Platform enhancements

None at this time.

Platform enhancements only visible with UAD 3.6 enabled

Option to turn off customer turn times on UAD 3.6 orders [APPMOD-12343]: 
Administrators can now turn off customer turn times for UAD 3.6 orders like they can for UAD 2.6. When turn times are off, the system no longer sets an unwanted due date. 

Security improvements

We are continuing regular maintenance activities to support system security, protect user data, and ensure reliable performance. 

Issue resolutions

RFP attachments now arrive intact [APPMOD-12432]:
We fixed an issue with file attachments on RFP orders. Vendors now receive working, readable files when you send attachments with a Request for Proposal (RFP) on a UAD 3.6 order.

EPC collections form now fills in for UAD 3.6 orders [APPMOD-12364, APPMOD-12404, APPMOD-12405]:
We fixed an issue where EPC collections forms were not filling in all the expected data for UAD 3.6 orders. EPC collections forms now populate all expected data including appraiser and supervisor details. Administrators can now set up and manage separate EPC mappings for UAD 2.6 and UAD 3.6 orders.

Coming soon

FHA EAD UAD 3.6
Work is officially underway for FHA EAD UAD 3.6!  Our team will be hard at work on it throughout Q4, and we're targeting delivery later in Q1 2027. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer. 

Log and Message
Message preview collapse and expand. We are working to provide a streamlined and collapsed version of the Log and message queue in the order summary so users can preview more messages on the screen at once.

This dedicated site offers comprehensive documentation on the upcoming platform updates to support UAD 3.6 appraisal workflow.  We will keep the site regularly updated with new resources to help you navigate the changes smoothly, so check back often.
