Creating the vForm Database for incoming 1003 Application E.A.R.S. customer
edited files: The Professional Edition of vForms allows
you to email your borrowers an E.A.R.S. 1003 loan application form, have them
edit this 1003 on line and return the updated changes to you via email by
clicking on a submit button created by vForms!
You are given two
options when these edited 1003 application documents are returned to you from
your borrowers:
- Repopulate the 1003 application form
with this updated information.
- Drag and drop this data into a vForm
FNMA Database and import this data into your LOS system.
Why create this
database?
When your borrowers or clients edit your
1003 application E.A.R.S. form and return it to you via email, you will be able
to print a hard copy of this 1003 forms and download the client updated data
into this FNMA database. Once this updated information is in the vForms FNMA
database, you can import this updated data into your LOS system.
STEP ONE: Decide where to
program your vForms to access the LOS FNMA database importing functions for your
E.A.R.S. returning email documents.
You will need to know where your LOS
system defaults automatically to open a FNMA 1003 application form. For this
example, we will select the location typically defaulted for Calyx Point users: C:\Winpoint\Work
Presently, we suggest the following
default settings for these LOS systems:
Point:
C:\Winpoint\Work (Network drive should be used if applicable)
Byte:
C:\TQS5\ (Network drive should be used if applicable)
Contour:
C:\Desktop\MyDocuments
You can locate these defaults by following
the instructions for each LOS system for importing FNMA forms into the LOS
software programs. Usually it is found under the "File" heading and an "Import"
function.
STEP TWO: Creating a FNMA vForms
Database in vForms.
We will be establishing a database under
one of the major icons (Borrowers, Prospects, or Contacts). In this manner, when
you click on that specific icon and select the vForms Database in the same
manner as you presently select your borrowers, prospects, or contact
databases, your computer folder holding the E.A.R.S. returned data will be
opened.
- Open vForms by clicking on the
vForms icon on your computer desktop.
- Click on "Tools" and then "Options".
- In the vForms Options/Settings screens
under the location tab showing the Borrowers, Contacts, Prospects, and
Employees view buttons, right click on the ADD button.
- Left click your mouse in the
highlighted box and select Borrowers. (If you choose,
you can set this database under the Prospects or Contacts option rather than
the Borrowers.)
- Directly to the right, click in the box
under "Source" and click the down arrow and select "FNMA".
- Directly to the right, click in the "Location"
box and select the area in your computer where your LOS defaults and sends
FNMA imported forms.
- Click on "OK".
- When you want to access this database,
click the Borrowers Icon and select the "FNMA" option (if you choose the
Prospects or Contacts icon in #4 above, click on that appropriate icon).
