Dave and Mike,
I like Alamode and would just like to add a few wishes now and a few more later.
I get your current updates and then I have to reregister Athena or Pocket Total. This is a real hassle and ticks me off when I have owned both for years and am current with my tech support agreement.
I can not see who my clients are and their addresses fully in the tiny drop down box provided. This is used on every report and what could be more important. Yet who ever designed this aspect of athena can not be a practicing appraiser.
The whole way of setting up a job takes to long and I do not not like being forced to do things because some larger shops require tons of security, steps ,etc..
I should not be limited in doing things and have to go through extra steps and passwords on every appraisal when I am a one appraiser shop. I want to opt out of all this unneccessary security for my signature, etc. and
have the least number of key strokes possible. I have carpal tunnel from all this every day.
The 2055 form has errors in the E&O check due to multiple neighborhoods single family and condo. Also, how do I get the summary report to not print on 2055 but always print on my URAR forms.
Why does a 0 get added to the end of my pdf file name very often when no 0 was ever entered after the file name?
Why does my screen jump where I do not want it to in pocket total when I enter a word in some fields but not others I know about the critical fields.
I do not want the whole URAR form in pocket total for the URAR just what I need to inspect in the field.
It is difficult to draw large home sketches in field pad. Can this be fixed?
Why can't I use sketcher with win total I do not like apex.
Why must I answer questions about apex with every single update?
Why are my athena icons missing from a previous update where they just disappeared. Why can't I get a new disk with a full working program and no betas in it sent to me to correct this problem.
Why do I always have to click ok about removing the pocket total file after sync I know already. Do you get surgeon kick backs for carpal tunell?
I do not know exactly where I stand everyday in real time what is owed me and who owes me what. I do not know easily how many appraisals I am doing every day week month and year to date vs last quarter and year ago on one screen. How do I get everything I need to run my business as efficiently as possible.
Why must I build quick lists for each form why doesnt the program know the same quick list items should apply to each form with only a few minor differences rather than making you start from scratch on each form.
I am glad to hear of the new updates comming keep up the good work but what about my items concerns,etc. I have more.
Please have an appraisal focus group work on appraisal updates of real working fee appraisers from both one appraiser shops and multiappraiser shops and alow us to set up athena either as a one person shop or a multiappraiser shop. Keep all key strokes to an absolute minimum for one appraiser shops.
Video tapes an DVDs are cheap please do less expensive instructional
tapes or dvds so we can afford them and then we will call in less. Or use the net with windows media with free learning clips.
These are a few wish list items. I will send more as time permits.
Thanks for listening and I await patiently for your replies.
Please do not make them marketing replies.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate your feedback.
