Encompass Web Input Form Builder

All elements in the Encompass Web Input Form Builder use the ng-disabled property to enable/disable the element. Although the value of the property is hard-coded at the time of token generation, the Ellie Mae Scripting Framework allows for the toggling of an element’s disabled property.

You can toggle the disabled property on the following elements:

• Calendar
• Contact Button
• Hyperlink
• Label
• Multi-Line TextBox
• Rolodex
• TextBox

For information on the Scripting Framework and code examples, refer to the Custom Forms chapter in the Encompass Web Customization Developer's Guide. (An Encompass Developer Connect user account is required to access this guide in the LO Connect Developer Portal.)

A category box is a container that is typically used on forms to group a section of related fields such as Borrower Information or Credit Information. In earlier versions of the Encompass Web Input Form Builder, you could add up to two (2) group boxes to a category box. Starting in this 19.2 release, you can now add up to four (4) group boxes to a category box. This enhancement enables administrators to create up to three columns on a form.

When adding elements to input forms, the elements are auto-positioned as they are dragged and dropped in the form workspace, and their width and offset can be adjusted using the element’s Properties panel. The Offset property has been updated to enable you to have spacing between the elements without offsetting elements in the next row. For example, if the element1 has been offset and that results in the element2 located to the right of element1 being pushed to the next row, the spacing of the element2 will start at the left indent of the next row and not be offset to the right.

When using the Encompass Web Input Form Builder, you can set an element's Visible property to False so that it will not display on the custom form, and then add another element (like a button, for example) that includes JavaScript code that will set the other element's Visible property to True so that it will display on the form when the button is selected. However, an issue occurred where the JavaScript code written for this purpose was not being recognized by the system and the element that was supposed to display on the form when a user clicked the button was not displaying. This issue has been resolved so that the JavaScript coding is recognized and the element will display as expected when the button is selected.

A new Encompass Web Customization Developer's Guide is now available for administrators and developers tasked with customizing Encompass LO Connect’s Custom Forms, Custom Tools, Plugins. This guide describes the basic approach to the customization of these extensions in LO Connect. It also includes specific use cases and integration methods that the customization is meant to address. This guide is intended for experienced developers. A knowledge and familiarity with coding in JavaScript is recommended.

Note that an Encompass Developer Connect user account is required to access this guide in the Developer Portal. If you do not already have one, please contact your Ellie Mae Relationship Manager for assistance with creating a user account.

The new Encompass Web Customization Developer's Guide has replaced the Encompass Web Input Form Builder Developer's Guide previously provided to Encompass LO Connect users and administrators on this Help site. The Encompass Web Input Form Builder User's Guide is still provided and it has been updated to include pertinent information from the retired Encompass Web Input Form Builder Developer's Guide.
