One deal, all of it on one page: its details at the top, the people on it, its documents, its checklists, and its notes, with a left menu for the things you do to the whole file.
Introduction
Open a transaction and the page is the file. The Info sections at the top hold the dates and prices, then the agents, the checklists and tasks, the contacts, the docs, and the notes and sent emails, each showing what your role gives you access to.
Reading is the page; changing is a deliberate move. The details you read are not the details you type into, which is why Edit Transaction is a link in the left menu rather than a click into a field.
The Info Sections at the Top
Read and Update the Deal
Dates, prices, status, agents. Edit Transaction in the left menu is where any of them changes, and a field your office has locked shows but does not take an edit.
See and update the information that makes up a transaction — its dates, prices, agents, docs, and more.
The Dates the Deal Runs On
Listing, expiration, acceptance and close. Reports, reminders and task deadlines read them, so moving one here moves everything counting from it.
Enter a deal's listing, expiration, acceptance and close dates, and Pipeline counts deadlines and builds reports from them.
The Name at the Top
How everyone recognizes the deal in a list, set to your office's convention. Buying agents can be allowed to rename their own.
A transaction's name is how you'll recognize it at a glance — set it to match your office's convention.
The Numbers That Tell It Apart
The MLS or transaction number is what search finds when two deals share an address.
Every transaction carries identifying numbers that tell it apart from every other one in your account.
See Transaction ID
Which Side You Are On
Pipeline reads the side from the agents assigned. There is no field to set, and the letter beside the name on your list is the tell.
Pipeline figures out whether you're on the listing side, the buying side, or both — automatically.
Notes and Sent Emails
Leave a Record on the Deal
A note stays on the transaction beside the emails sent from it, so what was said about the deal lives with the deal.
Leave a note on a transaction to document a detail or keep the team on the same page.
The Left Menu
A Second Offer on the Same Listing
New Offer opens a separate, linked transaction carrying the listing paperwork over. Use it for second and later offers, never the first.
Restart a deal or take the next offer as a new transaction, linked to the one before it.
See New Offers
Start a New Deal From This One
Reuse this transaction as the starting point for the next one that looks like it, choosing what copies over.
Reuse an existing transaction as the starting point for a new one.
Everything That Happened to It
Every change on the transaction is recorded. Search the history by action, person, or date when someone asks who did what.
Pipeline records every change on a transaction — search that history by action, person, or date.

Agents
Who Is on the Deal
Each in-house agent sits on the listing side or the buying side. That is what opens the file to them and credits the deal to them.
Put the right agents on each side of a transaction so Pipeline credits the deal correctly and everyone can open the file and work it.
See Assign Agents
Someone Helping Without Credit
Tag a user as an assistant and they can work the file without taking sales credit or commission.

The Other Brokerage's Agent
Recorded for reference only, with no access to your transaction.

Docs
The List of Documents
Every doc on the deal, grouped under its permission category, sorted the way you work. Pipeline remembers your sort on every transaction after that.
Every doc on a transaction lives in one list. Sort it the way you work, and Pipeline remembers your choice on every transaction after that.
Email Docs and Notes In
Your own address for this deal sits under its name. Messages sent there stay on the file, and their docs wait in Unassigned, already pointed at it.
Send or forward a message to the transaction it belongs to. Pipeline keeps the message on the file and sends its docs to Unassigned, already pointed at that transaction.

Two clicks rotate a doc and the corrected version is saved for everyone.

Combine Several Into One
Merge PDFs into one document named the way your office names things, right here on the deal.

See Doc Merge
Split a Scanned Stack
One scan holding several documents becomes separate named docs, or the pages you need for a send.
One scanned stack, many documents. Break a doc apart to split it into separate docs, pull out the pages you need, and name each one as you go.
See Doc Break Apart
Say Something on a Doc
A comment travels with the document, reaches the agent, and stays in the history.
Leave a note right on a doc and it travels with the document — your team sees it, the agent hears about it, and Transaction History keeps the record.
See Doc Comments
Checklists and Tasks
Add a Checklist by Hand
For the deal that matched no rule. The plus at the top of the Checklists area is where you pick the template.

The Checklists Area Itself
Where a transaction's checklists live: expand them, reorder them, and set how they display.

Who Can See What
Who Can Open the Transaction
Being on the transaction, or having view-all for its location. Those are the two routes, and a file you are not on does not appear at all.
Access decides who can open a transaction and see what's inside it — and in Pipeline, that comes down to who's on the transaction and who can view everything in its location.
What Someone Can Do to It
Create it, edit its fields, change its status, delete it: granted per user, per location.
Permissions decide what someone can do to a transaction: create it, edit its fields, change its status, or delete it. You set them per user, per location.
Who Can See a Document
Access to the transaction comes first, then the permission category on the doc decides. Filed under Buyer, the listing agent cannot open it.
Two things decide who can see a document: whether the person can get to the transaction it lives on, and which permission category the doc was filed under.
See Document Access
What Someone Can Do With Documents
Upload, assign, review, delete: separate permissions, each granted per location.
Permissions decide what a user can do with documents: upload them, assign them, review them, delete them — and the category set on each doc decides who can see it.
