Our electronic fax system, called “DirectFax,” provides an easy way for you
to quickly add a stack of documents into your workfile without individually
scanning each item. Of course, since DirectFax is a faxed-based
technology, you can give DirectFax coversheets to your clients so that they can
electronically send you important documents for any given appraisal. To use the
DirectFax view…
- In the Appraisal Desktop, click to
select the any file in your File Cabinet.
- Click the DirectFax tab at the bottom of the screen.
- WinTOTAL shows you a full list of items that have been sent through
DirectFax into your report’s workfile. From here you can:
- Create a new DirectFax coversheet – Using the DirectFax
coversheet, you can fax a stack of documents in to the number specified on
the cover sheet to convert them into a PDF and attach them to your report’s
workfile. Since this coversheet is specific to this report, you can
also give it to your clients so they can fax you important documents related
to the selected report.
- Download pending DirectFax items – If you’ve sent
anything in to DirectFax, it takes a few moments to convert those items into
PDF files. When the PDF files are ready, you can download them by
clicking Sync or Sync All.
Sync simply downloads DirectFax PDF’s related to the
selected report. Sync All retrieves any pending
DirectFax PDF’s and attaches those PDF’s to the appropriate report
workfiles.
