Appraisal Scope Updates
Week of 3/20/2018

Good Morning!

Below are the details of today's update.  Apologies for not getting them posted last Friday.  This update is primarily bug fixes.


New Features 

- A new reporting field has been added called Hold Time From Order Submitted To Order Completed 

- We have added a new feature for appraisers, which will allow them to opt not to store their credit card for future use. 

- A new feature can be enabled via Settings>Options>Appraiser Assignment called "Warn about duplicate orders during manual order assignment".  When Enabled, when a Staff user attempts to assign an order that has an address or loan number of an existing order, a pop up will appear to the staff user, asking them to click Override or Cancel.  The action is noted in the Notification Log. 


Bug Fixes 

- Corrected an issue preventing the Notification Log from updating the log to note when an order was placed On Hold. 

- Corrected an issue that caused an email notification to incorrectly state what user uploaded a document. 

- Corrected an issue that caused email notifications to send with a blank subject and body. 

- Corrected an issue preventing a Manager user at an appraisal company from being able to pay for an order on behalf of one of their appraisers or from uploading documents on behalf of an appraiser. 

- Corrected an issue that prevented a staff user from being able to see the Staff droplist, even when configured to have view permissions. 

- Corrected an issue when editing an order that caused the fee to show up as "$undefined". 

- Corrected an issue where a staff user should not have had the ability to delete reports, yet still could delete them. 

- Corrected an issue causing the toolbar in the Reports tab to not show any buttons for certain staff users. 

- There was an issue where the appraiser could submit a bid, and then if the Ordered For user changed or the job type changed, the bid would be discarded.  We changed the system to retain the bid amount. 

- Corrected an issue causing several files to be left off an invoice for a customer. 

- Corrected an issue causing the "Last Update" column in the Dashboard to not match what was shown when the Dashboard queue was filtered by Last Update. 

- Corrected an issue causing a user to see no available widgets, when configuring the Metrics tab. 

- Corrected an issue causing a staff user to not be able to assign orders, even though they were configured to have permissions to do so. 


Integrations 

- Added a new Turn Time reporting ability via the Admin API 

- Added a new ability to get the Processor and Loan Officers via the Client API 

- When Mercury orders are paid, the Payment Submitted email will now go to the assigned staff user (if configured to do so). 

- The "Action Required (RealEC)" checkbox will be unchecked by default going forward, unless configured otherwise.
