A step by step guide on how to on-board and test Maxwell's Hosted Encompass eDisclosures feature.
Table of Contents
Feature Overview
We’re excited to announce a major enhancement to the eDisclosure experience within our point of sale (POS), made possible through our integration with Encompass Partner Connect and the Partner Doc Delivery APIs. This update creates a more seamless, transparent, and reliable eDisclosure process for both borrowers and lenders.
Key Benefits
1. Streamlined Borrower Experience
Borrowers will now receive, view, and sign their Mortgage eDisclosures directly from the Maxwell point of sale (POS). We've eliminated redirect, authentication, and consent steps that caused friction and confusion for borrowers, delivering a faster, more intuitive, and mobile-friendly signing flow.
Steps removed for borrowers:
No redirect or SSO into Encompass Consumer Connect (ECC)
No authentication code required
No additional eConsent required
No need to close ECC iFrame to update task status
2. Increased Transparency for Loan Officers in the POS
With our new signing status updates Loan Officers gain real-time visibility into borrower progress with disclosures (sent, viewed, signed, declined) making it easier to offer timely support and guidance to borrowers.
Additionally, LOs can view and sign disclosures directly from the POS, to improve workflow efficiency.

3. Seamless and Reliable Encompass Integration
Built on Encompass Partner Connect and the Partner Doc Delivery APIs, this integration enables secure, reliable, and automated document flow between Encompass and Maxwell.
Key Improvements
Automated delivery and sync of disclosure packages between Encompass & Maxwell using Partner Doc Delivery APIs
Resolves borrower authentication and SSO binding issues
Activity logs in both POS and LOS for improved self-serve support
How Maxwell Hosted eDisclosures Works
Lender generates disclosures in the Encompass eFolder and selects “Send to Maxwell POS Disclosures” as the delivery method.
Maxwell receives the disclosure documents instantly after generation.
Documents are packaged into a single eSigning envelope via DocuSign.
An eDisclosure task is created in the POS and email notifications are sent to all borrower participants.
Borrowers log into the POS, navigate to the eDisclosure task, and click "View & Sign."
The DocuSign envelope opens directly in the POS, allowing borrowers to complete signing.
Maxwell tracks all signing activity (opened, signed, declined), updating the POS and Encompass logs.
LO logs into the POS to view borrower signing statuses and sign disclosures
Once all participants have signed, the task is completed and documents are synced back to Encompass eFolder

Encompass Setup
To enable the hosted disclosures feature an Encompass admin from your organization will have to complete the following four steps to set up the Maxwell Partner Document Delivery services.
From Encompass Admin
Go to Services Mangement and select Add Service.
Select Document Preparation and click Retrieve Products.

Locate the Maxwell service and click on Manual.

Configure the Service by adding a service setup name, description, readiness conditions, and authorized user. The Service Setup Name is what will be displayed to your LOs and disclosure desk team members in the Delivery Method dropdown that they will use to select how the disclosures will be delivered to borrower. So you'll want to choose a name that is simple and self-explanatory to your team members. Examples: Maxwell Delivery, POS Delivery, or Send to {Your Site Name}.
