We want to remind you that implementation of the new version of our CPL system, CPL 3.0, will begin this Friday evening, February 8th.  

Please note that while the implementation process is underway (February 8th at 10 pm through Saturday, February 9th at 2 pm), the CPL and Agent Verification systems will be unavailable for use.

In addition to the CPL 3.0 - What's New and CPL 3.0 - Quick Guide documents we previously sent, we now have a helpful training video available for viewing on the home page of the StarsLink PLEASE NOTE:  It will take a few minutes for the video to load and once completed, is ready to view (20 minutes in length).

CORRRECTION (from previous e-blast) – the ‘Update’ feature of the new CPL system WILL be available with this new release.

CPL 3.0 Implementation

Once the new CPL 3.0 system implementation is complete, all of the existing CPL letter data and lookup lists for Agent Contacts, Lenders, Branch Offices and Closing Attorneys will still be available and accessible in the new system.

However, our IT department must complete some minimal data conversion and cleanup efforts in order for the new CPL 3.0 features to function properly.   The data conversion and cleanup process will include setting a Status to all existing letters in order to utilize the Update, Cancel and Close features and removing any text from phone numbers and fax numbers due to formatting validations in the system.  The specifics of this process are as follows:

All existing CPLs generated prior to January 1, 2013 will receive a “Closed” status and all existing CPLs generated January 1, 2013 or after will receive an “Active” status.

The impact of this will be the ability for any existing letters in the CPL system that are in an “Active” status to be modified using the new Update features of CPL 3.0.  Those existing letters in a “Closed” status will not be updateable and will need to have a new CPL generated if modifications are required.  By closing all CPLs prior to 1/1/13, this will give us a clean cutoff for future fees reporting capabilities that will be added into the CPL system in an upcoming release.

Phone numbers and fax numbers in the new CPL 3.0 will NOT allow TEXT to be entered into the field.  Existing phone and fax numbers will be automatically cleaned up to remove any text located in these two data fields during the CPL 3.0 implementation.


The impact of this will be any older phone numbers or fax numbers included in the lookup lists for Agent Contacts, Lenders, Branch Offices, and Closing Attorneys that have additional text included in the field will be modified to remove the text and only contain numbers.  The current CPL system already validates phone and fax numbers and requires the correct format, so the cleanup effort should affect mostly older data that has not been recently used in the CPL system.  

Thank you, again, for your patience during the implementation of the new CPL 3.0 Version system.  If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact Jennifer Pilla or Linda Webber at 800-722-0784 or 302-734-3570 or jpilla@oldrepublictitle.com or lwebber@oldrepublictitle.com
