What's New - December 2022

Quality of Life

Solution Pack Objects

When using the Standard Trial database, it can be confusing to identify the tables or views containing relevant information because so many are included in our comprehensive portfolio of property data. A new section has been added to our solution pack documentation, providing details of the specific SQL objects (Tables or Views) that form part of that solution pack. It is hoped that this will help you get to the data even faster.

Data

Assignments and Releases

Loan Originator

Provides details about the lender and broker for mortgages required by law to be recorded as part of Deeds and Mortgage. The information is included on the property lien and standardized using identifiers assigned by the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS).

Solution Packs

Tableau Starter Kits

To help those of you that are looking to import ATTOM Cloud data into Tableau, we have begun work on providing a series of starter kits for each solution pack demonstrating how to use the data with Tableau. These are developed as packed workbooks that can be downloaded with the necessary ATTOM Cloud data already included. 

Bugs

Sometimes in a rush to deliver new features and enhancements, we allow bugs to creep into the code. We're pretty sure there are a lot more that haven't yet been found, but of those that have been discovered by our customers or the team here at ATTOM, the following are some that we believe we have squashed this month.

Alphanumeric Tax Areas

The /property/expandedprofile and /saleshistory/expandedhistory endpoints have been updated so that they will support alphanumeric tax area codes. Previously, only numeric values were accepted.

Reset Password Breaking Connections

When using Direct Integration or the SQL Editor, we provide information for connecting to each of the ATTOM Cloud databases to which you have access (e.g. Standard Trial, Shared Instance, Dedicated Instance). It has been found that after a password reset or password change that the connections were no longer working. We have investigated the problem and are pleased to report the issue has been fixed.
