December

Expere Engine enhanced to use FOP 2.6
  • Type: Feature
  • Reference: PBI 696660, 696662, 701342
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: As a part of our continued effort to create WCAG 2.0 compatible documents we have updated the Expere Engine to now use FOP 2.6 when generating TaggedPDF documents. We will continue making enhancements to FOP 2.6 for TaggedPDF support, so check back for items being identified and corrected. Please note, WCAG support requires special content authoring and is not currently supported ‘out of the box’. As part of our feature to update the Expere Engine to use FOP 2.6, we made the following WCAG 2.0-related changes in the December release:
  • PBI 696660: during the course of reporting an issue related to our WCAG 2.0 feature work, an internal user reported that the Adobe Acrobat Accessibility checker was failing. This PBI resolved that issue so that running the Accessibility checker now completes successfully.
  • PBI 696662: we addressed three issues for this particular work item:
    • An internal user reported that our authoring tool timed out when attempting to generate the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) as a TaggedPDF document type. This issue has been resolved.
    • An italicized word, Texas Constitution, was tagged incorrectly and was being read out of order. This issue has been resolved.
    • A URL, www.oregonlawhelp.com, appeared in a separate section within the Adobe tag tree rather than within the tagging for the paragraph where it resided. This issue has been resolved.
  • PBI 701342: an internal user reported that when clicking a Form tag within the Adobe tag tree, it resulted in the the entire form being highlighted, rather than a particular word or phrase. It was discovered that checkboxes associated with this Form tag were being removed, resulting in an empty form tag and the entire form being highlighted. This issue has been resolved.
Implementation Notes: This feature / enhancement work is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
TaggedPDF behavior enhanced
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 704153
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: A user reported during preliminary testing that multiple loans failed when attempting to output them using the TaggedPDF document format.
Solution: This issue has been resolved; users may now resume testing using a TaggedPDF document format.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
PdfMerge and linked option (radio) button field behavior enhanced
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 703835
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: A user reported that when testing Wolters Kluwer E-Sign (WKES) linked fillable field functionality, they discovered that the enumerated values for field names in a mergedPDF did not match that of the corresponding JSON file. For example:
  • PDF: WKES_RadioButton_username@email.com_20_M
  • JSON: WKES_RadioButton_username@email.com_19_M

This resulted in receiving errors in WKES when trying to complete the eSign process.

Solution: This issue has been resolved; WKES fillable field enumerated values in a merged PDF now match that of the corresponding JSON file and the package of documents can now be eSigned through WKES.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
Document Generation Services (DGS) TransactionID behavior enhanced
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 703561
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: Users reported that the Document Generation Services (DGS) TransactionID sent to eOriginal did not match the ID in the request sent to our internal Document Management application. The expected behavior is that Document Management uses the DGS TransactionID in the request to create the transaction in eOriginal.
Solution: This behavior has been resolved; Document Management now uses the DGS TransactionID in the incoming request to create a transaction for use with eOriginal.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
Engine: multiple accounts now allowed in a single transaction with the same product
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 701178
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: A user reported that an error occurred when opening multiple accounts in a single transaction when where the same EZ Config (or OPPSA) Product name was used for more than one account in the request. Internal analysis determined that this error occurred because Expere previously only allowed multiple accounts in a single transaction when the product name was different for each account. As a result, this behavior has been enhanced: Expere now supports multiple accounts in a single transaction with the same product name.
Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
RTF output: signature line behavior enhanced
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 703264
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: Users reported signature line inconsistencies that necessitated addressing; instead of being a starndard, uniform width, the length of the signature line directly corresponded to the number of the characters in the value of the SignerName element. As a result, the signature line would span across the entire width of the page. This behavior has been enhanced so that the signature line for both RTF and PDF outputs are 3.5" wide.
Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
Ability to perform a Select / Generate
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 698507
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: In addition to a Select and Generate API call, Document Management can now facilitate a Select / Generate API call when using sending a transaction to eOriginal. With this API call, users first select a specific set of documents to be generated (using a Select API call) then generate that document set (using a Generate API call).
Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
eOriginal: Upload Validation
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 698504
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: eOriginal upload validation logic has been updated so that only eNotes are validated. Previously, all documents were validated, causing a transaction to fail.

In the transaction, if EOriginalUploadInd element = 0, only eNotes are uploaded to eOriginal. As a result, no other documents are sent to eOriginal.

Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the December release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.

November

ESignatureAndFieldSupport XY Coordinates Only behavior enhanced
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 698521
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: Users reported that when passing in an ESignatureAndFieldSupport ancillary option with Coordinates only set to "true," transaction data was not printed on the document for those fields which would normally contain data.
Solution: This behavior has been enhanced after internal analysis; transaction data now appears and prints as expected expected when ESignatureAndFieldSupport with Coordinates Only = ‘true’ is set.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the November release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
DGS Core DocViewer API: v2 added for BeginSession and updateTransaction
Summary: DGSCoreDocViewer has been updated with V2 REST methods for the BeginSession and UpdateTransaction API calls. These were updated in an effort to be more consistent with preliminary REST API calls in this service that were previously created. The updated "v2" methods, noted in the URL's, now utilize JSON data rather than form data.
Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the November release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.

Please note, WCAG support requires special content authoring and is not currently supported ‘out of the box’. As part of our feature to update the Expere Engine to use FOP 2.6, we made the following WCAG 2.0-related changes in the November release:
  • PBI 686589: It was reported that in a TaggedPDF document, tables that were split between pages resulted in the corresponding Adobe tag tree displaying the tables separately. A TaggedPDF document with tables that split between pages are now combined into one table in the Adobe tag tree.
Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the November release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
DocViewer Embedded PDF
  • Type: Feature
  • Reference: PBI 696788
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: As part of our overall effort to convert static to dynamic documents, DocViewer has been enhanced to allow viewing the new an embedded .PDF document type.

Early October release

Note: The early October release will be deployed to the CT environment on 10/7 and the Production environment on 10/14.
eOriginal: ability to support testing between Preview on Demand / Test on Demand environments
Summary: Users may now indicate to which eOriginal environment they want to their transaction: Test On Demand (TOD) or Preview on Demand (POD) through the EOriginalPreviewOnDemandEnvironmentInd data point. This indicator accepts the following values:
  • 0 = TestOnDemand
  • 1 = PreviewOnDemand
  • 2 = Production
Implementation Notes: This feature is available in the October release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
Sequencing behavior enhanced for Option (radio) buttons
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 693352
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: It was discovered that when testing the Wolters Kluwer E-Sign (WKES) additional field support feature, the sequence number assigned to the fillable field on the document differed from that of the JSON relationships file. As a result, WKES could not display the .PDF document because the fields referenced in the JSON did not match that of the document.
Solution: This behavior has been enhanced; the fields in both the .PDF and .JSON files are identical, and the .PDF document now displays properly in WKES.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the October release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
RTF Alignment behavior corrected
  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 696612
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: A user reported an issue with the alignment of text on documents issues after the Expere release to the Customer Test (CT) environment on September 21. The issue impacted documents generated with an RTF output. All text on the documents was left-justified, when some should have been centered-justified, right-justified, or even slightly indented.
Solution: This behavior has been corrected; documents generated with the RTF output are now created with the expected text alignment.
Implementation Notes: This defect correction is available in the early October release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.
NotaryBlock behavior when used with Wolters Kluwer E-Sign ancillary option enhanced
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 693657
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary: Users reported that when using the WKES_ESignatureAndFieldSupport ancillary output with an authored NotaryBlock element, the generated notary section was not present for a notary to hand write any information. Research determined that this behavior occurred when FillableField elements were authored inside the NotaryBlock element.

This behavior has been enhanced so that when WKES_ESignatureAndFieldSupport is specified as an ancillary output in the request, the notary section of the document allows for a notary to hand write in the details.

Implementation Notes: This enhancement is available in the early October release of Hosted Expere / Expere Document Services.

Supplemental September release

Note: The supplemental September release will be deployed to the CT environment on 9/21 and the Production environment on 9/28.
OPPSA Conversion: enhancements and behavior/functionality modifications

  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Summary:
  • Enhancement (PBI 693325): the DocViewer UpdateTransaction API has been updated to handle KeyCollections changes, eliminating the need for users to set up KeyCollections in the OPPSA conversion output file..
  • Enhancement (PBI 687430): due to lack of consistency in OPPSA, the conversion sets the /Txn/OrgJurisdiction as the default value for the KeyPathValue.
  • Enhancement (PBI 687668): previously in the OPPSA export two xpath values which gathered the same value were sent in the transaction; one Xpath was correct, while the second Xpath was incorrect. Now, only the correct Xpath is used in one key collection.
  • Enhancement (PBI 687789 / 688296): there are EZ Config specific Xpaths that correspond to checkboxes in OPPSA that were not tied to an Xpath, this enhancement maps the OPPSA checkbox value to the corresponding EZ Config Xpaths.
  • Enhancement (PBI 687780: the OPPSA conversion previously did not account for policies that contained a nodeName. These does not account for Oppsa policies that have a nodeName within them. The xpaths that exist with a nodeName value are converted like seen in description
  • Enhancement (PBI 687803): when converting the truth in savings Oppsa policy we are now setting the /Txn/Deposit/Accounts/Account/TruthInSavingsPolicyName xpath with the value in the export file
  • Defect (PBI 687377): the TransferOrPaymentType value was missing from the DataItem>Xpath after the conversion process occurred. This behavior has been enhanced to preserve this Xpath value.
  • Enhancement (PBI 688316): the following Xpaths are now being converted from Oppsa. Previously the corresponding OPPSA checkboxes were not mapped to an Xpath:
    • /Txn/Deposit/EZConfigNightDepositAgreementInd
    • /Txn/Deposit/ElectronicProcedureDisclosures/ElectronicProcedureDisclosure/ElectronicProcedureType
    • /Txn/Deposit/EZConfigSecondMobileBankingAccessMethodInd
    • /Txn/Deposit/RegEPolicies/RegEPolicy/MinimumBalanceCheckingInd

Document Format enhanced with EZ Config Packages and Packets
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 636172
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: Expere Document Services Tool Suite User Guide: Select and Generate; Select / Generate
Summary: Previously, the Expere Document Services (EDS) Tool Suite required users to select the Document Format. By requiring the Document Format to be selected it would override the value set within EZ Config Packages and Packets when Merge EZ Config data was used. .

  • Type: Defect
  • Reference: PBI 656164
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue: It was reported that when submitting a request where EClosingType=1 and MergedCopyPdf=true, the subsequent Expere response exhibited the following behavior:
  • It did not include the Id element and value in the FillableFieldSet > FillableText container

  • Status = Unsuccessful
  • PassthroughID
  • TransactionID
Note: The routing URL is: /api/v1/deliverysetup-callback.
For a successful callback creates the delivery groupings, the message sent back to users in the response file will resemble the following (in JSON format):
generateResultsResponse": {
        "getGenerateResultsResult": {
            "passthroughIdentifier": "121215",
            "transactionIdentifier": "70369",
            "status": "Sucessful",
            "documents": {
                "docSetPackageIDRef": "PKG.AncillaryOptions",
                "packageDocs": [
                    {
                        "docDescriptor": {
                            "docID": "PKGD.BalloonPaymentMortgageDisclosure_esig_ff",
                            "docType": "Dynamic",
                            "docDisplayName": "Balloon Payment Mortgage Disclosure with esig and fillable",
                            "docRootEntityName": "INS.BalloonPaymentMortgageDisclosure_esig_ff",
                            "docRequiresSignature": false,
                            "docCustomDataItems": [],
                            "negotiableInstrumentFlag": false,
                            "recordableFlag": false
                        }
For a callback that does not create the delivery groupings, the message sent back to users in the response file will resemble the following (in JSON format):
{
    "generateResultsResponse": {
        "getGenerateResultsResult": {
            "transactionIdentifier": "70370",
            "status": "Failed",
            "statusDescription": "Error: MissingField: Discrete Party"
        }
    }
}
