An Introduction to the DDI Wiki

Using the DDI Wiki

Welcome to the DDI Documentation Wiki! Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive, searchable self help site. The pages on this site are constantly being updated and added to as new features and functionality are added to our products.

Using the Search

In the upper right corner of each Wiki, you will see the Search bar:

To search, use as many key words as possible. For example, if you are looking for information on how to perform a refund on a loan, you might type "loan refund". You would then see the following results:

To review a document, click the link. If it's not the right one, clicking the Back button on your browser will take you back to the search results.

You can also search for the document related to a particular screen within DDI Connect. For example, let's say that you wish to see documentation regarding the Loan Principal/Interest Estimation report. If you look at the top left corner of the report parameters screen, it shows you the program name for the report - in this case, IL437:

If you type IL437 in the search bar on the Wiki and hit enter or click Search, the Wiki will route you to the appropriate document:

You can do the same with DDI Connect screens. In the lower left corner of each screen, you will see that screen's program name:

If you type the program name in the search bar of the Wiki, it re-directs you to the appropriate document:
