What's New

New APIs
The following new APIs are now available for Developer Connect:

• Resource Lock API for locking and unlocking a resource. Use this API to lock, unlock, and manage locks to update a loan.
• Loan Templates API to view folders and files under Loan Template folders.
• Custom Data Objects API to create and manage Loan, User, and Global custom data objects (CDOs). CDOs allow administrators to store information and data elements that are unique to their organization at loan, user, and Global level. We do not recommend storing secure or any PII information within these Custom Data Objects. The Custom Data Objects API set provides the following:
  • Loan Custom Data Object APIs to create and manage custom loan-level data. Custom loan-level data includes data that does not have a standard field or custom field in Encompass, file attachments not stored in the eFolder, custom templates, and so on.
  • User Custom Data Object APIs to create and manage custom user-level data.
  • Global Custom Data Object APIs to create and manage company settings. Global CDOs are also useful for storing mapping files for mapping data across two or more applications for a lender or organization.

.NET Language Bindings and Sample Applications
.NET language bindings and sample applications for APIs are now available on Encompass Developer Connect.
