WinTOTAL Aurora Update– March 31, 2006

 

This update contains more than 60 improvements throughout WinTOTAL, but with focus on the core formfilling and file management views.

 

Obviously, not all of these issues happen every time the various functions were used, but those of you who encountered these situations will be aware of them and know by these references that your issues are fixed.

 

Formfilling

·                     When you clone a report, the auto-numbering sequence is now incremented correctly, the report history of the existing report is no longer copied into your new file, and reports without a major form don’t give a runtime error 91.

·                     In certain instances, custom fonts on a photo addenda page with 3 or 6 photos wasn’t being retained.  This has been corrected.   

·                     SmartMerge now retains the state of your folders from the last time you used it.   

·                     When using a recent response entry, it was possible for WinTOTAL to apply the wrong entry.  This has been corrected.   

·                     When using an REO addendum in a report, data is transferred and held correctly in the major form’s comps grid.    

·                     The red “X” button in the file override screen works as expected now.

·                     The option to transfer data in your form properly remembers its setting.   

·                     When deleting a sketch page in the Sketch PowerView, it will now be removed immediately. 

·                     Switching between the split-screen addenda and the form view is more reliable. 

 

New Forms

·                     Added the IRS W-9 2006 Form

 

Comps

 

·                     Moving a comparable from one slot to another in the comps side-by-side view now works correctly.

·                     In certain cases, if you started a new report without cloning or merging and immediately used the comps database to place 3 comparables, they were being added to slots 4-6.  This has been corrected.

·                     When you remove a comparable from the side-by-side view into your digital Workfile, and then restore it at a later time, the comp photo is now restored correctly.

·                     When adding a comparable to the database manually, the age is now displayed correctly in the grid. 

·                     If you input a short sale date, such as 12/02, on a 1025 form in Athena, then upgraded to Aurora, the sale date now shows correctly.   

·                     When entering a short sale date such as 12/02, it is now saved as you enter it instead of converting it to 12/02/2006.   

·                     When searching for multiple criteria by using a semi-colon, the proper results are now returned. 

 

Mapping

·                     The net.X PowerView has been renamed to Maps PowerView.

·                     The auto-mapping features of WinTOTAL have been removed and replaced with simpler mapping tools, Athena-style.

·                     You can now selectively choose to include comps, rentals, or listings on your map.   

·                     Properties are no longer placed improperly at 0,0 GPS coordinates (in the Atlantic Ocean) if the address is not understood by the geocoding database. 

·                     You can now add GPS coordinates in Aurora in deg/min/sec format. 

·                     In certain instances, when double-clicking to edit the contents of a balloon, if you then hit escape to exit the balloon, the wizard would close unexpectedly.  This has been corrected.

·                     When using the Small Income Form [03/05], changes made to rentals or comps now show correctly. 

·                     Balloons placed on flood maps now display correctly. 

·                     Step #1 of the Map Wizard now always displays so you can verify address information.   

 

Files PowerView

·                     The signed date column has been added back into the available columns in the Files PowerView.   

·                     An issue that caused reports to not open after being moved between folders has been fixed. 

·                     The “All Reports” tracking folder now gives the correct total of all files in that folder. 

·                     You can now collapse either the Files view or the Tracking view, and the vertical divider between the views will now retain its position after you close and re-open WinTOTAL.   

·                     If there is more than one photo in the images database by the same file name, the correct one is now shown in the report details grid in the Files PowerView. 

·                     Setting status on a file after performing a search in the Files PowerView no longer clears the search results. 

·                     An option to open the report has been added to the report expanded details view.   

·                     The Files PowerView interaction with your Vault account has been improved, avoiding unnecessary error messages caused by temporary Internet interruptions.   

·                     Adding buttons to a custom toolbar in the Files PowerView now works correctly.   

·                     The Files PowerView no longer changes folders in the background while working in an open report.   

·                     If you input a range of date or time in the Order Form appointment field, that range is now displayed correctly in the Files PowerView instead of being blanked out.   

·                     In some cases a type mismatch error would be displayed when loading RELS orders.  This has been corrected.   

·                     The option to deliver a report in Pocket TOTAL format has been added back to the delivery menu.   

·                     In a small number of cases, if you opened a report with a subject photo and saved it, the Files PowerView would not show the photo preview.  This has been corrected.   

·                     When you print from the report’s expanded details view, the last printed date and last printed by fields now update correctly.   

·                     If you’ve attached directories connected to a network resource, and your network becomes unavailable, they’re now retained properly the next time you start WinTOTAL.   

·                     When the Order view is selected, and you do a search for files, the order form preview now updates immediately, instead of when you select one of the search results.   

·                     When adding new columns, the width is now properly retained. 

·                     When returning to the Files PowerView from another PowerView, the Vault, QuickBooks and XSite columns will no longer appear blank. 

 

Contacts

·                     Searching for contacts by anything other than name now works correctly. 

·                     Company records should no longer by synchronized with an XSite order if you have the add/update contact checkbox disabled. 

·                     In some cases, sorting company contacts in the database would show several blank rows.  This has been corrected.

 

Status

·                     The preview message link in the send status dialog screen now works correctly.   

·                     In certain cases it was possible for a report to be caught in the “In Progress” status.  This has been corrected. 

·                     When you mark a report as completed when signing a report, a completed notification is no longer sent automatically. 

·                     When uploading an XSite order for the first time, previous locally set statuses will not be removed. 

 

Delivery

·                     In some instances, when trying to deliver to AppraisalPort you would receive a message about a unique key violation.  This has been corrected. 

 

General

·                     When viewing the Pocket TOTAL or Snapshot views in the Appraisal Desktop, the default width of the navigation column is now correct. 

·                     You can now re-size the horizontal divider in the Help PowerView’s Update History view. 

 

SafeStart

·                     If WinTOTAL shuts down unexpectedly, it now runs a full system file replace instead of a selective system file check.
