When your report is complete and ready to deliver, it’s first time to sign
the report. This is an important step in the electronic world, as applying your
digital signature also “locks” the report so it can no longer be changed.
Signing Reports
To sign a report…
- From the Forms PowerView, click
Sign in the toolbar, or choose Tools,
Sign/Unsign from the menus.
- Mark either the Appraiser or Supervisor
option.
- Choose a color. You can have your signature print in blue or red (on a
color printer) even if it was scanned in black.
- Check the box to insert the current date automatically into the
Signed Date field of your report.
- At the bottom of the screen, a handful of other options appear and can
assist you in completing various tasks with your report. Options are:
- Export report comps into Comparables Database – This
option automatically adds the comps and subject information from your
current report to your comps database so you can retrieve them easily
later. If the comp is already in your database, you may be prompted
about whether you want to update the comp with the latest information in
your report.
- Set report status to complete... – If you’re using
WinTOTAL’s status tools in conjunction with your XSite, you can indicate
that the report is complete automatically when you sign a report by marking
this option.
- Deliver report using XSite Delivery Wizard – If you are
using WinTOTAL in conjunction with your XSite, this feature automatically
starts the XSite Delivery Wizard to deliver your report when it’s
checked. For more information on the XSite Delivery Wizard, see the XSite Delivery section of this user
guide.
- Click OK.
- If you configured your system to protect your signature, type the password
you assigned, and click OK.
Now, all pages of the report have been “signed.”
Unsigning Reports
To unsign a report…
- In the Forms PowerView, click
Sign again and choose to Remove your
signature(s) instead.
