As always, check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the update priority for your institution.

Comply 17.11 Now Available
Comply 17.11 is now available for download. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and can be implemented at your earliest convenience. Since our 17.1 release in March, there have been changes made to Comply that affect both CRA and HMDA reporters. For CRA reporters, the 17.1 update inadvertently ceased to round the Loan Amount, which has been corrected in this release. There have also been a couple edit changes made to correct some Validity and Quality edits as published by the CFPB, including the Q617 edit. At the moment, we believe this new version of Comply is fully in sync with the 2018 CFPB FIG edit specifications as they have not published any changes since February. As always, check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the update priority
UPDATE: The Official 2017 Peer HMDA data is now available
The Official 2017 Peer HMDA data is now available for Comply DataMine and the Peer-2-Peer website. The data is available on the RATA Support Site. If you downloaded and installed the pre-release version of the data, this will simply overwrite the old data. The DataMine tool allows institutions to create Excel pivot tables and custom reports with the peer data and also compare it to your current HMDA data. Once you have installed this data you will have to do a full Sync in Datamine to use it. The Peer-2-Peer product is a web-based tool designed to help you understand how your institution is lending compared to specific peers or the rest of the industry. The Peer tool can help you see Summary Lending data for any submitting institution as well as Ranking reports and Market Share reports.
Comply 17.1 Now Available and Highly Recommended
Comply 17.1 is now available for download. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 releases and should be implemented at your earliest convenience. For the last few months the CFPB has made many updates to the 2018 FIG that affect both the data field formatting and the edits. As of this minute, we believe this new version is fully in sync with the FIG. As usual, check the changes document to see what else has changed to decide the update priority for your institution. Because much of this update has to do with 2018 FIG changes we strongly recommend that you install this version ASAP. In addition to the CFPB changes, this version has enhancements and new functionality. The biggest new feature is the introduction of our new Comply Dashboard View which allows users to create
View Definitions - Form, List and now Dashboard

Since the release of Comply 17, users have had a completely new way to create custom List view and Form view definitions. In previous versions of Comply users were able to create only custom List views and that was always very helpful for looking at data different ways. When trying to figure out the best way to deal with the 2018 field changes we expanded the custom views to also include Form views. By doing this, users can easily switch between the Comply Editor (Classic) view (which is for years 2017 and prior) and the Comply Editor view (2018 and later). Users can also create their own views, such as one page views, limited field views, rearranged views, etc. With Comply 17.1 users can actually integrate field-level charts into these views as well.
