Workflow
Workflow is completely customizable for each broker. LoanCatcher℠ offers a drag & drop editor allowing each broker to update their workflow tasks or create an entirely new custom workflow plan that suits their business.
During the LoanCatcher℠ on-boarding process, an entity selects the Workflow template to use. However, this can be changed by any user assigned a Workflow Manager role by the system administrator.
Review the Workflow Introduction and other related Workflow videos in the Resources & Videos section for additional information.
Select Workflow from the left-hand quick navigation menu. This can be done from the Pipeline view or within a specific loan.
Workflow is an evolving task list providing the current state of each file, including completed and uncompleted tasks.
The Workflow section is only visible to users with Workflow Administrator permissions. It shows the active workflow template and allows updates to the workflow template.
Select VIEW REQUIREMENT THREADS to view and manage all the requirements that are linked in a single group. Currently, there are 3 groups - Lead, Title, Appraisal.

Pie charts show a breakdown of all requirements by Status and User. Additionally, the pie charts function as filters. Select a slice or multiple slices to filter the results . Hovering over a slice to see the total number in that category.
The right side requirement list updates simultaneously with the pie chart selections.
The CLEAR FILTERS button removes all filters so that all requirements are listed on the Workflow page.
Users Pie Chart
The Users pie chart itemizes tasks by the assigned person and includes an unassigned category. Workflow tasks designated as unassigned can be claimed by or assigned to any person with a loan specific role.
