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 add a relative due date.
Select a trigger date and time frame relative to that date then 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.

Edit a Checklist Template

Once you've added a template to a transaction, any edits made on that specific checklist are not applied back to the template.

To edit a checklist template:

Click the gear and choose [Edit Template].

Here are a few things you can do:

Reorder tasks: To reorder tasks, hover to the right of the task until a hand appears. Click, drag, and drop the task to the appropriate place on the list.
Change due date: Change a task's due date by clicking the calendar icon.
Remove due date: Remove a due date by clicking the calendar icon and selecting [Remove Date Rule].

Delete a Checklist Template

You can delete an unwanted checklist template by:

Clicking the gear and choose "Delete". Deleted checklist templates will not be removed from transactions.

Click your name in the upper right corner then "Admin / Settings".
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.
