3 Opening a Foreclosure
All fields underlined in red are require fields.

- Arrow – Lets the user collapse the entire panel section so it’s hidden except for the blue bar
- Plus sign – Lets the user expand and collapse the hidden sections of a panel
–
NOTE: The loan information may not be populated when you try to open the Foreclosure. Freddie Mac provides limited loan information prior to cases being opened. Once the Foreclosure case has been opened, the loan and property information will populate within 24 to 48 hours.

13. The Start Date (selected below on the left) will auto-populate with today’s date. The Start Sate should be the date in which you received the file, and not necessarily the date that you open the file in ADR (although if you did receive the file the same day that you are opening it in ADR, then this is okay). Also be advised that a future date can not be entered.
The other two sections that you are required to enter are your Atty Case # and the Firm Name. The Firm Name should auto-populate with your firm organization that you are associated to in ADR, but it is best practice to still make sure by clicking the dropdown to make sure the right organization is selected, especially if you are associated to more than one organization.

If your firm does business in several states, and you are a member of each organization, you will need to be sure the correct organization is in the drop down. If you do not have the correct state and organization, you will not be able to open the foreclosure.
14. The Foreclosure has been opened – See the Status and Start Date reflect the date entered, and status “Open” – Be advised that the Start Date should be the date the Foreclosure File was originally referred to your firm, and necessarily the date in which you open the file (unless the referral date and the date you open the file are the same, then the date would reflect the same).
15. The number you provided in the Attorney Case Number field will be highlighted blue (as shown below). This Case Number is clickable and is the way you will access the file itself.
NOTE: if this attorney case number is not highlighted blue, this means you do not have access to the file. If your organization has an open file that you do not have access to, you will need to contact your Security Administrator and request for access.
16. Upon clicking the blue hyperlink (the Atty Case Number), you are brought to the Foreclosure Summary page, which shows all the details of said Foreclosure. This panel can be expanded or retracted based on the clicking of the white arrow icon and the white “+” icon (which becomes a “-” when clicked, and so on), as shown below.

PLEASE NOTE: the “+” icon to the left of “Summary – Phillip” in this example was clicked to expand the Loan Summary page to reveal the Labels shown below.

5. The Projected Completion Date is now populated in the Tasks panel.
6.5 Bulk Updating Tasks
The ability to bulk update Tasks is now available in the production environment. These are the step-by-step instructions:
- Run the ADR – Case Load Next Task Due report
- Add two columns to the far right, ensuring that all other columns remain untouched. These columns will be titled “ActualCompletion” and “ProjectedCompletion”, as shown here.
- You will likely need to sort and filter the spreadsheet before adding the columns and projections/completions If you do, make sure the entire spreadsheet is sorted, so none of the ID columns get misaligned with the rest of the data. This is very important, as misalignment of the data will lead to incorrect Tasks being updated.
- The rules for the dates that you’ll enter in these columns follow the same rules as if you were entering them from the front end, i.e. can’t complete a Task in the future, can’t project a Task in the past, etc. You will also find that Tasks that require additional data to be entered when completing also cannot be updated using this function. Examples of this are Complaint Filed (requires Court Case Number) and Sale Held (requires sale and bidding information).
- Once you’ve entered all of your projection and completion dates in columns Y & Z, save it to your desktop (or some other location on your machine that you’ll remember)
- Navigate to Home >> Import Files and in the panel on the left, labeled Import Dashboard, you’ll select Bulk Task Updates
- Drag and drop the file from the location you chose into the blue bar and ensure it appears in the panel below it.
- Refresh the lower panel until it reaches a terminal status (Complete or Error).
- If it lands at an error, contact support@quandis.com for further assistance.
- If it lands at Complete, you can click on the link in the Import File column, then select the Logging tab to review the update operations. If there are any errors, you can click on the error message and it will tell you why it failed (i.e. business rules such as future dates being used for completion). You can either correct those from the front end by navigating to each individual case, or correct them within the spreadsheet and resubmit those rows.
- Validate the updates are accurate by navigating to a subset of the cases and reviewing their Projected and Actual Completion Dates

If a Foreclosure has gone to sale, has been opened in error, or you’ve been instructed that the file should not be open for any other reason (i.e. Servicer Request), the file will need to be closed. If an incorrect Start Date was entered, you may also choose to close the file out to allow a new file to be opened, or Restart it (see Section 7).
