Time-Based Alerts

Overview

Time-based alerts will provide real-time tracking of loan progress and upcoming deadlines, helping teams stay on top of critical timelines. These alerts can be customized per stage or substage, allowing for proactive management of loan files.


Alert Types

Users can configure alerts based on two tracking methods:

  1. Time Since Last Progression

    • Measures the time elapsed since a loan moved to a new stage or substage.

    • Helps track loan files that may be stagnating in a stage.

  2. Time Remaining Until Closing

    • Counts down the days until the scheduled closing date.

    • Ensures that loans stay on track and deadlines are met.


Alert Flags

  • Alerts can be set at both the Stage and Substage levels to provide targeted tracking.

  • For each alert, you can define:

    • Attention Status – A warning threshold based on hours or days.

    • Critical Status – A high-priority flag when a loan is at risk of missing a deadline.

  • These alerts will add visual indicators to both the Pipeline Dashboard and the loan file.

  1. Click your logo/company name in the top-left corner

  2. Select Company Settings
