The Order Form, available in the Assignment PowerView in every TOTAL report,
contains all of the basic order info such as the report contacts, subject
information, and additional information like an order map and directions to the
subject property. To edit the report's order form:
- In a report in TOTAL, navigate to the report's order form. Usually the
Order Form is the top-most form in your report.
- Fill out the details in the report's order form. At a minimum, be sure to
select report contacts and fill out the subject property information. To add
contacts to your report, do one of the following:
- Select the contact from your address book by choosing the contact out of
the drop‑down menu for the contact field.
- Type the name of the client into the contact field if it's a new
contact, place your cursor over the book icon to the right of the field,
choose Add from the menu, fill out the contact details, and
click OK to save the contact into your address book AND
into your report.
- If the contact is the same for a particular field as another contact in
your report (e.g. client/lender), hover your cursor over the book icon
to the right of the field, choose Same As from the menu,
and select the contact to copy from elsewhere in your report into the
current field.
Add an invoice to your report at any time using the Order
Form/Invoices pane on the left side of the Assignment PowerView.
- Click Add Invoice in the Order
Form/Invoices pane.
- Select the type of invoice from the Add or Remove Forms
window.
- Click Save & Close.
Once you've added an invoice to your report, select it in the Order
Form/Invoices pane to view it from the Assignment PowerView. You can
also send a PDF copy of your invoice using your default email application by
clicking Send Invoice in the top toolbar.
You must have an email client installed on your computer and configured
with an email address in order to use the
Send Invoice
function. If you don't, or if you use a webmail application like Yahoo or
Gmail, follow the instructions for
printing your report to PDF (selecting only the
invoice) and then manually attach that to an email message.
To make it easier to keep track of your appointments, TOTAL includes a
feature to export inspection details to Microsoft® Outlook. To export
your appointment details to Outlook:
- First, simply fill out the Inspection Contacts & Access
Information section of the Order form.
- Now, click the blue clock icon ( ), make any changes to the
appointment, then click Export.
That's it! Your appointment has now been exported to Outlook, and is
available in Outlook's Calendar.
