Automatic addresses for your photos
We saw last week how the QuickPix database in TOTAL makes it simple and easy to find all the photos you’ve taken of a property. But that leaves the question: How does TOTAL know which photos are for which addresses? If you use other formfilling software, if you even have a photos database, you’re probably […]
Find your photos faster
Need to find all the photos you took for a particular property? Don’t waste time creating folders that you’ll need to dig through later just to find what you want.
Merge field data easier with TOTAL for Mobile 2013
Sometimes you forget to sync your desktop report to your iPhone before you go into the field. Or, you might get a Mercury Network order while you’re on one inspection and want to start your field work on the new order right away. Either way, you have to start a new report on your mobile […]
AutoBrowse to your newest photos
Do you import and store your inspection photos separately from TOTAL? Some appraisers do this manually, creating individual folders for each day they took pictures. Some appraisers use software that comes with their camera, like Kodak’s EasyShare software, to do this for them.
TOTAL 2013 goes mobile
We’ve reworked our mobile lineup with a suite of new mobile products: TOTAL for Mobile 2013. All of the data you collect in the field (including voice notes, photos, sketches, and more) on your iPhone, iPad, or Android™ devices flow into your TOTAL 2013 report and your Spectrum Workfile, saving you lots of time since […]
Import Word narrative sections into your reports as addenda
For some of your longer narrative sections, you’re used to writing up your addenda in Microsoft Word, where you include charts and graphs and special formatting. Then you have to copy and paste that text into your addendum in your formfiller and waste a bunch of time checking and reformatting all the data.
Overflow to the additional comments field first
Wouldn’t you rather type your comments directly onto the form, rather than into a pop-up window? Do you find yourself getting tired of copying and pasting from your addendum into the additional comments field on page 3?
Automatically sort your comps
In an earlier tip, we showed you how to manually sort your comps by dragging them into place. But how do you decide which comps go first? The closest in proximity, square footage, sale price, or adjustment percentage? And are you doing all the sorting yourself — manually?
Digital To Do Lists
Do you have a checklist you’ve created to help remind yourself of the important tasks for each appraisal? Use TOTAL’s Notes PowerView to access custom electronic To Do lists from within each report, and check each item off as you complete it. Then before you deliver the report, go back and make sure you’ve checked […]
