encompass web interface Admin portal to set up a new SSO or MFA connection or modify existing connections.

SSO Connections

You can create up to 10 connections SSO connections on the SAML/SSO Setup page, but only one can be active at a given time for a given application. You cannot have two connections for Encompass activated simultaneously. However, you can have a connection for Encompass desktop interface and a connection for Encompass web interface activated at the same time.

To Set Up the SAML SSO Connection in Encompass Web Interface:
  1. Log into the Encompass web interface with Super Administrator credentials or with the admin user ID.

  2. One the left panel in the Admin portal, click Company/User Setup, and then click SAML/SSO Setup.

  3. On the SAML/SSO Setup pop-up screen, the existing SSO connections are listed. There you can click the Add (+) icon to create a new connection.

    Encompass Web SAML SSO Connection

    For existing connections, administrators can edit the Connection Name field and upload a new metadata file.

MFA Connections

  1. Log into the Encompass web interface with Super Administrator credentials or with the admin user ID.

  2. On the left panel in the Admin portal, click Company/User Setup, and then click Lender MFA.

  3. On the Lender MFA page, select the MFA provider you would like to use.

    Web Lender MFA Settings

    If the MFA connection has already been configured, the required information is displayed in the associated fields. Here administrators can modify existing connection information or enter new connection information.

Managing SSO and MFA Connections via Encompass Desktop Interface

After the administrator has configured their IdP (Identity Provider) and collected the XML metadata file from the configuration, they can visit the SAML/SSO Setup page or the Lender MFA page in the Encompass web interface from the Encompass Settings to set up a new SSO or MFA connection or modify existing connections.

To Set Up or Access the SAML SSO Connection from Encompass Desktop Interface:
  1. Log into the Encompass desktop interface with Super Administrator credentials or with the admin user ID.

  2. On the menu bar in Encompass, click Encompass, and then click Settings.

ENCOMPASS DOCUMENTS APIs

New Attributes Added to Generate Document Package APIs

The response contracts for the following Generate Document Package APIs have been enhanced to include new attributes documentTitle and displayName. These attributes enable you to provide user-friendly document titles and names; especially helpful for separate document flows.

EDC-1282

ENCOMPASS LOAN APIs

New Amortization Schedule Calculator API

The following new Amortization Schedule Calculator API has been added that enables you to calculate and return detailed amortization payment schedules. The schedule can be provided in the context of a loan, or payment schedule scenarios can be provided by passing the V3 Loan object in the request payload.

  • V3 Amortization Schedule Calculator
    POST /encompass/v3/calculators/payments/amortization

EDC-1153

New Assign Tracking Status Access Rights Capability for Enhanced Conditions

The following API has been enhanced to enable a Tracking Owner of an Enhanced Condition to extend any tracking status access rights they currently have to another owner/role. This allows roles that are not listed as Tracking Owners, within the Condition Type Settings, to update Tracking Statuses on the conditions that have been delegated to them.

Once a role has been delegated to manage Tracking Statuses, that means a user with that role can manage tracking statuses, using either of the following APIs:

EnhancedConditionContract has been updated with a new 'delegatedTrackingStatuses' collection. This collection identifies the Tracking statuses that have been delegated, and the additional delegated roles that can update them. This information can be retrieved in the following APIs:

EDC-1284

WEBHOOKS

New Status Query Option Available for Get Webhook Event APIs

The following APIs have been enhanced to support a new status that can be used in the "status" query parameter. When the "status" query parameter is used, the response returns only event history records matching that status.

The new query status is the following:

  • DeliveryFailedExhaustedRetries - Delivery failed after the maximum number of retries have been exhausted.

EDC-1288

Update for Test Webhook Custom Auth Parameters API

The following API has been updated to provide better security and additional error information:

The API endpoint now performs the following:

  • On a successful 2XX response, the response body only returns the HTTP status code in the tokenTestOKResponse object.
  • Failure responses are now structured consistently with clear, actionable messages in a tokenTestFailureResponse object. Each failure response includes the following:
    • A human-readable message with the token URL and error context.
    • An errorCode (for network/TLS errors) or status (for HTTP errors).
      See the new Usage Notes in the Test Webhook Custom Auth Parameters endpoint page for details regarding the Error Codes and Statuses that can return.

BREAKING CHANGES

👍

Be sure to visit the Breaking Change Notices page to see a list of ALL breaking changes documented for past and future releases.

Breaking Changes for 26.2 Release

V3 Loan APIs to Return Custom Fields as "null" Instead of Empty

As of release 26.2, the responses on the following APIs are returning "null" instead of empty strings on Custom Fields when the 'includeEmpty' query is true and the Custom Fields have no value. This represents a breaking change to these APIs.

EDC-1251 / EDC-1283

Fulfillment TrackingNumber Being Removed from the Fulfillment Object

Currently, the Disclosure Tracking GET APIs include a 'trackingNumber' attribute both at the fulfillment object and within each fulfillment.recipient object in the API response. The 'trackingNumber' under fulfillment.recipient was introduced in the December 2025 Service Pack 1 to support tracking numbers uniquely per recipient.

As of release 26.2, the 'trackingNumber' attribute at the fulfillment level has been removed, as it has been fully replaced by the per‑recipient 'trackingNumber' within fulfillment.recipient object. This update introduces a breaking change for the following APIs:

EDC-1280 / EDC-1285

Breaking Changes for 26.3 Release

Value for 'entityType' Change - External Organizations

In release 26.3, the value for the 'entityType' attribute in the 'parentOrg' and 'assignedToOrgs' objects of the External Organization contract will return as "ExternalOrg" instead of "Organization" to distinguish between an internal and external organization. This affects the following APIs:

EDC-1291

Removing Obsolete Rate Lock Entities

In release 26.3, the following entities are being removed from the Loan Contract:

  • LockDenials
  • LockConfirms
  • LockRequests
  • LockRequestBorrowers
  • LockRequestAdjustments

These entities will now return as part of the 'RateLocks' entity. This change represents a breaking change to the following API endpoint:

EDC-1286

Piggyback LINK Attributes Changing to RetrieveOnly

In release 26.3, all Piggyback LINK attributes will be made RetrieveOnly (see Attirbutes list below). This change is needed to support Piggyback loan automation in Encompass Web. These attributes are used in Piggyback automation to reflect import field values that are kept in sync between the linked loans. Users should not directly update these attributes.

Notes:

  • This change will not affect any Encompass calculations.
  • This will impact integrations with Encompass Loan APIs (see Impacted APIs list below). Any integrations that update these attributes directly will be impacted. Starting with release 26.3, you will no longer be able to update these attributes. These attributes will only be updated through Encompass Piggyback automation.
  • This change impacts the ability for any Encompass business rules to update these attributes. For questions regarding business rules configuration, contact your company's Encompass Administrator.
