ClosedHow sequencing affects the order of the Lender Key Contacts widget in Encompass TPO Connect

The sequence of the TPO Global Lender Contacts list directly affects the sequence of the TPO Company level Lender Contacts list and the subsequent rendering of the Lender Key Contacts widget in Encompass TPO Connect. The TPO Company level Lender Contacts list is ordered by "Primary" Sales Reps followed by other Sales Reps (alphabetical by name), and then the TPO Global Contacts in the order in which they have been sequenced.

The Lender Key Contacts widget in Encompass TPO Connect follows the same order as above, except that the entries are grouped by channel as follows: All Channels (where no channel has been selected), Wholesale, Non-Delegated, and then Delegated. If a specific contact has more than one Channel selected, it is displayed in each selected section.

ClosedTo Sequence Contacts in the Grid

  1. On the menu bar, click Encompass, and then click Settings.
  2. On the left panel, click External Company Setup, and then click TPO Global Lender Contacts.
  3. Select the entry you want to move, and then click the Up and Down arrows.
