Add a Checklist Template

To add a checklist template:

Click your name in the upper right corner then [Admin / Settings].
Select [Checklists] from the left menu.
Choose [Add Template].
Select a location, give the checklist a title, then add tasks. You can include as many individual tasks as you'd like on a template and add more tasks by choosing [+ Add more tasks].
Click [Save Template].

You can add URL links to tasks. Links added to tasks are clickable and will open in a new window.

Add Relative Due Dates

Relative due dates allow you to set tasks to be due based on important dates related to a transaction. For example, you may have a task which needs to be due 5 days before closing date. For maximum time-saving, relative due dates should be defined at the checklist template level whenever possible, but they can also be changed directly on transactions. Changes made directly on transactions do not impact checklist templates.

You can define relative due dates based on these transaction dates:

Acceptance Date
Close Date
Listing Date
Transaction Creation
Expiration Date
Checklist Addition

Additionally, if you have any of the following optional date fields enabled, you can use them as relative due dates:

Inspection Due Date
Inspection Date
Loan Approval Due Date
Loan Approval Date
Appraisal Due Date
Appraisal Date
Option Period End Date
Earnest Money Due Date
Earnest Money Deposit Date

To add a relative due date rule:

Click the calendar icon to the right of the task.
Next to Due, enter the number of days for the date rule.
From the days menu, choose Business Days, Calendar Days, or Calendar Days (due Business Days) to set what days should be used to calculate the number of days from the trigger date.
• Business Days leaves out Saturdays, Sundays, and your company's Business Holidays to calculate due dates.
• Calendar Days uses plain calendar days to calculate due dates.
• Calendar Days (due Business Days) calculates due dates by calendar days, but bumps the due date to the next business day if it falls on Saturday, Sunday, or your company's Business Holidays.
Choose Before, After, or On based on when the task is due relative to the transaction date.
Choose the transaction date to base your rule on.
Click [Set Date Rule].
Click [Save Template]. These date rules will be applied every time the checklist is added to a transaction in the future.

Remove due date: Remove a due date by clicking the calendar icon and selecting [Remove Date Rule].

Select [Checklists] from the left menu.
Click the [Gear] and select "Copy Template". From here, you can update or change any info as you would when creating a checklist template.
