Organize Reports

With more flexible ways to store and transmit data, many appraisers now have to juggle multiple copies of the same report file across several different computers and devices. To help you cope with this problem, the File Manager organizes your reports into top-level folders based on where the files are located. There are several types of folders that may appear in the Folders list as you're working with your reports depending on what storage devices or removable media are currently connected to your PC. These types of folders include:

• Titan Drive Recent Reports — Titan Drive Recent Reports displays any file that is stored in Titan Drive that has been modified in the last 30 days. When you make a change to a file, save it, and it's uploaded to Titan Drive, it automatically appears in Titan Drive's list of Recent Reports in TOTAL's Appraisal Desktop.
• My Reports — These folders contain reports in your Windows Documents, or "My Documents", folder. TOTAL stores these reports inside the a la mode\Reports folder. Keep in mind, reports stored in the My Reports folder aren't visible to other workstations.
• Shared Reports — If you're using TOTAL Server, these folders contain the reports inside your dedicated TOTAL network share. For standalone installations of TOTAL, they contain the report files stored in your computer's Public Documents folder which is accessible to any networked computers and any other user accounts on your computer.
• Deleted Items — Contains any files that have been deleted through TOTAL and are stored in a folder separate from your Windows Recycle Bin.
• Removable Drives — Contains any files and folders found on USB "thumb" drives attached to your computer.
• CD Drives — Contains the files and folders stored on a CD or DVD currently in your computer.
• Attached Folders — Contains report files in folders you've attached to your File Manager.

  

Since TOTAL does store your appraisal files in your Windows Documents, or "My Documents", folder, you're still free to manage your appraisal files outside of the File Manager.
