You can define a corporate standard for sending Document Requests and Reminders using an Admin pre-defined structure
The purpose of Sending Schedules and Reminders are to set a Standard Expiration Date and a Reminder Schedule for your Sent Checklists and Packages associated with your Checklist, to ensure that all Deals have the correct number of reminders, and expire based on your corporate policy.
A Schedule is a combination of Reminders and Expirations.
To start, think about:
What is the default expiration of this request type?
- How many days will this request remain open for after I send it?
How often do I want Reminders to go out?
- Be careful not to spam your borrowers and send too many reminders!
- To set up a Schedule, go to Administration > Checklist Setup > Schedules > Sent Checklists.
- Click the Blue button on the top right of the screen that says "Create new Sent Checklist Reminder"
- Name your Reminder, give it an optional description.
- On this screen, you can also set the default expiration for checklists. If you want checklists to expire 30 days after sending, set that on this screen.
- Click SAVE.
- Now, a tab will appear in the top left that says "Reminders." Click the blue button on the top right that says "Create New Sent Checklist Schedule Reminder."
- Configure when you would like a reminder for this schedule to go out. You can set these reminders based on the date sent or the expiration date.
- You also have the option to show all the DocTitles in a checklist on the reminder, or auto-filter that view of DocTitles to only Open items that still need action.
- You can set a Reminder to Default or not. You may want more than one Reminder schedule, but one set to Default for most Checklists you send.
- You can also include an optional description.
- You can add more than one reminder, but be careful to not set too many and over-email your recipients!
Repeat the steps above for Sent Packages by going to Administration > Checklist Setup > Schedules > Sent Packages.
To test your new Schedule, go to a Checklist and Send. On the screen that pops up, you should now see your new Checklist Reminder Schedule. I set this one to Default so it auto-populated in the Field, but I could select a different schedule if I wanted to, as is indicated in the screenshot below.
