Keeping your profile accurate helps your business remain visible and eligible for assignments that match your services, coverage, qualifications, and fees. To receive UAD 3.6 assignments, configure the Products, Eligibility, and Professional tabs in your Vendor Profile. As the appraisal industry moves from form-based products to data-centric assignments, these settings determine whether you qualify for orders based on property characteristics, loan details, valuation capabilities, experience, and fee structure. --- ## How to update your vendor profile for UAD 3.6 assignments Complete the following three profile sections to receive eligible UAD 3.6 appraisal assignments in Mercury Network®. > [!NOTE] > **Warning:** You must complete all three sections to be eligible for **UAD 3.6** orders and to appear as “**ready**” on lender reporting. ### How to update products and fees tab UAD 3.6 uses a data-centric appraisal model in which the scope of work is defined by data points instead of individual form types. The products and base fees you select on the **Products** tab, together with the property criteria on the **Eligibility** tab, determine which UAD 3.6 orders you can receive.
