Change Date: 12/6/2021

Details: The following entry was removed from the Fixed Issues for Encompass 21.4 section. The issue and resolution described in the entry was applicable to earlier versions of Encompass, not Encompass 21.4.

Issue Resolved: AIQ Loan Log Notification Available in Only One Encompass Instance on Multi-Tenant Machines Subscribed to AIQ Notification

On a multi-tenant server, if two Encompass instances are enabled with AIQ, the green AIQ message notifications that display in the Loan Log’s Alerts & Messages tab along with a pop-up message that notifies the loan team member when new updates to the loan file are available, were only being provided in one of the instances. This issue has been resolved so that the green AIQ message notification is now provided in all AIQ enabled Encompass instances.

Change Type: New entries added

Change Date: 11/29/2021

Details: The following new entry was added to the Feature Enhancements section:

Windows 11 Operating System Now Supported

Windows 11, Build 22471.1000 is now supported for use with Encompass 21.4

For more information about Encompass system requirements and compatibility with third-party applications, refer to the System Requirements and Compatibility Matrix.

In addition, a link to the 21.4 Administrator's Checklist was added to the Introduction section of these release notes.

The following new entries were added to the Fixed Issues section:

System Audit Trail and Reporting Database Now Updating as Expected When New AIQ Data is Retrieved

After Encompass retrieved new AIQ data and a loan save was performed, the System Audit Trail and Encompass Reporting Database were not being updated accordingly because the system was not recognizing any changes between the Encompass client and server data. Since users rely on the Reporting Database field changes for their workflow and were not notified of any changes, they were needing to manually review each file for updates. This issue has been resolved so that the System Audit Trail and Encompass Reporting Database are now updated accordingly when changed AIQ data is retrieved in Encompass.

Issue Resolved: AIQ Loan Log Notification Available in Only One Encompass Instance on Multi-Tenant Machines Subscribed to AIQ Notifications

On a multi-tenant server, if two Encompass instances are enabled with AIQ, the green AIQ message notifications that display in the Loan Log’s Alerts & Messages tab along with a pop-up message that notifies the loan team member when new updates to the loan file are available, were only being provided in one of the instances. This issue has been resolved so that the green AIQ message notification is now provided in all AIQ enabled Encompass instances.
