Application – Overview tab

The Application Overview tab is the starting tab within an application.  The Overview screen provides key details of the application.

 

 

1. Tab Shortcuts

The top of the overview page displays the loan amounts, lifecycle stage and high level metrics. The middle of the page provides actions and communication triggers, while the bottom of the page features a timeline that illustrates the progress of the application status, including the time and date of each event.

 

Header Tabs

The header displays the label ‘Edit Application’ shows the elements of data that are required to be provided to define an application as being complete. These tabs will be different depending on the Product category as well as the lifecycle stages.

When there is information still required before the application can be submitted through to assessment or simply completed in the case of an ‘Admin’ form, this will be indicated in the form of a blue bubble next to the tab with a number indicating how many requirements are needing to be met.  The image below shows a number of missing information across multiple tabs.

2. View Users

The View User link in the top right corner allows you to see who is currently accessing the application between customers, staff and brokers.  The ‘View Users‘ button is universal across all portals.

When you click on the link, a pop-up will display the identities of the current users logged in as per the image below.

Once the application moves into assessment, a shortcut button next to the ‘View Users’ will be created.  This will allow efficient navigation between the ‘Application‘ & ‘Assessment‘ layers without the need to manually search for the application again, through the assessment menu.

3. Summary

The summary displays:

  • The application for (Loan amount) – The Total amount the applicant is looking to borrow
  • Is currently in (Application status) – The stage that the application is currently in (E.g. Enquiry, Application, Assessment, Declined)
  • Transactional Risk scores (optional) – Illion’s Transaction Risk Scoring rating.
    • NOTE: This is a paid service via Illion – Further details on using this system can be found under the ‘Specialty Functions > Risk > Automation tab section on this support site.
  • Credit Bureau (optional in the application stage) – The ‘ADD BUREAU’ button, runs a credit check at the application stage of the deal which flows through to the assessment stage.
  • Applicant ID (Add Digital ID) – Whether the Digital ID has been completed.
  • Indicative Surplus (ex. credit rules) – An indicative surplus prior to credit policy rules, showing whether the application can pass without applying credit policies.
  • Shortfall (Serviceability calculation) – An available funds position indicating whether it is positive or negative, which is especially valuable for home purchases.

 Note: The summary section may look differently between loan applications and between lenders depending on a number of variables that your organisation has setup for their loan origination process.

4. To Be Completed

The To Be Completed area provides a quick summary of the tabs that have outstanding items yet to be completed.  Users can click on the tabs from this section to go straight to the page.  The tabs that appear here will also correlate with the tabs that have blue bubbles next to them.

To progress the application, each of these tabs will require the missing information to be completed before progressing to the assessment stage.  Common examples of missing information include (but not limited to):

  • Banks Statements (auto populating Assets, Liabilities and the Incomes tabs)

Important Note: If an application is in settlement status and its status is changed back to assessment, then moved back to settlement status, the customer profile in Nimo Servicing will not be duplicated, provided the customer details have not changed. However, due to the re-submission, a new loan number will be generated. In these circumstances, please contact Nimo to remove the redundant loan number.

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. The applicant said they finished the application; however it hasn't moved from the Enquiry to Application stage?

This may have occurred because the applicant closed their browser/tab too quickly while the form landing page was still loading.

You can manually change the application status from Enquiry to Application using the ‘Change Status‘ button in the timeline section of the ‘Overview‘ tab.

Note: This button is available throughout the loan, but please check with your superusers before changing the status from Settlement back to Assessment

A dialog box will pop-up for you to select the application stage to change to. You’ll then need to provide a reason for the change.

Next, a confirmation screen will pop-up asking you to manually capture the applicants consent form and upload into the documents tab of the application.

After confirming the timeline will now reflect the change highlighted by the clickable ‘Manual’ status.

Clicking on the word Manual will open up the change log of this action.
