The Organisation/Client field is setup to reference the Client records that are stored in ValuePRO. The Client record is initially linked to the job during the Add New Job process. The database field name is OrgLender and the field is included on all ValuePRO default DET's.

Admin and Master Users also have access to the Change button (3), which can be used to either update the Job card with any new updates from the assigned Client card or reassign a new Client card to the Job card.

When the user clicks the Change button (3), the Change Client window (4) will pop up and display the Client information currently on the Job card and the Client information currently stored in the Client card.

This allows the user to compare the difference in Client information between the Job card and the Client card. Clicking the Update Job button (5) will transfer and overwrite the Client information on the Job card with the Client information in the Client card.

While still on the Change Client window, if the user wishes to reassign the Job to another Client card in ValuePRO, this can be done by typing the name of the new Client to assign in the Enter Client Name field (6).

ValuePRO will present the user with a list of existing Clients that match the name and the user can choose an existing Client from the list. Once the Client is chosen, the Reassign button (7) will appear and a third column will be added to the Change Client view with the Client information from the newly selected Client card. The user can now compare the Client information from the Job card, the currently assigned Client and the newly selected Client.

To proceed and confirm the Client reassignment, click the Reassign button (7).

There are certain Client specific flags that may also appear on the Job card immediately below the Organisation/Client field. These are:

• Red Flag Issues (8) - If the Client card has the Red Flag checkbox ticked, Admin and Master Users will see a comment in a red box displayed. If the Allow Valuers to see Client Red Flags setting is turned on, Valuer Users will also see the red box and comments.
• Valuation Instructions (9) - If there is any information entered into the Valuation Instructions field on the Client card, all users will see the information in a yellow box displayed.

The Billing Name field is designed for use specifically with the MYOBLINK integration. It provides users with a Client list of all clients that are linked to MYOB via the MYOBLINK integration. The database field name is AccountsLinkCustomerID and the field is not included on all ValuePRO default DET's, however it can be added by a Master User.

The Additional Occupancies & Building appears on the Job card as a button that allows users to add Additional Occupancies to a job. The database field name is AdditionalOccupancies and the field is included on all ValuePRO default DET's, specifically on the Building Tab.

Click on the Add Occupancy/Building button (1) to create a new occupancy. The user will receive the following alert:

Do you want to copy information from the Building Tab into the new Occupancy? The latest saved values will be imported by default.

Clicking the OK button (2) will copy the information from the Job card to the Occupancy card (4) for fields that are enabled. Clicking the Cancel button (3) will still create the new Occupancy card (4), however it will not copy across any information from the job.

Once the Occupancy card (4) is open, users can edit the fields with the information for the occupancy, then press the Save button (6) to save their changes.

Clicking on the ellipsis button (7) next to an occupancy record will open the Occupany card (8). Once the Occupancy card (8) is open, users can edit the fields with the information for the occupancy, then press the Save button (10) to save their changes.

Users can also click on the Close button (9) to close the Occupancy card, click on the Spell button (11) to perform a spell check on all the text fields on the Occupancy card, click the Delete button (12) to delete the Occupancy record and click the Map button (13) to open the Map window and display a map of the property.

The Acting As Broker For field (1) appears on the Job card as a select list of clients that have been setup to allow other clients to act as a broker for them. The database field name is AsBrokerFor and the field is included on all ValuePRO default DET's, specifically on the Instructions Tab.

ValuePRO supports the modelling of a single instructing party that is acting as a broker for another party, with invoicing going to 1 or 2 other parties. The Acting As Broker For models the scenario where a job is being instructed by a Mortgage Broker (e.g: Mortgage Choice or Aussie Home Loans) but the borrower is applying for finance through the broker to a financial institute (e.g: ANZ, Westpac or Commonwealth Bank).

ValuePRO allows users to identify existing clients in your application that may allow other clients to act as a broker for them. This can be setup on the Client card (2) of the client that needs to appear in the Acting As Broker For list. Once the Client card (2) is open, scroll to the bottom of the Client Details tab and locate the Broker Network (3) field, then select the Other clients may act as a broker for this client option. This will then put the client into the Acting As Broker For list.

Users can now select this client in the Acting As Broker For list to create the relationship between the assigned Client and the Broker on the Job card. This will allow the Bank's valuation requirements, Nominated Parties and Lender Specific Information to be used in place of assigned Client. This means that you can keep the assigned Client or the Broker as your instructing client, however the Valuation report generated will contain the relevant information required by the financial institution.

The Built Year Label field (1) appears on the Job card as a drop down list of options and the Built About field (2) appears on the Job card as a single line field for users to enter text. The database field names are BuiltAbout and BuiltYearLabel and the fields are included on all ValuePRO default DET's, specifically on the Building Tab.

Although there are two fields, when both fields are present on a DET, ValuePRO will display the Built Year Label drop down list and the Built About text field side by side on the Job card, as both these fields are linked. Users can then first select an option from the Built Year Label drop down list, then enter the complimentary text in the Built About text field.

For example, users can enter "Year Built 2000" or "Circa 1900's" or "To Be Erected Nov 2015".

The database field names are ReportFee, Expenses, SearchFee and TotalFee and these fields are included on all ValuePRO default DET's, specifically on the Instructions Tab.

When a value is entered into or modified in the Report Fee, Expenses or Search Fee fields, ValuePRO automatically calculates the total and updates the Total Fee field immediately. Alternatively, if a value is entered into or modified in the Total Fee field, ValuePRO automatically updates the Report Fee field with the appropriate value, minus any values present in the Expenses and Search Fee fields.

Users also have the option to change the drop down to see the fee value for any field either with or without the tax rate applied. The numeric value displayed in the currency field will immediately change when the drop down option is changed, to either apply or remove the tax rate value.

These drop down tax rate lists will default to a particular option depending on the following settings in ValuePRO:
