Generate documents and manage Ownership Transactions by using Share Transactions Tasks.
The Share Transactions Task has four primary functions:
-
Generate documents to support Ownership Transaction records. For example, Directors Resolutions, Stock Certificates, Subscription Agreements, etc.
-
Include Transactions across different Classes (generate documents, update dates, etc.)
-
Mass update transaction statuses and dates for all selected Transactions at once
-
Record and track details related to the Transaction (notes, due dates, assignee, etc.)
To use some, or all, of the functions mentioned above, follow these steps to create a Task for Share Transactions:
- Navigate to the Entity record
- Navigate to the Tasks section and select + New to create a new Task
- In the Memo Description field, type the title of the Task
- In the Type field, select Share Transactions from the dropdown list
- Update the Status of the Task is updated accordingly by clicking the drop-down status list in the top-right corner:
- If the Task is not actively being worked on, leave the status as New (default status)
- If the Task is actively being worked on, set the status to Pending
- Click Create to create the Task
- Navigate to the 2. Share Transactions tab
- Enter the Transaction Date (required) and Resolution Date (where applicable)
- At the bottom of the tab, select the + Securities button to pull up a list of all of the Transactions and Certificates for that Entity
- Navigate through the Transactions and Certificates tabs
- Select the Checkbox for the Transactions and Certificates to be managed or documents generated in the Task
- Click Add to populate the Task with specific Transactions or Certificates
Note: Instead of clicking the + Securities button and selecting specific Transactions, it is also possible to click on the + Select all data button, which will add all Ownership Transactions and Certificates to the Task. (This is particularly useful for a new Entity Formation that doesn't have a lot of history entered yet.) - Click Save to save the Task with the additional data
- If documents will be generated, navigate to the 3. Supporting Documents tab
- Click + Supporting Documents
- Select the Checkbox for the desired template(s) that need to be generated for the selected Transactions or Certificates
- Click on Add to include them on the Task
- Click Generate Documents to generate the supporting documents
- A blue message will appear in the bottom left confirming "Generating documents - You'll be notified when it's completed" and the Task will be saved again automatically
- Once the documents have been generated, a green message will appear in the bottom left stating "Documents successfully generated" and the Task will be saved again automatically
- Documents can be viewed in two ways:
- From the Task: Click on 4. Generated Documents to view the documents
- From the Entity: Close the Task, and navigate to the Documents section of the Entity
- When the Task is completed, click on the status of the task in the top right corner and select Completed from the dropdown list
- This change will trigger a pop-up window that will allow you to make updates to the Entity record, select the appropriate options for this Task:
- Selected Transactions
- Update transaction date
- Update resolution date
- Set Pending transactions to confirmed
- Selected Certificates
- Update issuance date
- Update cancellation date
- Set pending certificates to issued
- Selected Transactions
- Click Confirm to make the updates selected and save the Task status as Completed
Note: Once a Task has been set to Completed, it is possible to "un-complete" a Task and return it to a Pending status. This allows you to reopen a Task make changes to the Task-specific data on the second tab and/or generate additional documents.
