Deal Requirements / Checklist

Loft offers a Requirements checklist, which is a place where you can add document or action (workflow) requirements to deals for easier compliance tracking. Please note that Loft is not a compliance automation solution, so if agents are missing documents, you should manually message them through the deal comments.

Listing Requirements

The Listing requirement page is to set up requirements specifically for Listings created in the Listing Modal, these requirements will not show up in Deals and vice versa.



What Happens When a Requirement Template is Archived?
1. Archiving does not delete the template or affect historical data.
2. Once a requirement template is archived, it will no longer appear when adding requirements to New Deals or existing pending deals (if the requirement was not previously added)
3. Agents and admins will not be able to select it. 

If a requirement template has already been used in a deal (whether pending or closed):
1. The requirement will remain in that deal
2. The requirement status remains unchanged.
3. No data is removed
4. No historical records are affected
This ensures audit consistency and reporting accurancy.

How to Archive a Requirement Template?
1. Go to Broker Requirement Templates
2. Select the template
3. Click red Archive Template button
4. The system will return to the previous page

Overall, Archiving a Requirement Template helps keep your system organized by removing outdated, system clutter, duplicated requirements or requirements are no long part of your brokerage workflow from active selection. 
Also, Archiving is reversible (if your permissions allow unarchiving) and it does not impact closed deal records.
