Property Type Underwriting Reporting

Brian — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:14:41 +0000

As you are probably aware the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, beginning January 1st, 2012, is requiring that the Property Type be added to all reported title policies.

You can begin to collect the data with the current version of Turbo Title by using the “Type” field under the “Property” tab in the Order Setup screen.

Select the first option “Residential 1-4″ for a file to be reported as Residential property. Use either of the other options (“Residential 5+” or “Commercial”) to report the file as Non-residential.

We are currently working on modifying the underwriter reports and expect to have an update available by the end of the month.

The following screen shot show where to enter the required information:

Receipt Printing

Eric Godfrey — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:30:53 +0000

You can now print deposit receipts from TurboTitle. This can be especially useful for situations where you receive funds outside of closing, such as receipt of earnest money. To print a receipt, simply select a deposit in the disbursements section and click the new “Print Receipt” item on the left hand menu.

Before printing a receipt, you’ll need to create a template. We have a starter template available in the Turbo Document Repository, titled TW-Receipt.TD. Place this document in your server’s TTW/Standard directory. You may create a receipt from scratch, or edit the template, by opening the Doc Designer and selecting Design > Standard Docs > Design Receipt.

Using a Network Scanner with TurboTitle

Eric Godfrey — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:26:53 +0000

TWScanTran

If you use a network scanner in your office, the TWScanTran utility makes it easy to use your network scanner to import files into Turbo.

Setup

Download the utility and install it on a TurboTitle workstation that will remain logged in. TWScanTran will start itself on future logins. To start it now and configure it’s settings, launch the utility from the TurboTitle Start folder and click on “Settings.”

The TIF directory setting should point to the network directory where the network scanner will save files intended to be imported to TurboTitle.

Optionally, you can set the utility to automatically check for new images on a determined interval. To enable this feature, check the box labeled “Retrieve New Image Files Automatically” and set the check interval to your desired length.

When you have set the desired settings, click exit.

To hide the TWScanTran menu and click “Hide.” The scanning transfer utility will continue running in the system tray. To completely close the utility and stop scanning transfers, click “Stop & Close.”

Saving the Scanned Images

TWScanTran checks the files in the specified network directory and looks for files named with TurboTitle order numbers. To save a scanned image to a particular TurboTitle order, simply save it with the same name as the order. TWScanTran will automatically remove the scanned image from the network directory as it copies it into the TurboTitle database.

Example: To save a file to the order UT-12345 save the image as “UT-12345.tif”.

TWScanTran will also allow you to add a scan bookmark name to the scanned image. When saving the scanned file, add a space after the TurboTitle file number, followed by the name. The name must be one of the pre-configured document names in TurboTitle.

Example: To save an imgae to the order UT-12345 and name it as a Quick Claim Deed, save the image as “UT-12345 QCD.tif”, where QCD is the name used for Quick Claim Deeds in TurboTitle.

TurboTitle Print Driver: Did someone say paperless?

Jason Mayhue — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:55:25 +0000

We are exited to announce that we have begun beta testing on our new TurboTitle Print Driver. This powerful new tool lets you save anything you can print to TurboTitle as either a PDF file, a scanned image, or both. This ability edges you closer to going completely paperless by taking away the need to print something on paper simply to turn around and scan and save it as a file or image. Any program that can print is now a tool to help you get the information you want, where you need it. Web browsers, email clients, PDF viewers, and any other program you use to print your documents can now help you prepare, track and store that information where it can help you most.

How It Works

Once the TurboTitle Print Driver is installed, simply select TurboTitle Printer as your printer when you print a document. The TurboTitle Print utility will then show you a preview of your document and let you select or change information such as the TurboTitle file number, PDF filename, Scanning Department or Scanned Doc Name before you click save to send the file or image to TurboTitle.

Features

Besides being able to take advantage of existing TurboTitle scanning features such as annotations, scan departments and document naming, there is a vast array of options that can be selected for your documents. Here are just a few:

Watermarks
BookMarks
Security
Digital Signatures
Overlay
Graphic Compression
Automatically Detect URLs

Release Schedule

The print driver and pricing information will be available in early January. The print driver requires changes made in the most recent build of TurboTitle (10.12.2.0 or later), so make sure you schedule a time to upgrade to Version 5.1 with us and get the December TurboTitle release if you have not been able to do so yet.
