For security purposes and to prevent pirating of your data, WinTOTAL limits its XML export to files that were created with your same customer number.  The message that appears when you try reads, “The report could not be converted because it was created with a copy of WinTOTAL not registered to you.”

If you want to export XML from a file created on another appraiser's computer, you must first receive an "authorization" from that appraiser in the form of an "authorization file".  This document shows how the authorization is created and installed.

WinTOTAL currently supports one (1) additional authorization.  If you need to authorize files created by additional appraisers, contact us at 1-800-252-6633.

Enabling WinTOTAL’s collaboration features is a two-step process. 

  1. The 2nd party creates the authorization file and then gives it to you via disk or e-mail. 
  2. Then, you "install" this file into your copy of WinTOTAL.

Creating & Sending Authorization Files

If you need to grant permission for another WinTOTAL user to deliver your reports through WinTOTAL’s XSite Network plugins…

  1. Anywhere in WinTOTAL, click the Options menu and select Allow another XSite user to convert my reports...  An e-mail message opens pre-filled with instructions and a subject line of "XSOM Authorization File attached” and an attached file named according to the customer number with an extension of WAF.  (ex:  8002526633.WAF)

  2. Enter the recipient's e-mail address and click Send.

 

Installing Authorization Files

To install an authorization file you’ve received so that you can deliver reports created by that appraiser…

  1. Make sure your PC has the WinTOTAL updates before installing the authorization file. 
  2. Open the e-mail message with the WAF attachment and double-click or "run" the attachment. 

WinTOTAL automatically opens and registers the authorization.  When successful, you see a message on screen telling you.
