Ventures gives you the ability to create your own internal checklists for checks & balances against any process.  Task Lists may be created to assign multiple tasks at once.  Create your own "virtual" checklists for:

 

• Different loan programs;
• Stages of the process; and/or
• Internal Audit checklists

 

All Task List checklists are created by the Site Administrator and are available in the Loan Menu for use by staff.  [Note: Task Lists were designed to be used only 1 time within a loan.  The user could create multiple task lists  based on the specific list needed (i.e. Corporations, LLC, Partnership etc...]

 

To create a Task List the Site Administrator should access Administration > Task Lists 

• Click the green Add button to add a new Task List
• Name your Task List (i.e. Closing Checklist - Required field)
• Description: give your task list a description (optional)
• Loan Phase: what loan phase would you like this task list to appear in - optional field
• Click Save to add your Task List

 

 

Adding checklist items:

• Select the Task List you have added by clicking on the hyperlinked Name

 

 

 

• Click on Add to add a new checklist item to your Task List:
  • Task (required field): Name your Task / checklist item - i.e. Signed Authorization 
  • Details: details/comments regarding your Task checklist item
  • Type (required field) : Select a Type from your pre-existing list (Note: This drop-down can also be customized by your Site Admin.  The customization is done by accessing Administration > Reference > Loan > Note/Task Types).
  • Sort Order:  This provides the ability to assign the order of how it will appear in the Task listing.  This number does not get adjusted should you wish to insert a newer task at a later time.  You would need to manually alter the sort order.  You can leave it at 0 if the order does not matter.
  • Task Due In Days: Provides the ability to specify the number of days that should be added to the date once it is assigned to the loan.
  • Assigned To: The drop-down for this field has role types assigned to it.  Depending on the entries you have in your Partner Contact menu for a loan, the task would be automatically assigned to the individual occupying that role.  This field can be left as - Not Set - if you're not sure who would be working on the task.
  • Each task item / checklist item will have it's own setting to apply (Example: if you have 10 items to add to the task list you will need to Add 10 records each individually)
  • After you have added your task/checklist item click Save.

 

 

After adding all of your tasks to your Task List, your view should look something like below:
