**Checklist Item Types**
#### **Form**
* A digitized form that must be completed (e.g., Listing Agreement, Disclosure).
* Can be marked **Required** or **Optional**.
* Can be routed to specific **Inboxes** for admin review.
* Best for contracts and compliance documents.
#### **Generic Task**
* A folder for agents or admins to upload documents to.
* Does not require file upload, but possible.
* Best for action items that help keep the transaction moving forward.
#### **Splitter**
* A section divider that visually separates checklist items.
* Helps organize longer checklists into logical phases (e.g., “Pre-Listing,” “Under Contract,” “Closing”).
* No action or upload required, purely organizational.
#### **General Comments**
* Behaves similarly to Generic Tasks.
* Appears in the checklist but doesn’t require action.

**Examples:** Listing Agreement, Seller’s Disclosure, Inspection Report(s).
