Overview
This demonstrates how to schedule signings and view the signings schedule for themselves and their preferred closing offices.
Enable the Office Option
Admin/General Setup/Offices/Edit Office/Miscellaneous
- Check the option for Signings: Enable Signing Calendar
Enable the Internal User Roles
Admin/Internal Users
- Edit a user.
- Assign the appropriate role(s) to the user.
- The user role for Tabs: View: Signings will allow the user to view the calendar.
- The user role for Tabs: Edit: Signings will allow the user to edit the calendar.
Add Internal Users as Notary Partners
Admin/Partners
To be assigned to signings, users will need to be linked to the signings as notaries. It’s recommended that each user who may perform a signing be added as a notary.
NOTE: If the office option for Signings: Notary: Include All Partner Types When Selecting Notary is enabled, the Notary selection field on Signings isn’t limited to only partners whose type is Notary. If this option is enabled, users can be any partner type.
- Click Add.
- Enter the user’s name as the Company Name.
- Click Add in the Partner Types area to select a partner type for this new partner.
Add Calendar Partner(s) and Preferred Closing Office(s) to Users
Admin/Internal Users
- Edit an internal user
- Click Preferred Closing Offices and Add closing offices.
- These are the preferred closing offices for this user. They will be displayed above a dashed line when scheduling a closing and be available in a drop-down on the calendar. If a preferred closing office is selected, the user will be able to see all the signings scheduled for that office.
- Click Calendar Partners and Add partners.
- Multiple partners can be selected. The selected partner(s) will be used to determine whose signings can be seen on the calendar by the internal user.
- If Only if Signing Notary is selected, the internal user will only be able to see signings that have this partner assigned as the notary. If it’s not selected, the internal user will be able to see signings that have this partner on the file, regardless of whether the selected partner is the notary or not.
- Utilizing this option will allow a user to see the signing on their calendar without being the notary on the signing.
- When both the Preferred Closing Offices and Calendar Partners are set, click Save.
Add Custom Internal User Fields
Admin/General Setup/Offices/Edit Office/Miscellaneous
- Check the option(s) for Signings: Display Custom Internal User Field 1, Signings: Display Custom Internal User Field 2, Signings: Display Custom Internal User Field 3
