    1. In the Frequency dropdown, select how often you want lien waivers generated. You can select Yearly, Monthly, Weekly or Daily.

    2. Enter recurrence date, day or time information. These options vary based on the option selected in the Frequency dropdown.

    3. Default the Due Date based on the Through Date: Enter the number of days to add to the calculated through date as the default due date in the Value field.

      Tip

      For example, if the Default Due Date value is 20, then the due date occurs 20 days after the through date.

      Note

      Through Date represents the end of the work billing period, and the waiver should cover all work performed since the previous waiver and through date. Due Date is the deadline for the vendor to sign the waiver or be considered out of compliance.

    4. Generate Conditional Progress Waivers: Select this check box if you want to create conditional progress lien waiver records as part of the automated lien waiver generation process.

    5. Generate Unconditional Progress Waivers: Select this check box if you want to create unconditional progress lien waiver records as part of the automated lien waiver generation process.

    6. Previous Month: Select this check box to specify that lien waivers scheduled to generate early in the month that have a through date near the end of the month should generate for the previous (not current) month.

    7. Stop on Final Received: Select this check box to stop the automatic generation of lien waivers once the unconditional final lien waiver is received.

      Tip

      It is recommended that this option is selected.

    8. Click Continue to exit the Generate Automatic Waivers Configuration dialog.

  6. Enter the job-specific name to be used in the waiver form templates in the Contract For field.

  7. Enter the job-specific description to be used in the waiver form templates in the Legal Description field.

  10. Select which form types are tracked for this job in the Form Types fields.

    Note

    These settings can be overridden at the vendor level.

  11. For each of the form types you selected, select either Month End or Day of the Month. If you select Day of the Month, you need to also enter the numeric date value.

    Note

    Through Date represents the end of the work billing period.
