In the previous tutorial, we learned how to edit the floorplans in the in-app editor, and we left off on this screen. In this tutorial, we move on to the interior photos, and then after that, filling in the final report.
Taking interior photos is very similar to how we capture the exterior ones, except for a few minor differences. One of these differences that you’ll notice is this checklist button in the top left of the screen. Clicking this button toggles the picture checklist, and you can use while taking pictures to ensure that you remember to take photos all the relevant rooms. Note how, in this checklist, new labels corresponding to the ones we created in our floorplan have been added automatically, to allow you to associate pictures with the relevant labels in the floorplans.
As before, simply point and press the button near the bottom of the screen to take pictures. Also as before, the image gallery is accessible from the thumbnail icon in the bottom right, which you can open and use to view the photos captured so far, both interior and exterior, and change the assigned labels, if need be.
Once you’ve taken all the required photos, click on the “Continue to Form” button near the bottom of the screen, and then Continue again. At this stage, the app processes all the data collected so far, from the photos and voice notes, and uses it to auto-fill the relevant fields in the report.
At this stage, we have collected the majority of the data we need, and the last step in the flow is to fill out the final property appraisal form. In this form, there are a number of categories, including Property Details, Interior, Exterior, and Photos, which you can switch between by tapping the relevant tab button. Alternatively, you can use the Next and Previous buttons near the bottom of the screen to switch between the tabs. In each of the tabs, you can also see what percentage of that part of the form has been completed.
You will also observe that many of the fields are already populated. The values for these fields were determined by processing the data you collected by taking photos and recording voice notes. For any required fields which were not auto-filled, pause the video and the take the time now to enter the corresponding values. Assuming you have now completed all required sections of the form, press the checkmark button near the top right of the screen to finalize this appraisal and to now sync it the the Automax copilot platform that you use on the web.
Congratulations, you have completed your very first appraisal with comprehensive data collection using the Automax mobile app. At this stage, if you go back to the home screen, you can refresh the list of appraisals and view the details of this completed appraisal by clicking on the list item.
That brings us to the end of this video AND to the end of this tutorial series.
