Master Issues List
The Masters Issues List is for adding any action items or issues with the transaction.
How to create an issue
There are two ways to add issues:
- Manual entry
- Title search matching
Manual Entry
The issues are divided into categories. Click on the applicable category, such as Mortgages (Discharge/Assumed/Remaining/Postpone).
A new window will appear with specific issues related to the selected category. Click on the appropriate issue name, and the Issues WorkBench screen will open. This tool assists with creating your documents, such as inquiry letters and undertakings. The Issues WorkBench brings in data from elsewhere in the file (or Title Search) and provides text for your reports, closing checklist, etc., for the particular issue.
You can edit the default text and add your own by right-clicking the clause you want to save and selecting Save current text as new clause in the clause list.
Each issue works in a similar manner.
Title Search Matching using Teranet Connect™
Alternatively, you can use the matching feature on the
Title Search screen after you have completed the initial title search to match the instrument to the closes item in the
Issues List. Refer to
this article on how to title search directly from a RealtiWeb file.
If you return to the Issues screen, you will see the created issue. The name of the issue will use the type of issue, instrument number (from Teranet Connect), and the registered date.
Carrying out actions from the Action List
The Action List changes dynamically based on the specific actions to be carried out for a given issue. There are 9 possible items:
- Letter Inquiry
- Requisition
- Checklist
- Reporting Letter
- Undertaking
- Adjust/Payout
|
- Calendar
- Similar Name (when applicable)
|
The majority of items listed in the Action List have a corresponding document. Clicking on an item in the Action List will change which clause you are editing.
Clauses
Each clause consists of the description and action clause.
The data fields in the text will be completed if the data has been entered through RealtiWeb or from the title search import. You may overwrite the text if needed. If manually entering an issue, the issue may have additional fields to be completed.
If you right-click on the clause, you will see the various editing options for the text. This is what the various options do:
|
Cut
|
The text is removed from the clause and able to be pasted elsewhere.
|
|
Copy
|
This copies the text to your computer’s clipboard.
|
|
Paste

This pastes the text on your computer’s clipboard to the clause with no formatting.
|
|
Paste with Format
|
This pastes the text on your computer’s clipboard with formatting.

Insert Defect Field

A popup window will appear with a list of possible fields. These fields will pull data previously entered into the file in the clause. When the field is updated, the clause will also be updated.

The Adjust/Payout item will let you determine how to include the adjustment (or payout) in the Statement of Adjustments or Trust Statement. There may be additional fields to be completed. The Calendar item allows you to add a reminder to your RealtiWeb Calendar.
