How to update your Vendor Profile for UAD 3.6 assignments

Follow the steps in this article to update your vendor profile to be eligible to start receiving UAD 3.6 order assignments.

How to configure your vendor profile

Click Users at the top of the window.
Complete or update your Profile by selecting each tab at the top of the screen and entering your order preferences, notification settings, and professional qualifications.

Note: Professional profiles must be updated specifically for UAD 3.6 eligibility (e.g., mortgage and construction types) to avoid assignment issues.

How to configure the Details tab

In the Details tab, enter your personal information, such as your address, email addresses, phone numbers, and time zone. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

Note: Select Save in the upper-left corner to apply your changes before navigating to the next tab.

How to configure the Professional tab

In the Professional tab, configure your accepted order types, professional qualifications, and assignment completion details.

Tip: Do not select Save in the standalone W-9 sub-menu before performing a master system save. Doing so prevents the engine from locating a registered parent profile on the server, resulting in a browser freeze and data loss.

How to configure Products and Fees

In the Products tab, specify your accepted payment types and the published fee for each product to accept Mercury Network® orders.

How to configure Eligibility criteria

In the Eligibility tab, select the checkboxes for all applicable property characteristics below to define your coverage. Your selections indicate that you accept assignments for those characteristics and determine your eligibility for order assignments.

How to configure Coverage areas

In the Coverage tab, behavior differs for AMCs and Appraisers. AMC users select coverage by state, while Appraisers select coverage by county.

How to manage My Panels

The My Panels tab displays the fee panels to which clients have added you, where you can view panel statistics and enable automatic order acceptance from those clients.

Note: This behavior differs for AMCs and appraisers. AMCs must accept panel invitations before they are added to a panel, while appraisers are added directly and do not need to accept an invitation.
