Setting up branch-level FHA Lender IDs

Branch level FHA lender IDs can be configured via the Setup panel and via a user's profile in Blend.

Note: For branch-level FHA Lender ID configuration, we recommend keeping the Global FHA Lender ID configurations. This ensures that users who do not have a branch-level FHA Lender ID will still be able to run AUS in Blend using the global credentials.
