System Requirements & SDK Upgrade Requirement for
Encompass
            Have you reviewed the latest System Requirements and upgraded the SDK?

Before downloading or applying this new Encompass release, it is important to verify the latest system
requirements for Encompass client machines. Please review the System Requirements for Encompass to
ensure your environment meets the requirements needed to operate Encompass successfully.

For a major Encompass release like this one, the Encompass SDK (Encompass Software Development Kit)
run time environment must be upgraded to match the newly updated Encompass Server. If you fail to upgrade
the SDK your application will not be permitted to connect to the updated Encompass Server. If your SDK
application utilizes the Encompass SmartClient, you can automate this process so the SDK is upgraded
automatically every time you apply a major Encompass release. If your SDK application is installed on a
computer at your location, you must manually upgrade the SDK for every major release. For instructions for
automating the upgrade process or manually upgrading the SDK, refer to the Upgrading the Encompass
SDK page or view the SDK Programmer’s Guide.

Visit the Encompass SDK and Other Install Files page to access the SDK install files for this release.

Install Files and Downloads

including eFolder print drivers and the Encompass Document Converter.

New Encompass Login Screen
(Updated on 10/30/2020)

Starting in Encompass 20.2, a new Web-based login screen will be presented to all users when opening
Encompass. Encompass LO Connect users will recognize this new screen, as it is similar to the login screen
used with that platform.

On the Encompass Login screen, you will now enter your Instance ID.

    n   The Instance ID is your Encompass SmartClient ID, which is provided by the Encompass
        administrator. (It is not the Client ID found under Help > About Encompass in Encompass). Example
        SmartClient ID: BE111XXXXX.

        automatically provided each time the user logs in moving forward.

If your company is not utilizing the new Single Sign-On (SSO) options that are also being introduced in
Encompass 20.2, then enter your Encompass user ID and password, and then click Log In, just as you did in
previous versions of Encompass.

New Features & Forms in Version 20.2

New Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication
(MFA) Options

  Note: The following sections describe new Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication user log in
  options that will be available to all users in Encompass 20.2. Please note that you can enable these new
  options, including the new Encompass log in screen, prior to Encompass 20.2 if you wish. To enable these
  options and features now, contact your Ellie Mae account manager.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Options for Encompass Users

           Watch the Video for Setting up Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that enables users to authenticate securely with multiple
websites or applications by logging in only once with one set of credentials, a user name and password. When
a user logs into an SSO website or application, a trusted identity provider (IdP) verifies the user's credentials.
To authenticate the user, the identity provider prompts the user to enter a user name and password for the
website. Once the user is authenticated, the identity provider grants access to the websites and/or
applications.

Starting in Encompass 20.2, Encompass administrators can use the Login Access section of the Organization
Details screen to determine if their company's users will be required to log into Encompass using credentials
provided by their company's IdP (Restricted Access) or if they will have the option to log in using their IdP
credentials or their Encompass user name and password credentials (Full Access). By default, all users are
set up to use Full Access.

New Encompass Login Screen
Again, starting in Encompass 20.2, a new Web-based login screen will be presented to all users when opening
Encompass. Encompass LO Connect users will recognize this new screen, as it is similar to the login screen
used with that platform.

New Features & Forms in Version 20.2

Authorized users can click the Login via Single Sign On (SSO) button to access the IdP login screen
provided by your company's chosen IdP where you enter the required credentials provided by your company to
log into Encompass. Here is an example of the login screen provided by Okta.

Single Sign-On Requirements
If the Encompass administrator elects not to require users to log into Encompass with SSO (i.e., you are using
the Full Access option), you do not need to configure any additional settings. By default, all organizations are
set up to use the Full Access option. (Note that users with Full Access will still have the option to log in using
IdP credentials too, but administrators must still configure their IdP and set up the connection in order for the
credentials to work.)

New Features & Forms in Version 20.2

If the administrator elects to require their users to only log into Encompass using their IdP credentials (i.e., the
Restricted Access option), there are additional prerequisites that must be completed. The following list
describes the high-level tasks for setting up SSO:

     n   Configure your identity provider: Select an IdP, and then set up credentials for Encompass users.
         Only an Encompass Super Administrator or the administrator assigned with the admin user ID can
         perform this task.)
             n   Your IdP must be configured using SAML 2.0.
             n   The configuration settings required by Ellie Mae for each of the following IdPs is provided in the
                 Setting Up SSO for Encompass guide (link is below): Microsoft Azure, Okta, and Salesforce.
                 Other IdPs may be used, but they must be configured using SAML 2.0.

     n   Set up the Connection to your IdP in Encompass Developer Connect: If you or your developer do
         not have access to Encompass Developer Connect yet, you can use a button provided in Encompass
         (in the Company/User Setup > Company Information settings) to go directly to the SAML SSO set up
         page in Encompass Developer Connect. No additional credentials are needed to access this page.
         Only a Super Administrator or the administrator assigned with the admin user ID can perform this task.

     n   Set up your SSO preferences in Encompass: Only the Super Administrator or the administrator
         assigned with the admin user ID can perform this task. After your company's identity provider is
         configured and the connection is set up in Encompass Developer Connect, you can set up your
         company's SSO preferences from the Company/User Setup > Organization/Users > Organization
         Details > Login Access settings.

             in process will vary depending on the Login Access settings you have configured.

Please review the following guides and resources for complete instructions and requirements for setting up
SSO in Encompass.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Options Now Available in Encompass
(Updated on 10/2/2020)

Bring Your Own Authentication (BYOA) provides an additional layer of security to the traditional user name and
password authentication method. BYOA is part of a multi-factor authentication (MFA) framework where an
employee authenticates to their corporate network first by providing a user name and password, then by
providing a pin or code from their smartphone or device. Encompass administrators now have the option to
enable MFA for their Encompass instance. Since login security is very important for protecting the personal
information of borrowers, administrators can now use their existing Okta Verify or Duo Mobile integration as
an MFA solution.

The following list describes the high-level tasks for setting up MFA for Encompass:

    n   Configure your MFA provider: Encompass supports Okta Verify and Duo Mobile identity providers.
        Configuration steps for both Okta Verify and Duo Mobile are provided in the How to Set Up MFA for
        Encompass guide. Note that only an Encompass Super Administrator or the administrator assigned
        with the admin user ID can set up credentials for Encompass users.)

    n   Enable MFA in Encompass: This step is required for implementing MFA for Encompass. For
        instructions, see the Enable MFA on Encompass section of the How to Set Up MFA for Encompass
        guide.

    n   Set up the Connection to your IdP in Encompass Developer Connect: In this step, you will add your
        MFA application provider details to the Lender MFA configuration page in the Encompass
        Developer Connection portal. For instructions, see the Configure your MFA details in Encompass
        Developer Connect section of the How to Set Up MFA for Encompass guide. If you or your

Introducing Enhanced Conditions
New Enhanced Conditions
(Updated on 10/23/2020)
In the Encompass 20.2 Major Release, the new Enhanced Conditions feature is being introduced. Enhanced
conditions are new conditions that can be created and used to support condition customization at a condition
level and field level, and to enable condition reports to be generated across multiple loans (both of which are
not currently supported by the standard conditions provided in earlier versions of Encompass).

The Enhanced Conditions setting consists of two components: Condition types and Condition templates.

When working in loan files, authorized loan team members will be able to add, edit, view, and track enhanced
conditions. Note that the Encompass administrator controls which users have access to enhanced conditions,
and the actions they can perform, based on user personas.

The enhanced conditions will be available in Encompass, Encompass LO Connect, Encompass TPO
Connect, and with APIs provided in Encompass Developer Connect.

Refer to the Working with Enhanced Conditions setup and user guide for prerequisites for enabling and using
enhanced conditions, instructions for setting up the conditions, and sample workflows and information about
how loan team members can address and manage these conditions in their loan files.

            The ability to designate a lender representative for eClosing is available with the
            Encompass 20.2 major release, but the eClose feature itself is scheduled for a future
            Encompass release and is not available with the Encompass 20.2 release.

Lenders can now designate an Encompass user as a lender representative for purposes of eClosing. Many

closing. To support the selection of a lender representative, the following new fields have been added to the
Disclosure Information section of the RegZ-CD (for loans using the RESPA-TILA 2015 forms) and Closing
RegZ (for loans using the RESPA 2010 forms) input forms:

    n   Lender Representative (field ID 4672)

    n   Current Assigned User ID (field ID 4682)

    n   Current Assigned Name (field ID 4673)

    n   Current Assigned Email (field ID 4674)

    n   Current Assigned Work Phone (field ID 4676)

    n   Current Assigned Cell Phone (field ID 4677)

Use the Lender Representative drop-down list (field ID 4672) to select the role that represents the lender for
eClosing purposes. The drop-down list includes options that correspond to roles in the Files Contacts tool,
including roles based on Milestones and roles not based on Milestones.

New Features & Forms in Version 20.2

After selecting a role, the user ID, name, email, work phone number, and cell phone number are populated to
the form from the File contacts for the loan. Use the Lock icons to edit the fields.

The representative is populated based on the following logic:

    n   The user assigned to the role in the currently open milestone.

    n   If none found, the user assigned to the role in the most recently closed milestone, starting with the
        previous milestone and working backward.

    n   If none found, the user assigned to role in a future open milestone

    n   If none found, the field is left blank.

If an Encompass user has not yet been assigned to the role for the loan in the File Contacts tool, click the Find
icon next to the Current Assigned User ID field to select a user. The user’s information will also be populated
in the RegZ-CD. This information may be automatically updated later when a milestone changes, a milestone
template is attached, a change is made to the lender representative's contact information, or a new lender
representative is assigned to the loan.

        Encompass.

    n   A new setting has been added to Encompass (Encompass Settings > Additional Settings > Ellie

URLA Updates
Support for Foreign Addresses on URLA 2020 Loans
(Updated on 9/25/2020)

When working in a loan using the URLA 2020 forms, you can now enter foreign addresses on various input
forms for addresses that could possibly be outside the United States, for example the mailing address for a
borrower who currently lives in a foreign country or the address of an employer located outside the United
States.

              Encompass does not support loans for subject properties located outside the United
              States and U.S. government loans (FHA, VA, USDA-RD) to borrowers with
              addresses outside the United States are also not supported. These updates apply
              only to address fields for non-government loans with loan-related individuals and
              companies who have addresses outside the United States.

These address sections now include a new Foreign Address check box. By default, the Foreign Address
check box is cleared .When the check box is selected:

    n     The label for the State field changes to State / Province / Region

    n     The label for the Zip field changes to Zip Code / Postal Code

    n     The Country field, which is not editable for non-foreign addresses, becomes editable and a Find icon
          displays. Manually type a value in the Country field or click the Find icon to open a Select Country
          window.

              If you select and then clear the Foreign Address check box, Encompass populates
              US in the Country field

When you click the Find icon, a Select Country window opens. Select a country from the list or type all or part
of a country’s name in the Search field to narrow your selection. Click here to view a list of the countries
available in the list. When finished, click Select to populate your selection to the Country field.

.

When working with loans using the URLA 2020 forms, foreign addresses are available for the following
borrower and co-borrower address blocks on the 1003 URLA Part 1, 1003 URLA Part 2, 1003 URLA Part 3,
Borrower Summary – Origination, and Borrower Summary – Processing:

     n   Current, former, and mailing addresses

     n   Employer or business address for Current/Self Employment and Income, Additional/Self Employment
         and Income, and Previous Employment and Income

     n   Additional Property

Foreign addresses are also available in the address blocks on the following verification input forms and input

             Encompass output forms will eventually be updated to include the foreign addresses
             on the output forms.

Verification of Mortgage
When the Subject Property check box (field ID FM0128) is selected on the Verification of Mortgage input
form, the address is copied from the Property Address on the 1003 URLA Part 4 and 1003 URLA - Lender. If a
foreign address was previously entered on the Verification of Mortgage input form, the Foreign Address
check box (field ID FM0158) will be cleared and US will be populated for the Country (field ID FM0157).

Home Counseling Providers
When the Foreign Address check box (field ID FR0129) is selected for the borrower’s Current Address, the
Get Agencies button is disabled on the Home Counseling Providers input.

            If needed, temporarily enter a U.S. address to enable the button.

Synchronizing Foreign Address Blocks Within and Between Forms
Encompass uses the following logic to synchronize foreign address blocks that display on multiple forms or
that are copied or synchronized to other address blocks:

    n   When using the Copy From buttons or the Same as Current check boxes to populate an address
        block, the updated address block will use the same fields as the address block from which it is being
        copied. For example, when copying a foreign address into an address block, the address block will be
        converted into a foreign address block with the Foreign Address check box selected.

                    When you click the Copy From Present button for the subject property
                    address, the subject property address will not be populated if the current
                    address is a foreign address.

    n   When the Do Not Apply check box is selected, the Country field and Foreign Address check box are
        disabled.

after the viewer is enabled for your company. The new viewer was developed in-house by Ellie Mae and
eliminates the limitations and issues that occurred with the Adobe-based viewer that was previously used to
view file attachments. The following new functionality and updates are available with the new viewer:

    n     Cloud storage is leveraged for increased reliability and performance.

    n     Bookmark and thumbnail navigation panels enable easy access to pages in a PDF file.

    n     Faster loading time implemented for multi-page files. The first page loads immediately so viewing can
          begin. Other pages load in the background.

    n     Multiple edits enabled within a file, including splitting, reordering, and deleting pages.

    n     The proprietary Print window used in the old document viewer has been replaced with a standard
          browser Print window.

For detailed information about using the new viewer, refer to the Using the New Encompass Document
Viewer guide.

The Total Closing Costs (field ID VASUMM.X138) and Recoupment Closing Costs (field
ID VASUMM.X139) in the Opening Veteran Comparison Statement section on the

Updates to Enable $0 Payments on Disclosure Output Forms for HFA Loans
(Added on 3/9/2021)

To support lenders who are originating HFA loans, when a loan has a Note Rate (field ID 3) of 0.00% and
payments of $0.00 are entered on a customized Projected Payments tables on the Loan Estimate input forms,
the customized amounts are retained in the Projected Payments table and the following updates are
implemented on the Loan Terms Table:

     n   The Monthly Principal & Interest (field ID 4085)

     n   Total Est. ___ Payment (field ID 3291) is populated with Monthly or Biweekly, based on the selection
         made for the Biweekly check box (field ID 423)

     n   When the Total of Payments (field ID CD5.X1) is locked and set to $0.00, that value is populated to
         the output form

Previously, when the projected payments table was customized with $0.00 payments and a note rate of
0.00% was entered for the loan, Encompass did not persist the $0.00 payment on the projected payments
table or in the loan terms table.
