New Features

Feature Title Description
Core/Connector Processes
9089 Symitar Negative Shares The Symitar connector has been updated to show the correct delinquent date for negative balances on Symitar Share accounts. Previously, the Delinquent Date and the Days Delinquent for negative share balances in the Framework did not match the values in Symitar when a negative balance became positive then negative again in the same day. The same issue also occurred when old Transaction records were not migrated when a financial institution converted to Symitar from a previous core. Now, institutions have the option to choose how the delinquent date will be calculated via a new parameter on the connector page in System Management. Institutions can use the earliest date the account had a negative balance at the end of the day (Method 1) or they can use the most recent date the account went from positive to negative (Method 2).

For more information on this feature, please refer to the Symitar Connector Guide.
9496 Credit Solutions by CU Revest Connector
Credit Solutions by CU Revest is a new connector now available for the Framework Collection solution. This connector enables financial institutions to use Credit Solutions' collection services to work delinquent and charge off accounts. Using this functionality, financial institutions can easily assign and send accounts to Credit Solutions directly within the Framework, which are then imported, worked and sent back by Credit Solutions to provide a seamless and efficient method of outsourcing work.
               
For more information, please see the Credit Solutions by CU Revest Connector Guide.
9516 Symitar to Populate One-to-Many Data From Tracking Record
The Symitar Tracking Record Import has been enhanced to work with version 14 person-centric functionality. The Symitar Tracking Record Import can create accounts from account tracking records, update account-level fields from loan/share tracking records, create/update collateral on an account and update the primary person linked to an account. The exe that is used to generate the stored procedures for tracking records has been enhanced to include collateral data handling and primary person data updates. Additionally, Symitar writeback functionality supports all fields configured from tracking records and will check the collateral or person being updated prior to writing back to the tracking records to ensure the proper collateral or person are updated.

Also for version 14, the following RepGens have been added:
  • AKSW.ACCOUNTTRACKINGPARAM
  • AKSW.LOANTRACKINGPARAM
  • ASKW.SHARETRACKINGPARAM
  • AKSW.TRACKING.DEF

Miscellaneous
10172, 10398 Add a Task This feature allows ad hoc case tasks and assigned case processes to be added to cases by a user while working a case. Buttons have been added to the top of the Task Navigation Panel in the Case Task screen to allow users to include additional case tasks or case processes, and to cancel existing case tasks.
10387 Case Task Escalation This feature allows case tasks to be assigned escalation schedules. When a case task is added to a case, it adheres to the assigned escalation schedule and move queues at predetermined times or after a set duration.
10344 Readiness Report Test - Change field operating on flattened collections
A new readiness report test, Change Field Workflow Step changes fields that are one-to-many, has been added to support the upgrade to version 14 of the Framework. This test looks for any Change Field workflow steps in version 10 that are configured to change the value of one-to-many fields (emails, phones, addresses, collaterals, etc.), as the steps will not work in version 14 and will cause the upgrade to fail. Prior to upgrading, workflows identified in this test should be modified to only use one-to-one fields.
Screens
9452 Equity Analysis Panel An Equity Analysis panel can be added to account and case collateral screens to view, add and edit equity analyses. Equity Analysis fields have been added to the field list for use in views and reports in the Framework.
9684 Add Consolidated View to Address, Phone and Email Panels
A feature has been implemented to add a new filter to address, phone and email panels to reduce the number of records that are displayed. When an address, phone or email panel is rendered in the workspace, a new Hide Duplicates button is selected by default to hide the duplicate records. A record is considered a duplicate if all of the values in all of its fields are an exact match to another record. A new All button is also available in the panel that, when selected, displays all of the person's records including the duplicates.   
9688 Add Views to Related Accounts Panel
A feature has been implemented to add the Open Liable, Delinquent and Delinquent Liable views to the Related Accounts panel when displayed in the workspace. When a liable view is selected, only the accounts for which the person has a liable role, as defined in System Management > Role Types, are displayed.

Feature Title Description
Screens
9686 Max Panel Height for Grid Panels in Screen Designer

10119 Adapt Cases to New Task Infrastructure This feature adapts cases to the task infrastructure being introduced in 14.02, through the following changes:
  • Task processes have been replaced with case processes. Case processes are folders made up of a number of tasks and are assigned to case types when being created.
  • Task templates have been replaced with task types. Task types are used to create individual tasks within a case process or they can be created as Case Tasks which provides the ability to add individual tasks to a case that is being worked.
  • Rules are no longer applied to individual task templates. In a case, rules are executed through a new Execute Rules task type.
  • Task dependencies have been upgraded. The case task screen no longer includes a dependency detail tab for individual tasks. Dependencies now drive which tasks are displayed in the Task Navigation Panel of the case task screen based on results of previous tasks.
10388 Upgrade Case Type administration screens The Case Type edit screen has been upgraded to support the new task infrastructure. the Task Queue field has been removed from the general tab because individual tasks are now assigned to case queues during configuration.

  • The Task Navigation Panel has been upgraded to only display tasks with an active status. Additional ad hoc case processes and case tasks can now be added to the case from the task navigation panel. Case processes and case tasks can also be canceled from the task navigation panel.
  • Add Task Notes button has been removed from the Tasks toolbar and a post comment button has been added.
  • The fields on the Summary tab have been upgraded to display information based on the new task infrastructure.
  • The Dependency Detail, Notes, and Instructions tabs have been replaced with new Work Task, History and Attachments tabs.
    • Work Task - A task type specific, system-defined screen that displays the work to be completed for a task.
    • History - A system-defined screen that displays the comment, audit and attachment history of a task.
    • Attachments -A system-defined screen that provides users the ability to attach, view, and delete documents associated to a task.
10393 Upgrade skip tasks Updates the skip task process when clicking Get Next in the workspace while working a queue. Once a task is skipped, it is marked to be worked the next workday adhering to the task's workday schedule.
10397 Upgrade case task administration screens Task Templates have been removed in version 14.02 and replaced with the Case Tasks. The Case Tasks screen is a system-defined screen that allows administrators to create and manage ad hoc Case Tasks that can be added to cases, of assigned case types, while they are being worked. To create a Case Task, one of the new task types must be chosen from the Create drop-down list.
9616 Event Processing Provides your organization the ability to perform predefined "actions" every time a specific "events" occur in the Collections Framework. If a set event occurs, then the predefined action will automatically fire. Event types that can be assigned to trigger an action are when a Case is created, a Field is changed and when a Collection is added or removed. Actions that can occur when these events happen can either be either the execution of code or the execution of rules.
