Report Delivery |
||
In the past, delivering your appraisal often meant plowing through reams of paper, juggling two or more printers, fiddling with little plastic binders, and then jumping in your car to run it over to your client’s office.
Today, the vast majority of appraisals are being delivered electronically. Typically, this involves printing the report to a PDF file, then attaching it to an e-mail message. WinTOTAL Athena pioneered a new, streamlined method of report delivery through its EDI center. Now, Aurora is poised to again revolutionize how appraisers interact with their clients through a combination of innovative report delivery options:
- Outlook or other e-mail – Appraisers who want to deliver reports directly to their customers in a PDF format, or share WinTOTAL files with other appraisers, can use this option. Using the industry standard Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), WinTOTAL can interact with your default e-mail application much as it once did with the EDI Center. Report delivery is still integrated with the PDF-creation process and information from the report is still added to your accompanying e-mail message – just as you were familiar with in Athena.
- SureReceipts – This innovative — and more secure — technology delivers your report through a password-protected web page. This method of delivering appraisal reports provides two distinct advantages over simple delivery using e-mail. First, you get immediate notification when your customer receives the report. Second, your customer doesn’t have to sift through his spam-laden Inbox to locate your report.
- XSites Network – If you’re using the XSites Network to
receive and track appraisal orders — whether from your XSite or from one of
the network’s partners, like RealEC or Rels — then this delivery method is the
one to use. Reports are uploaded to the XSites Network and the status is
immediately reflected in your online order management system.
To begin the delivery process, click the Send button in the top toolbars, click the drop-down arrow beside the Send button and select a delivery method, or select a delivery method from the Deliver Report menu.
