I’m sure you’re ready to move that spreadsheet tracking all of your client and partner information into the Recycle Bin, but you’re dreading the time it will take to move all the records into Whiteboard…FEAR NOT! We have made the transition as easy as possible!
Our Data Import Utility is the vehicle for importing clients, partners, and mortgage data into Whiteboard. The steps you take during the import process defines how the data will be created in Whiteboard.
Whiteboard’s Import utility supports two (2) primary methods of importing data.
Be sure to adjust active campaign settings prior to an import. If assistance is needed, please contact Whiteboard.
Fannie Mae 3.2 File Format (FNM 3.2) Import
Fannie Mae 3.2 (FNM 3.2) files are the standard in porting mortgage data between sources, there is no mapping required by the user to import them. Importing FNM 3.2 files is almost as easy as dragging and dropping the file into Whiteboard and confirming record creation. Keep in mind, the utility allows only one import at a time. It’s designed to keep your existing database up-to-date with minimal double-data entry. The FNM 3.2 file import process automatically creates the client record and corresponding mortgage form with the all the data that was available at the time of export.
We do not recommend that you attempt import the same FNM 3.2 file multiple times. It’s important to note, not everything you see in your Loan Origination System (LOS) will be in the FNM file. Therefore you will not see the exact same mix of information in Whiteboard that you do in your LOS.
After your FNM 3.2 file is successfully imported, you will see a completion screen and will be offered the ability to import your next FNM 3.2 file if available.
You can see the FNM 3.2 import process below:
