The Conversation Log plugin is designed to ensure that users add conversation log entries or notes to a loan whenever changes are made. This tool enhances clarity in the loan process by centralizing user comments and improving workflow transparency. It includes configurable settings to control visibility of the popup and determine what information is stored for reporting. Additionally, it helps monitor the types of changes users make on loans.

Benefits

The Conversation Log popup appears when a user with a ConvLog Profile attempts to Save and Close a loan. Users are prompted to log a comment about their work. Profiles can require specific fields, restrict closing the loan without a log entry, and show change summaries. This ensures consistent documentation and improves loan transparency.
