Access and Administration

Dealer Information and Preferences

The Dealership System Administrator (DSA) for your dealership will need to make any changes to dealership information and preferences. 

To locate the DSA for your dealership, click the ‘Gear’ icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A pop-up window will appear, and your DSA will be listed at the top of the window. 

 

Setting Dealer Information


Hover over the ‘Admin’ tab in the top navigation and select ‘Dealer Info’ from the dropdown menu.

Input the relevant information, where applicable, for:
 
  • Dealership Information
  • eContracting
  • Online Digital Retail Services
  • Enrollment Information
  • Required information is highlighted and marked by an asterisk (*).
Click the ‘Save Information’ button at the bottom of the page to save your settings. 
 
 
 
 

Dealership Compliance Preferences


Hover over the ‘Admin’ tab in the top navigation and select ‘Preferences’ from the dropdown menu. 

 

Setting Risk Models: CSDN and Adverse Action Notice Generation

The ‘Risk Based Pricing (Credit Score Disclosure Notice/CSDN) and Adverse Action Generation’ section is helpful if you purchase multiple risk models from your credit bureau provider(s). 

In the case where you purchase only one risk model, RouteOne will populate your Adverse Action Notices and Credit Score Disclosure Notices with the risk model and score information from the credit report you pull. 

If there are multiple risk models within your pulled credit reports, RouteOne needs to know which risk model and score information you prefer to display on your Adverse Action Notices and Credit Score Disclosure Notices.

  • For each Credit Bureau you are subscribed to, select the appropriate ‘Risk Model’ from the dropdown.
  • Next, select the ‘Ranking’ for both ‘RBP/CSDN Ranking’ and ‘Adverse Action Ranking,’ in order to designate which risk model displays when only one exists in the report. When there are multiple risk models in the report, your number one ranked risk model will always display.

Dealers can generate and print a CSDN for all consumer applicants in order to manage compliance under the Fair Credit Reporting Act’s Risk-Based Pricing Rule.

If the credit report was pulled from within RouteOne, the CSDN will be generated automatically and populated with the credit score (Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion, depending on your subscription), and all consumer information, including consumer street address, city, state, and zip code. 

If the credit report was pulled outside of RouteOne, you can still generate a CSDN. The CSDN will be automatically populated with all consumer information, including consumer street address, city, state, and zip code. However, you will need to manually input the credit score, score date, and credit bureau name.

 

AAN/CSDN Warnings

To disable the warning messages from coming up each time a user attempts to generate an Adverse Action Notice (AAN) or Credit Score Disclosure Notice (CSDN) for an application without credit bureau information, make a dealer preference change by clicking the 'Disable AAN/CSDN Warning' checkbox.

 

Auto Complete

By checking the appropriate boxes in this section, you can choose to automatically generate a Credit Score Disclosure Notice (CSDN), Adverse Action Notice (AAN), Privacy Notice, Identity Verification (if subscribed to IDOne) when a credit report is requested. 

Auto-Run OFAC is available to provide multiple checks throughout the deal process. You can set the preference to automatically conduct an OFAC search in either or both of the following circumstances:

  • After every unique deal is created or an existing deal is updated to add a co-buyer
  • Upon submission of a credit application to a finance source

If 'Pre-select all Credit Bureau providers' is selected in this section, these products will be selected by default every time a user of your system opens the ‘Credit & Compliance’ page and checks one or more Credit Bureau box. Not only will these products be selected, but they will also be ‘locked.’ Users will not be able to uncheck the products. These Auto Complete settings ensure that compliance documents are generated with every single credit report. 

When Auto Complete is selected here for AAN, CSDN, and Privacy Notice, they will display when each credit report is requested.

  • As soon as the credit report generates, the AAN, CSDN, and Privacy Notice will pop up on the screen in one window for both the applicant and co-applicant. ‘Results’ will also show a green check mark under the Adverse Action Notice and Credit Score Disclosure Notice icons. 

When Auto Complete is selected here for IDOne and the credit report generates, results will pop-up on the screen in a single window for both the applicant and co-applicant. 

  • Note that if Auto Complete is also set for AAN, CSDN, and Privacy Notice, the IDOne results will display in the same window. 
  • The IDOne and OFAC results are displayed via the icon in the 'Results' section, indicated by a 'Pass,' 'Fail,' 'In Progress,' or 'Caution.’ Users can click the icon to see the full results page.

Additionally, you can set up your dealership to have all Credit Bureau providers pre-checked on the Credit & Compliance page whenever requesting a new Credit Bureau report. Simply check the ‘Pre-select all Credit Bureau providers’ checkbox and save the page.

  • Note that this will not lock down the Credit Bureau provider checkboxes, but will simply pre-check them for ease of use.

While one email address is required to be notified when these selections are changed, you can choose to notify up to five email addresses.

 
 

CSDN Customer Score Graph

In the ‘Risk Based Pricing (Credit Score Disclosure Notice) Customer Score Graph’ section, select ‘Enable Customer Score Graph on Credit Score Disclosure Notice (CSDN)’ if you wish to generate CSDNs with a graph of the score ranges, in addition to the standard statement of the customer's credit score ranking. 

In order to enable eSigning of CSDNs by your customers from the Credit & Compliance page, this preference must be selected. 

To view a sample of this format of the CSDN, click the ‘Click here to access the Sample PDF with Graph’ link.
 
 
 

Compliance Dashboard Sync

This section allows you to select the Compliance functions you would like to sync to the Compliance Dashboard and Compliance Report. To select a Compliance item for sync, simply check the corresponding box. Compliance Sync is based on an exact match of the Customers' first name, last name, and Social Security Number (SSN).

The dealer is responsible for all compliance related matters. By unchecking these boxes, the dealer will have to manually maintain their Compliance Dashboard.

Sync AAN

  • Only one AAN will be sent per 30 day period.
  • Sync AAN is required for subscribers to the RouteOne AAN Mailing Service per the functionality described in the Dealer's agreement for such service.
 

 

SYNC AAN: Automatically Exclude Approvals

  • Automatically Exclude Approvals will exclude approved customers from receiving Adverse Action Notices, so that no Adverse Action Notices will be sent for a customer SSN that received an approval within the preceding 30 days. 
  • Adverse Action Notices that are excluded from generation will appear in the Compliance Dashboard as meeting AAN requirements and will be differentiated with an asterisk. Regardless of any AAN Mailing Service subscription, excluded AANs will not be mailed.
 
 
 
 

Privacy Notice

Upload a Privacy Notice to enable Privacy Notice functionality on the Credit & Compliance page. 

If you are subscribed to Digital Retail, this uploaded Privacy Notice will be used for all Digital Retail features. 


Click 'Select File' and upload a Privacy Notice.

Upload your Privacy Notice in PDF format. The PDF file can be multiple pages, but it cannot exceed 2MB.

If you don't have a Privacy Notice, you can click on the ‘Privacy Notice Builder’ link to navigate to the Federal Reserve Board's Privacy Notice builder. Save the document to your hard drive in order to upload it here. 

Once you’ve uploaded a Privacy Notice, you can enable eSigning by checking both the ‘Include PN’ and ‘eSign’ checkbox. This will allow your customers to eSign a short document that states that they have acknowledged receipt of your Privacy Notice. This will also allow the Privacy Notice to be eSigned and available in the contract package or available for remote signing. 

Arrow pointing to ‘Select File’ button. Box around selected checkboxes for ‘Include PN’ and ‘eSign.’

 

Click the ‘Save Information’ button at the bottom of the page to save your settings.

Once you have uploaded your Privacy Notice, checked the ‘Include PN’, ‘eSign’ checkbox, and clicked the ‘Save Information’ button at the bottom of the page, you will be able to print and eSign your Privacy Notice from the Credit & Compliance page.

Important: When you upload a Privacy Notice for the first time, the upload will take place immediately. When you upload a new Privacy Notice to replace a previously uploaded Privacy Notice, it will take 24 hours for the updates to occur on the Credit & Compliance page.

To bypass this setting and instead print all contract pages during the Review step, click the checkbox ‘Enable Print all Review Copy pages.’

Once you click the ‘Save Information’ button at the bottom of the page, all pages of future contracts will print during the Review step of the eContracting workflow.

Auto Save Vehicle Information

This section allows you to set the preference to ‘Auto Save’ a vehicle that has been entered on the Credit Application to the Vehicle Valuation Manager.

Information Masking Preferences 

This section allows you to select whether the values for the SSN, Tax ID, and/or Driver's License fields should be fully displayed or masked for your dealership. 

The value you select here will be the default configuration in the RouteOne CAS. 

If masking is chosen, the selected values will be marked as ‘****’ except for the last four digits, upon exit of the field.

Multi-Factor Authentication

This section allows you to view your dealership's status with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and, if preferred, you may opt-out. Opting out means that RouteOne will not activate MFA for your dealership without permission.

 

Preferred Finance Source Selection

This section allows you to choose which finance sources will receive credit applications for a specific transaction and vehicle type (e.g., new vs. used and retail vs. lease).

Once you have selected finance sources in this section, they will receive a copy of all submitted RouteOne credit applications that meet the selected transaction and vehicle type, provided the finance source supports the selected transaction and vehicle type. 

The designated finance source(s) cannot be deselected on credit applications at the time of submission, unless you specify that such finance source is ‘unlocked,’ by setting the lock icon to ‘unlock.’ 

Finance sources will be auto-selected on a credit application in the order they are set up. If more than 6 finance sources meet the criteria on a credit application, only the first 6 finance sources will be auto-selected.

 

Finance Source Associations

This section allows you to choose if finance sources can unilaterally activate an association with your dealership, so they can be selected for credit application submission without your explicit request for the association. Selecting this option will prohibit finance sources from activating your dealership without your explicit consent.  

 

Post-Decision Submission Rules

This section allows you to set rules to automatically resubmit Declined or Conditioned applications to additional finance sources based on your dealership preferences.

 

Third Party Lead Notification

This section allows you to configure which email addresses you would like notified once a new lead or application is imported into RouteOne. 

The notification will only occur for the specific leads or applications you selected for each individual email you added. If an email address is added, it will receive a notification every time a new lead or application is imported from the selected source(s). 

If you would like to stop receiving notifications, either remove the email address, or select 'Not Participating.'

 

Dealer Rate Markup

Setting a rate within the Dealer Rate Markup section allows you to have a specific rate applied to all Dealer Participation Certification Forms.

Any dealer user may revise the rate within the Dealer Participation Certification Form for a specific deal if necessary.

Important: Dealer is solely responsible for all Dealer Markup inputs and assumes the entire responsibility and liability (including, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with applicable laws) for all of its potential losses or damages that may occur through use of the Dealer Participation Certification Form and related functionality. 

 

Default Tax Selections (TRAC/Open-End)

This section provides the ability to set dealership-level defaults for worksheet fields. Users will have the ability to manually adjust these selections when completing the worksheet.
