status is applied to the appraisal. Follow the instructions below to
configure EAD Automatic Settings for one Business Unit, or click here to jump to the instructions for configuring
EAD Automatic Settings for multiple Business Units.

submit. An order must match both the selected form and loan types in order to
be automatically submitted.
