Name your Task. Fill out its description if desired. Choose a Due Date (I.e. once the task is created it should be completed within X amount of time = Due Date). 

 


Choose who you want the Task to be assigned to by clicking Assign To. You do not have to assign Tasks to a certain individual if you don’t want to. If it is not assigned to anyone, whomever creates the task it will default to assign to that person.   


 


Once the Tasks are completed, you can then create Task Lists if desiredTasks list can organize your different type of Workflows (I.e. Purchase, Refi, Etc.). To do this, click New under Task Lists. Type in the Name of your Task List and the Description if desired. Now hold the ctrl key and click all of the tasks that pertain to that Task List. Once all are highlighted, drag them to the right hand side under Selected Task Template. Once complete, click Add.  


 


Once the New Task List is created, click save.  


 



Rules: Automation & Workflow  

 

Rules can be created from multiple areas within GreenFolders, such as, Folder Statuses, Folder Priorities/Transaction Types, and lastly Tasks.  


Tasks Rules 

Within the Task section, you can create Rules that will help automate you r workflows.  

  • To create a rule for a Task, click on the Task and then click Edit.  

  • Then click the Rule tab at the top to add a Rule to the specific Task you are Editing.  

  • Click “New Rule” 

  • Next determine when you want this Rule to execute:  

  • Execute when this Task is Completed (most used) 

  • Execute when the Task Status is Changed 

  • Execute when the Task Priority is Changed 

  • Once Chosen - Click OK 

 


Now that you’ve created the Rule, you’ll need to determine the action 

  • Click on the “Actions(0)” 

  • Click New 

  • Determine the Action Type that you want to happen once the Task you are Editing is Completed, Status Changed, or Priority Changed based on what you previously determined above. 

  • Most used are “Create Task” and “Folder Status 

  • Once chosen, click Ok 


 


  • Based on your what you determined above, click the “None” and determine what is executed 

  • If you choice Create Task, choose the Task you want created once the Task you are editing is Completed 

  • If you chose Folder Status, choose the Folder Status you want the Folder to change to when the Task is completed 

  • Once done, click Ok 


 


Once completed, you’ll see that the number next to Actions has changed from 0 to 1 showing you that you have one Rule in relation to the Task you are currently editing. Click Save.  

Repeat this process to create as many Rules as you’d like for Tasks.  


 


Folder Status & Priorities/Transaction Type Rules 

Follow the same steps as above but under the Statuses & Priorities tabs 


Some common uses for Rules in these categories are creating a Rule in relation to the Transaction Type that is chosen to automatically create the Tasks based on the Transaction Type. For Folder Statuses, you can create Rules that assign the Folder to a certain person automatically when it hits a certain Folder Status. 

 


Fields 

This is the area that shows the Fields available within your GreenFolders. Be careful when deleting a Field because it will Delete all the data associated with that Field. One thing you might want to edit in this section is the Quick Search capabilities. Every Field can be searched within the Advanced Search section but within Quick Search we usually only choose a few fields, such as, Property Address, Buyer Name, Seller Name, and file Number/Name.  


We recommend keeping Quick Search to only a few Fields, but you can update this by checking the box next to the Field that you’d like to have the capability to search via the Quick Search. The example below shows that the Field “date and time” is a Field that can be searched for within Quick Search because the box is checked. 


 


System Messages 

This message will show up on each users GreenFolders. You can update this in configuration under GreenFolders -> System Messages. Click on the message that may already be there to Edit it or create a New one. Here is one we recommend:

Licensing 

Update your Licensing whenever your account has been modified to add/remove users. Also access this area to Purchase Folders or setup Automatic Purchases. You can also view your Purchase History & Folder Usage History, as well as, see your status and Users number.  


 



Adding/Updating Groups & Users 


To begin your GreenFolders Configuration, sign into GreenFolders. Navigate to the top left and click the GF icon. Click Configuration. 

 


Once in Configuration, you will see a list on the left hand side. Navigate to locate Greenfolders at the top left. You'll then see Users and Groups underneath. 


 

Note: create your groups and update the Security Privileges within the Groups tab and then add your Users to Group so they automatically get the Privileges that the Group has. This will save you time so that you don’t have to continually update individual Users Privileges at a one-off bases and can instead just make them a member of a group.

How to create a New Group: 
  • Click Groups 
  • Click New 

  • Name your New Group  
  • Click "Can Group be Assigned items" if it isn’t already checked. If you do not want folders, task, etc. to be allowed to be assigned to the group then leave it unchecked. 
  • Click Security Privileges at the top to update the Privileges you’d like the Members of this Group to have
  • Now add your Users to the Group by clicking Members tab at the top 

  • Click Add and click on each user you’d like to add. Hold the ctrl button to choose multiple at a time. 
  • Once done, click OK, then click create/save 

How to add New Users:  
  • Click on Users under GreenFolders within Configuration 
  • Click New

  • Add Username, Password, Display Name, & Email 
  • Check the box next to “ password never expires” - Do this so your users do not have to continually update their password 
  • Once done, click “Member Of” tab at the top 

  • Add the New User to a Group to give the New User the Security Privileges that are set for that Group 
  • Click create/save
