Copyright Reports
New to the Aurora release of WinTOTAL is the ability to copyright your
appraisal reports to ensure that their content is legally protected for
legitimate use only. To copyright a report…
- Open a report you wish to copyright.
- Once it’s open, click Copyright Report in the
Tools menu.
- When the Copyright Report screen appears, mark each of
the options you wish to use in your copyright protection. Options
include:
- Insert copyright license – Inserts a copyright license
into your report to provide a clear understanding of the copyright’s
implications.
- Place copyright text on all forms – Labels each form in
your report as copyrighted.
- Place copyright text on photos selected below – When
you mark this option, you can choose to include the word “Copyright” on any
or all of your appraisal photos by marking the photos you’d like to
copyright.
- Tell me how I can register my appraisal with the U.S. Copyright
Office – This link takes you directly to the page of the
government’s copyright website that outlines how you can copyright your
report.
- Once you’ve selected the appropriate options for your copyright, click
OK to copyright your report.
WinTOTAL flags your report as copyrighted and adds an unlimited use license
agreement to your report, explaining the terms of use for your appraisal
report.
