Using Data Snapshots

Use curated data for predictable results.

When using our Nexus widget, requests made in our Sandbox environment return some form of dummy data. It is likely that there will be times it will be beneficial to have the dummy data set up with specific types of Debts to explore, develop, and test against specific scenarios. Using a snapshot is not required.

Using the Snapshots

In order to use the snapshots, simply choose a supported scenario and enter the special date of birth and zip code into the fields on the Find your loans screen. This will force the desired scenario.


📘

💡 Please Note: Although using the same date of birth and zip code each time will return the same Debt data, you may also need to use specific values when answering questions throughout the workflow to arrive at your desired result.
