Data export
Point interfaces with Microsoft Windows applications and applications that are used by the
following types of companies:
•
Credit

Other mortgage service companies
If you do business with lenders that offer automated underwriting systems, the data export
engine can send the data in Point files to those applications. Point includes a data export
template (called
sample.exp
) that contains more than 70 of the most commonly-used fields
for data export. Use this template as a basis for building your own template, or create new
data export templates.

To import a batch of files, you must enable the Auto File Naming utility
(select
