Re:     Aurora:  January 3rd update is ready

Today’s WinTOTAL Aurora update is now available on our servers. To download it, click the “Get Updates” button on the toolbar in your Appraisal Desktop.

Over the last several updates we’ve released improvements to the cursor movement and navigation in dozens of forms.  These have been very well received, and you’ll notice this update has navigation improvements to dozens more "minor” forms you use every day.  At the end of this message is a list of all the improvements in this update.  They can also be seen, along with other important information, on the Aurora status website.  Just click here to visit it.

I also want to point out a very nice improvement to the Contacts PowerView.  You can now view and group your contacts by Name, Company, Address and other contact information by way of a “drop down” on the toolbar.  This will make it easier to find and filter your contacts more quickly.  We’ve also improved the ability to search by e-mail address and phone number.  Our alpha and beta testers have been very pleased with these changes, so make sure and check them out.

Last, we’re releasing our own “general purpose,” non-lender form to full beta testing next week.  We’ve named it the GP Residential, and it's the first in a complete set of non-lender forms that will ultimately include a variety of other "GP" and true consumer-centric forms.  To see a PDF on the Aurora Status website, click here.  We'd love to get your feedback.  The first versions of these forms will be legal sized, and then we'll put out letter sized as well.  As each of these is developed they'll be posted to the Aurora Status website so you'll have a chance to provide feedback and help shape the final product.  Look for the final release of the GP Residential in a February WinTOTAL update.

That’s it for today.  As always, thank you for your business and I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
