How can I view basic statistics of my loan applications, such as denied, approved, pending, and deleted?
CU*BASE has a tool that displays application statistics in a handy dashboard format. Tool #472 Loan Queue Activity Tracking allows you to choose a date range and branch to filter the information, with additional filters such as Underwriter Code, Delivery Channel, Interviewer ID, Loan Category, Product Code, Dealer #, and Business Unit, if you wish. You can also use this dashboard to analyze the data you've selected in your filters, as well as export to a PDF or Excel format. This dashboard c More...

What are some basic browser troubleshooting steps to take when an issue with a website is encountered?
While it is possible that an issue someone runs into on a website is an issue with the web server or a programming issue with the site, it is very important to rule out any browser or workstation incompatibilities first. If the website is not being opened in a supported browser, for instance, it can cause errors that would otherwise not exist. So what are some standard troubleshooting steps than can be taken? Are you using the latest version of your browser? Just like any other piece of software More...

What causes a member check to be returned as 'Refer to Maker'?
Previously, credit unions used Code 38 for “Return to Maker”, but this code is no longer available in the system. This change was initiated by a Reg CC change in 2018. Now, if you are presented with a situation where you need to return a check to another institution, it is recommended that you use one of these codes to clarify the reason for the check return. Some codes allow you to make the change in CU*BASE. Others require that you contact your Check Item Processor. Read below for More...

We are thinking of activating the new See and Jump features for online banking. Can you explain the thinking behind the security, and why only an account owner can have this access?
IMPORTANT NOTE: With the new look for It’s Me 247 being released during 2021, the “See” option shown on here is temporarily unavailable. Members who had See-only access previously configured will no longer have access. Jump, however, is still available. There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in. Both extend beyond online banking to consider a financial institution&rs More...

I accidentally hit my SHIFT key a bunch of times, and a window popped up on my screen that I clicked OK on, and now my keyboard is acting really funny.
If you press the SHIFT key five times in rapid succession it will ask if you would like to turn on StickyKeys. If you click OK, it will turn on StickyKeys. StickyKeys is an accessibility option in Windows that allows for someone to use the CTRL, ALT or SHIFT keys one key at a time without having to hold the keys down. To turn StickyKeys off: Click on the Start button Click Control Panel If you see “Pick a category” with 10 categories below, click Accessibility Options, and then c More...

Explain how the Secondary Names (SECNAMES) file works to store joint owner names, especially in cases where a membership doesn't really have "joint owners" per se (like a Representative Payee).
The Secondary Names (SECNAMES) file stores instructions that link a membership account to another member or non-member record. The file stores links to joint owner names and beneficiary names for all non-IRA account types. (IRA beneficiaries are stored in a completely different file because they are linked to an IRA Plan Type, not specific individual sub-accounts.) The file also stores a third type referred to as miscellaneous owner which can be used for any purpose you wish. The most co More...

How long are things such as transaction history, GL and check history, and credit report data retained?
For CU*Answers online clients, effective in March 2017 the standard online retention is 12 months for basic savings and checking accounts, and 48 months for all certificates, IRAs (shares and CDs), HSA share and checking accounts, club accounts (such as vacation, holiday, Christmas), tax escrows, and all loans. Prior to March 2017, data retention was 6 months for savings/checking, and 24 months for other member transaction history . Note that when this data is purged, it also removes the additio More...

If I turn on the auto-launch feature for Photo IDs in the teller system, will the ID appear faster than it did before?
Performance should not be noticeably different. Remember that basically all the feature does is click the Verify My ID button for you, saving you the trouble of that extra click, and allowing you to continue working while the ID is loaded. Other than that the process works basically the same as if you'd clicked the button yourself. The ID image is still in the same place it was before, and the system still has to go and find it and pull it back for you to view.

Are local administrator privileges required in order for a workstation to receive CU*BASE GOLD updates?
For normal releases of changes to the CU*BASE GOLD software itself, no. Updates to the core software screens (called panels) are pushed to your credit union's GUAPPLE(s), then each workstation grabs those updates the next time the software is launched (assuming there are no open sessions already running). The exception to this is when we need to deploy updates to the LegaSuite client software itself. This is the client software that runs on the workstation to facilitate the use of CU*BASE More...

Does Employee Account Security control an employee's access to an account from everywhere on CU*BASE? For example, how about from Payroll or ACH?
Not every feature that potentially shows account details on an employee's account is governed by the Employee Account Security controls. Apart from technical impracticalities, our basic philosophy has been that employees who are given access to “sensitive” features (like Collections, or posting payrolls, etc.) should be trusted employees, and they should be allowed to use the tools to do their job. If they have to be hobbled or monitored, then perhaps they shouldn’t be tr More...

A member did not get either an October or November statement, but his December statement showed a range of 12/1 to 12/31, not 10/1 to 12/31 as I would have expected. Can you explain?
In this particular member's situation there was no activity in either October or November that triggered a statement. The credit union's quarterly (and year-end) statements are configured to produce a statement for every member, regardless of activity level, but monthly statements are more restrictive in an attempt to save postage costs, and not every member gets a statement every month. NOTE: CU*BASE statements have a considerable number of configuration options that allow credit unio More...

One of the custom reports I have set up in the Query Scheduler is not running properly. I recall something about file changes and updates that I need to make. Can you explain?
Whenever you add files to your Query definition or remove files from it, you also need to refresh the automation configuration, which is basically just a list of the files needed by the Query and must match the Query definition. See the link below for step-by-step instructions.

How can I create a report of members who received unemployment deposits in a given month?
The best way to gather this information is via Report Builder (Query), This report will require building a string query to identify memberships who have received unemployment deposits in a given month. Please Note : Using Tool #100 to build queries typically requires training. The information written below assumes the reader already has entry-level understanding of database terminology and query skills.

How do GOLD updates work?
The update process consists of three steps: Get the update package from CU*Answers Unpack the update package Update the PCs at your site Files are created by our programming team that need to get to you when it is time for an update. The combined size can be very large. To reduce the size, the files are bundled and compressed. The resulting package is placed on a server here at CU*Answers. You contact that server and retrieve the update package using either a GUAPPLE device or shortcuts that you More...

Are there any rules about how I should scan documents into the CU*Spy image vault?
Yes. Since this vault is a shared resource, it's important that we all do our part to keep it running as efficiently and smoothly as possible for everyone who uses it. One of the ways to do this is to use appropriate settings when scanning hard-copy documents in to be stored in the vault. For photo IDs , the rules are baked right into the CU*BASE software, so if you scan an ID, the ProDOC system will automatically optimize the image to use grayscale, 100 dpi resolution, and a scan size of More...

Can I use CU*BASE GOLD on a Surface tablet?
We currently do not warrant the use of CU*BASE on any tablet, including the Surface. The people who have experimented with have said that there are interface difficulties with how function keys work, among other things. Also remember that CU*BASE GOLD cannot be resized to fill a screen, whether a tablet or a desktop unit, due to the basic infrastructure of the LegaSuite software.

In Tool #1980 Library Dashboard, why is the table size different when I copy one of the tables?
The table size values that you see in Tool #1980 Library Dashboard represent much more than just # of records. It’s the size of literally everything about that table in the database – name, description, or other backend “metadata” items which are used to define a table and use it for processing. Changes in size on any or all of these items are often simply part of system processing and to be expected. As an example, let’s say you have a table called MBRLIST1 and y More...

My member gets a Social Security (SSA) deposit via ACH. We use an ACH distribution to pay the member’s loan payment, but the loan payment was not made. Why did this happen and what benefits are there to using an Automated Funds Transfer (AFT) instead?
Prior to the 16.10 release, the SSA began using multiple Company IDs, and it was recommended that credit unions consider using Automated Funds Transfers (AFTs) to handle distributions. Beginning the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system will be implemented that will automatically funnel all incoming company IDs from the Social Security Administration and treat them as if they came from one, consistent company ID we’re referring to as the “Primary ID.” With the changes ma More...

I am receiving a 'printer timeout error' when trying to print a document to my HP Laserjet 2200. What should I do?
The first thing to do is make sure all the cables are connected securely to the printer and the PC. Be sure to note if one of the cables is a network cable. If all of the cables are securely connected and you still cannot print, restart the PC and the printer. If you receive the same error once the printer and PC are back up, there is likely a hardware issue with the printer. If one of the cables that plugs into the printer is a network cable then the Jet Direct card (a network interface More...

If we use Household Scoring for Tiered Services, will members earn Lifetime points based on the highest score in the household, or based on their individual score?
Household Scoring for Tiered Services is a feature that allows all members to be placed in the same Tiered Service level as the highest member of that household. However, when Lifetime points are calculated CU*BASE uses the individual member's score to determine the number of points they will earn. For example, John and Jane Doe are in the same household. In January, Jane earns 350 T.S. points, enough to be placed in the Gold level. John earns only 150 points, which would place him in the Bas More...

Do you have an explanation for members concerning the APYE calculation on their statement?
Truth-In-Savings requires certain disclosures on periodic statements. One of the disclosures required on dividend-bearing accounts is the “annual percentage yield earned (APYE)”. The APYE is an annualized rate that reflects the relationship between the amount of dividends actually paid to the member’s account during the period and the average daily balance in the account for that period. *Note - this calculation uses the member’s average daily balance for the period, More...

How can I use Telnet to test connectivity to the high-availability (HA) server?
We strongly recommend that you regularly test access to the HA server to ensure that you can connect to CU*BASE in the event of an HA rollover test or actual disaster. We recommend that you perform this test monthly and whenever you make a change to your network. To perform this test, follow the instructions below. 1. Ensure that Telnet is installed on your workstation. If you are running Windows 10, you’ll need to install Telnet. Visit https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/conten More...

I have a husband and wife who both receive Social Security payments to the same membership. Now that CU*BASE uses the new way of handling ACH transactions from the SSA, these are causing duplicate distributions to be posted. What should I do if my members still wish for them to be separate transactions?
With the 16.10 release a new cross-reference system was implemented that automatically funnels all incoming company IDs from the Social Security Administration and treat them as if they came from one, consistent company ID we’re referring to as the “Primary ID.” In cases where the Depositor ID is the same, for example a husband and wife, these ACH transactions will be handled by the same master ACH distribution record under the Depositor ID since duplicate Depositor IDs are no More...
