"Accept All" and "Ignore All" Options for Deal Requirements
This option allows admins to efficiently manage deal requirements without reviewing each item individually when detailed compliance tracking is not required.

  • Accept All: Marks all requirements as accepted at once.
  • Ignore All: Allows admins to dismiss requirements without marking them as completed and all requirements will be showed as Not Applicable
Benefit: Improves efficiency while maintaining manual review options and accurate audit tracking.

Additional - Full Audit Trail Tracking

Loft47 automatically records all actions taken on requirements and documents across deals and listings, providing a complete history of activity.

In Deal History, users can track:

  • Who made changes
  • What was updated
  • When the activity occurred
  • The complete history of requirement and document updates

This provides greater transparency, accountability, and compliance throughout the transaction lifecycle.


Requirement Logs

Each requirement includes an activity log that captures all actions related to the requirement and its documents.

Users can quickly review:

  • Requirement status changes
  • Document updates
  • User actions and timestamps

Shown as below:


Users can copy a shareable requirement summary link directly from a deal's Requirements page to easily share requirement status and outstanding items with authorized participants.

  • Quick access to requirement status
  • Easier collaboration with agents and admins
  • Reduced manual follow-up

Listing Requirements

  • The Listing Requirements page provides similar functionality to Deal Requirements, allowing users to set up requirements specifically for listings created through the Listing Modal.
  • Listing requirements are separate from deal requirements and are managed independently.
  • Requirements created for listings will only appear on listings and will not display on deals, and deal requirements will not appear on listings.
  • 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.
