Abstract
Unstructured explanatory information is added to an electronic mortgage form and other borrower/applicant documentation. When a user wishes to document or explain any entry or data, the user may add and insert an explanatory footnote into the electronic mortgage form and other borrower/applicant documentation. The user may enter a keyboard command or other instruction for locating and formatting the footnote. The user enters/types the text of the footnote, which may also include or specify an HTML, tag that references a document attachment. When the electronic mortgage form is then generated, the electronic mortgage form incorporates the explanatory footnote. However, the HTML tag is replaced with a more human-understandable attachment name.
Claims20
A method performed by a server that generates an unstructured footnote associated with an electronic mortgage form, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the server via the Internet, a query specifying a mortgage identifier uniquely identifying the electronic mortgage form;
- identifying, by the server, an attachment class structure by querying an electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the attachment class structure;
- identifying, by the server, an unstructured footnote by querying the electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the unstructured footnote;
- identifying, by the server, a hyperlink by querying the electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the hyperlink;
- and
- generating, by the server, the unstructured footnote by incorporating the hyperlink into the electronic mortgage form as a download mechanism for an attachment represented by the attachment class structure.
A server generating an unstructured footnote associated with an electronic mortgage form, the server comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a memory device storing instructions that when executed by the hardware processor perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a query via the Internet that specifies a mortgage identifier uniquely identifying the electronic mortgage form;
- identifying an attachment class structure by querying an electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the attachment class structure;
- identifying an unstructured footnote by querying the electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the unstructured footnote;
- identifying a hyperlink by querying the electronic database that associates the mortgage identifier to the hyperlink;
- and
- generating the unstructured footnote by incorporating the hyperlink into the electronic mortgage form as a download mechanism for an attachment represented by the attachment class structure.
