The View Menu Pad is used to control how the data you have chosen is presented on the screen. Our software allows users to select from several different user interfaces, depending upon user preferences and the operation being performed.  Form View  fits all data elements on a single screen for comprehensive and very detailed data review.  The Two user-configurable Grid Views are optimized for data comparison and powerful data manipulation. Inspector View enables data organization by category.  PDF View enables optional  address synchronization with external PDF documents.

The WebRE Menu Pad translates your personal Internet Explorer bookmarks into geographically-enabled Real Estate Smartlinks which the database can use for real estate research.

The Mapping Menu Pad functions include mapping single or grouped properties,  automatically geocoding by street address and allowing adjustment of computer-located marker positions where necessary.  A variety of map exhibits can be conveniently generated for selected properties 

The Reports Menu Pad is used to activate the Reporting Module where many types of preformatted reports can be generated.  Reports may be rendered to any Windows printer, to Microsoft Word, to Microsoft Excel, as an Adobe PDF Document, or as a web page.

The Help Menu Pad allows access to a variety of help resources, ranging from context-sensitive help with the current data element, currently-active screen, how-to video tutorials covering many topics, and keyword-referenced help resources from our community forums.

A key feature of the ASW software is its ability to import, resize, catalog, and manage many different types of real estate images.  While primarily designed for property photos, our image management features can also be adapted to include surveys, plats, floor plans, even scanned archival documents from your work files. The Image Management Module offers two different operating modes with specialized features to efficiently and conveniently manage your real estate images.
 

This screenshot illustrates Image Import Mode which provides a streamlined method to import digital images in bulk from your digital camera, windows clipboard, or disk directories.  Simultaneously, images are organized, categorized, associated with database properties, automatically captioned, and reduced in size (up to 99%) for efficient disk storage.

This screenshot illustrates some of our built-in and user-configurable image processing options:

• Image resizing: Anyone who has used a digital camera and imported digital image files to a computer knows that the files can be extremely large.  For these reasons, our image importing software automatically reduces the size of large JPEG files to one of three more manageable image resolutions, configurable by default and changeable on-the-fly to meet the requirements of individual images.  Reductions in image storage size from 95%-99% are typical. 
• Image rotation: Prior to importing, images may be rotated Right or Left by specifying "R" or "L" in the Rot column.  "N" signifies no rotation. Image rotation and resolution can also be adjusted by selecting the "Test Resolution" context menu option.

After data selection and map preview, which takes as little as two mouse clicks, you are ready to generate your map exhibit, a process which is initiated by clicking the 'Generate' command button.  After clicking the 'Generate' command button, the right screen panel will be devoted to an on-screen representation of the finished map exhibit, as illustrated by the accompanying screenshot.

The Reporting Module provides convenient, flexible and powerful report and exhibit generation from the local databases.  Designed to automatically and consistently render a variety of pre-formatted reports, the Reporting module includes: a choice of easy-to-use preset or powerful SQL data selection; editing and cleansing tools to insure that data elements are consistent and professional; and user extensions which allow reports to be named, grouped, and titled according to user preferences. Reports can be rendered to printers, Microsoft Word or pdf documents, or as Excel spreadsheets.

• Data selection: Choose comps with easy-to-use preset filters or powerful SQL data selection tools:
  • Preset filters: Common real estate and appraisal phrases
  • SQL expressions: User-customizable library of SQL phrases
• Data preview / Convenience editing:  Multiple modes of data preview and editing ehance data consistency and presentation quality
  • Full datagrid editing enables visualization of multiple comps and allows our power pasting tools for data manipulation. 
  • Top-level summary photo grid editing shows only the most essential data along with a photo of the property.
  • Drill-down editing with the property inspector enables isolation of categorized data elements.
• Report selection: One-click selection from dozens pre-configured reports and exhibits
  • Custom reports:  The report library can be extended with an unlimited number of custom reports and groups
  • User-designed reports:  An unlimited number of user-designed data-merge-into-text reports can be composed
• Report exporting: One-click printing or exporting to Microsoft Word, pdf document, Excel spreadsheet, or web page. 

This screenshot shows the reporting module in full data prevew mode, along with some of our datagrid context wizards.

Sometimes it is helpful to drill-down to a specific data element which is difficult to find in a large datagrid, or not visible in the summary display.  This screenshot illustrates our Property Inspector which organizes individual data elements either alphabetically by name or by collapsible categories. 

This screenshot illustrates one of several different photo exhibit layouts designed for internal organization of images rather than client presentation.

Moving researched comparable sale and rent data between libraries and job files is critical to operating efficiently as an appraiser.  Our software makes market data much easier to acquire, research, and enhance with supplemental analysis and data verifications.  Once fully researched and verified, market data can be reused many times.  This screenshot illustrates data selection using our SQL panel to move market data between a library and a job file.

Our comprehensive data import/export capabilities provide automated martket data acquisition, transformation, and integration from many different real estate data providers. Import/export functionality is available throughout the software, with automated raw data acquisition provided by two alternative methods:

• Real-Time Data Acquisition: Market data is transferred programmatically from the browser to the database during an online session.
• Data Import from Download File: A download file, saved from an online session, is translated and imported into the local database.

 This screenshot shows market data from an online session being extracted in real-time, translated, and saved into the local database.

The SaleComp and RentComp editing modules are where the detailed property attributes of sale and rent comparables are viewed, edited, or manually entered into the database. Although comp data can be conveniently edited throughout the software, users are encouraged to utilize the comp editing modules where automatic data validation, math calculation, and web research features are provided. 

The accompanying screenshot illustrates the SaleComp Editor in form display mode. Alternative display modes include the Datagrid mode, which offers powerful data manipulation tools for simultaneous comparison of multiple properties, and the Inspector mode which provides a categorized display of detailed data attributes.

The DataAnalysis regression tab features automated least-squares linear regression with one-click user selection of dataset and data series from among a preset selection of common data correlations. Chart type, composition, scale, styling, and most presentation elements are user-configurable. In addition to graphic visualization, regression statistics can be communicated numerically or automatically converted to narrative text, in descriptive, predictive, and reverse-regression x=f(y) application of the regression formula.
