  • Reference: PBI 938579
Summary: Expere was enhanced to allow unlimited characters for SmartSign Plus tag names.
Document Service: Multi-notary routing metadata added to fillable checkboxes and text fields
Summary: Fillable checkboxes and text fields were enhanced on notary pages to include the LinkToSignerIdentifier element, assuring proper association with specific notary groups in multi-notary signing workflows. These identifiers are now included in the REST response for FillableCheckbox and FillableText elements, matching the behavior of notary signature fields.
Impact: If you process multi-notary documents using the REST API, fillable checkboxes and text fields on notary pages now return routing metadata that allows you to correctly associate each checkbox with its corresponding notary group. This ensures consistent field mapping across all notary field types without requiring document re-authoring.
Technical notes (REST users): see below for the DocumentService Swagger > FillableFieldSet > FillableText code snippet (Note also that linkToSignerIdentifier is also present in the FillableFieldSet > FillableCheckbox schema):

What's Changed? SmartSign Web now correctly handles redraw requests for eNotes that share the same loan number as a previous transaction. Previously, when submitting a redraw request without destroying the original eNote in Expere, the system encountered an empty packet condition that caused a generic error.
Impact: You can now successfully process redraw requests for eNotes without encountering errors when using the same loan number, even if the original eNote was not destroyed through the standard Expere process.

February

Note: The following items were deployed on February 19 to the Customer Test environment and February 24 to the Production environment.

Expere: SmartSign Plus® integration
Summary: As part of our ongoing work to integrate SmartSign Plus® with Expere, the following functionality has been implemented for the February release:
  • Document delivery suppression for unmatched participants (PBI 908239): document package generation was enhanced to suppress delivery of document instances when their discrete party IDs or signature sections are not found in the participant collection. This prevents unmatched documents from being delivered or reassigned to other participants.
    What's Changed?
    • When a document instance has a discrete party ID or signature section not found in the participant collection, it is now completely suppressed from delivery
    • Documents with at least one matching participant ID are now only assigned to those specific participants
    • eSign documents without all required signers are automatically converted to paper format
    • Status messages now provide clear warnings about undelivered documents or conversion to paper format

    Impact: this change ensures that only valid participants receive their intended documents, improving document delivery accuracy and preventing potential errors from unmatched document instances.

For more information, refer to SmartSign Plus Feature Guide: Expere Transaction XPaths for eOriginal.
Expere: Improved Embedded PDF Overflow Handling
  • Type: Enhancement
  • Reference: PBI 879531
Summary: Embedded PDF generation behavior has been enhanced so that when text fits within the original field and does not require an overflow page, no forwarding messages are necessary (such as "See Attached").
What's Changed?
  • Embedded PDF generation now matches Static PDF behavior when handling fields with ContinueOnOverflowPage behavior
  • Forwarding messages no longer appear when text fits entirely within the source field
Impact: This change improves consistency between Static and Embedded PDF output and prevents unnecessary forwarding messages from appearing in documents.

Summary: it was reported that commercial packages containing a mix of static and dynamic documents displayed an RTF extension for these documents, regardless of the actual file type generated. Now, appropriate file extensions (RTF or PDF) are correctly displayed based on document type.
What's Changed?
  • The InstanceFileName in the XML response and document package now correctly reflects whether a document is RTF or PDF format.
  • Static documents properly maintain their PDF format when included in commercial packages.
  • Mixed document packages containing both RTF and PDF files now display the accurate file extensions.
Impact: This correction ensures that when you generate commercial packages containing mixed document types, the file extensions accurately reflect the actual document format, improving document handling in downstream processes.
