Using Statuses and Filters

(keep your home page tidy)


To keep your loops organized you will want to establish the loop’s type and status. Then you can apply filters to your home page.

 

  1. On your loops home page you will see ‘Type’ on each loop. Click on ‘None’ to establish loop type
  2. Once your loop has a type you can set that status


Setting filters on your home page will only allow you to see loops that have the status you checked off. We recommend checking off all statuses except for sold, leased and archived.

  4. Forward the email and instead of typing out an email address to forward it to you will paste the email address that was copied to the clipboard. Click send.

Hot Keys

(place initials quickly by copying and pasting)

 

  1. Open up the document that you need to add fields to
  2. Toward the top right click on ‘Add’ then ‘Add Initials’ (or signature, text, anything!)
  3. Assign the initials to the correct person, resize if necessary
  4. Now we need to select the field(s). If it’s just one field you will just click on that field. If you have multiple fields then hold down the shift key while clicking on the fields
  5. To copy use COMMAND+SHIFT+C (Mac) or CTRL+SHIFT+C (PC)
  6. Navigate to the next page or place you need the initials and use COMMAND+SHIFT+V (Mac) or CTRL+SHIFT+V (PC). The field(s) will be following your mouse around until you click and place them

Splitting Documents

(less time at the scanner)

(did the agent view my offer?)

Host in Person Signing

(instead of email)

 

  1. Open the document and click on ‘More’ and choose ‘Host in Person Signing’
  2. Choose who you want to sign the document(s)
  3. Hand the device over to the client. They will now sign the document
  4. Once signed you will need to sign back into your account to view the document


Best practice is to open multiple documents (if necessary) and then begin the Host in Person Signing process. You client will received a signed version of the document via email.

Make a Copy

 

  1. Open the loop, scroll down to your documents, choose the document you need to copy and click the three dots to the right. Click on ‘Make a Copy’
  2. Choose ‘Copy as Flat PDF’ then ‘To Loop’
  3. Don’t forget to use the search bar to find the loop you would like to copy the document into. Once you find the loop you can decide which folder needs to have the copy


Making a copy allows you to copy documents between loops and folders. By copying as a flat PDF you can make changes to a signed document without clearing all signatures and initials.
