What’s New – Commercial Express® R1.14.1

Introduction

The latest release of Commercial Express® (CE) and Commercial ExpressLync (CEL) includes new functionality along with updates to current functionality. This document serves as a high-level guide to the changes that have been made as part of the Commercial Express R1.14.1 release.

New Functionality

Commercial Building Prefill Update

Commercial Express® will have an additional data source for Commercial Building Prefill beginning with the Q2 2024 Data Mart release. This release of Commercial Express allows the platform to utilize this data. The new data source is blended in with the current data source to provide a more accurate and reliable source of truth for Commercial Building Prefill. The new data increases our coverage throughout the United States. Additionally, it augments the Occupancy Code, Square Footage, Number of Stories, and Year Built.

Field Level Security

This release added new rights that if absent from a user role will prevent a user from modifying certain fields. The fields that are affected by these new rights are Story Height, Plumbing Fixtures, and Interior Wall Partition Length. CoreLogic will assign these new rights to all roles upon deployment of the release. It is the client responsibility to remove the rights from the roles where they may want users to not modify those fields. For example, the new right for Edit Story Height can be removed from the AG (Agent) role which would prevent the user from modifying the story height.

This is a User Interface (UI) only change, it does not impact the ExpressLync API. It is expected that the client would not allow their users to include changes to these fields when they are adding or updating valuations.

Updates to Existing Functionality

Several updates to existing Commercial Express® functionality have been addressed in the Commercial Express R1.14.1 release.

Custom Field Updates

The custom fields that can be defined by each client now enforce the limit of fifty (50) characters per text field. The clients can also request that certain special characters be prohibited from being used in the text fields. For example, $|%#@ and others can be prevented from being used in the custom text field. Please contact the Client Delivery Team for assistance in defining which fields to prohibit.

Help Update

The help documentation for Stiffened Grain Bins has been updated to reflect the allowed inputs more accurately.
