ProLink Solutions is pleased to announce the 22.3.6 ProLink+ release. You've come to the right place to review What's New.

  • UAT Release: August 17, 2022

What's New

The release introduces the following new functionality.

Agency Portal

This section describes updates to the Agency Portal.

The "unverified files" icon that appears in My Queue now includes a tooltip when you point to the icon. The tooltip "Application has unverified file(s)" helps users understand what the icon is showing.

In a separate change, we added an indicator on the My Queue screen (stage 3–6 grids) so that you can quickly identify the most recent CDF record that has been queued, exported, or imported for the application.

The Main tab on an application includes several enhancements related to files.

  • The tab includes a new section that shows the files that have been uploaded without a file type.

  • Above the Files grids is a link directly to the Edit File screen.

  • All Files grids are now collapsible and expandable.

The Program Stages data view now includes Program Stage History Action as an available column.

The Program Qualifications data view now includes the following as available columns:

  • 1st Mortgage Days Until/Past Good Through Date—If the value is in the past, it will be shown as a negative value.

  • Total Remaining Approved Amount: Total Approved Amount minus (Total Disbursed Amount plus Total Recycled Amount)—If there is no Total Approved Amount or Total Disbursed Amount, this value will be blank. If there is no Total Recycled Amount, the calculation uses zero for the recycled amount.

  • Total Recycled Amount

The Disbursements data view now includes Disbursement Comments (up to 1,000 characters) as an available column.

Additionally, when you export data views into Microsoft Excel, the export files now show the data view's column captions rather than the database field names.

ProLink made multiple changes related to the common data file (CDF).

Updated CDF Program Types

We updated the program types available for generating and importing CDF records.

The available program type values now include P - Loss Mit with State Cont and J - Lien Extinguishment.

M - MRAP or N - Transitional Assistance have been removed as available program type values.

New CDF Record Types

CDF record types G and X are now supported in ProLink+.

You can queue record type G - Guaranteeing Funds. When you queue a G record, the record is populated as follows:

  • BI. Program Begin Date uses the system Disbursement Start Date

  • BJ. Expected End Payment Date uses the system One Time Payment Due Date for the selected mortgage

  • BL. Total Funds Allocated uses the One Time Payment Amount for the selected mortgage

  • DZ. Funding Source = HAF

As part of this change, you must now select the Record Type before you can select the Program Type; and the Program Type values available depend on the Record Type selection.

In addition, you can import X - Expected Payment records through the CDF Import utility.

Added Created Date to CDF Records

The CDF Records grid now includes a Created Date column.

New CDF Record Aging Report

The new CDF Record Aging report provides information about CDF records that have been sent where a match has not yet been received.

If you have any of the following security privileges, you can access the report in the Reports panel: Administrative Read, Administrative Modify, Reports - CDF Aging Report (new privilege).

Depending on the parameters you define, the report shows:

  • B records with no P records received

  • I records with no V or O records received

  • Q records with no Y records received
