Read this section properly. A lien waiver is a legal release of the right to file a mechanic's lien. Getting one signed is how you prove a payment released that right; signing one yourself gives that right away.
What it is for. Issue waivers to your subcontractors, email them a link to sign, and keep the signed copy on file.
What you see. Cards for total, pending, signed and the value covered, filtered by job. Then the waivers themselves with the party, job, amount, type and status.
The four types, and they are not interchangeable:
| Type | What it releases |
|---|---|
| Conditional Partial | Rights up to an amount, but only once that payment actually clears |
| Unconditional Partial | Rights up to an amount, immediately — regardless of whether payment clears |
| Conditional Final | All remaining rights, once final payment clears |
| Unconditional Final | All remaining rights, immediately |
Unconditional waivers are signed before the money is confirmed. That is the whole difference, and it is the reason to read which one you are sending or being asked to sign.
How signing works. The subcontractor gets a link, opens it without logging in, and signs. The signed copy is stored against the waiver.
What it connects to. Jobs, Subcontractors, Contractor Payments and Sworn Statements.
