TOTAL 2013 – September 10, 2013

This update includes a host of performance and stability improvements you'll appreciate. That's been our focus for the last few months. As a result, TOTAL has become noticeably faster and more stable.

Appraisers who are new to our TOTAL platform will appreciate this update in particular because it includes our all-new converters. Use them to convert your old comps databases from SFREP, ClickFORMS, and ACI so they'll show up in TOTAL as if they were built there in the first place. Former ACI users can convert their old photo database too.

Here are a few of the other items you'll see in tomorrow's update (See the full release notes here):

• You'll be able to exclude the invoice, photos, and/or workfile when sending reports via e-mail.
• In the MLS Text File Importer, a new "Apply to All" button has been added, allowing you to instantly designate all properties as a sale, listing, or rental before importing them into TOTAL.
• You can access the MLS Text File Importer from the Side-by-Side toolbar.
• There's a myriad of tweaks in TOTAL Sketch — corners will blink when the cursor is aligned with them, pen input will work with Windows 8, landscape orientation printing, and much more.
• You'll now be prompted to place comparables you've removed in your workfile.

As always, thanks for giving us your thoughts via the Feedback feature inside TOTAL. Several of these changes came directly from the Feedback option, which obviously is the whole point. We read them every day and we can track them much better than standard e-mails. Please keep them coming and we'll keep making TOTAL better.

That's all for now, but expect another update very soon.
