3 Replies and 15340 Views Xactimate 28 Lag and Delays  15340  3 Started by  justinfeldman I have been using v28 for several years now and from the day of install the program has had delays and lag in every aspect of preparing an estimate. The lag/delays become longer and more frequent the longer the program is running where unless I close/reopen xact it will eventually crash. I have spent countless hours with Xact tech help where they have taken over my laptop and done an endless number of things to try and improve performance but nothing ever works.

2 Replies and 9698 Views Xactimate- residual deductible  9698  2 Started by  A_Casey I have a Citizens DP3 policy which is ACV. When I put in the parameterize that it's ACV of course I get the non recoverable depreciation on the final numbers. MY team lead says I need to take out the wording Non recoverable and make it recoverable. I change it to an RCV policy to show the depreciation, but I then get this residual deductible showing on the final. The insured's damages are under their deductible. Is there anyway around this Am I doing something wrong please help.

1 Replies and 6292 Views Xactimate Estimate Formulas  6292  1 Started by  RobShaver I have an example estimate created by Xactimate and I'm trying to understand how construction material costs and labor costs are reflected in that estimate. The columns I'm trying to understand are QUANTITY, UNIT, TAX, O&P, RCV. Correct me if I get any of the following wrong. QUANTITY is the size of that piece in units such as Square Feet (SF), Linear Feet (LF) Each (EA).  UNIT is the cost per unit. My biggest question is, does this amount include material costs AND labor cost  ...

0 Replies and 4198 Views Comm. Rpr/Remdl Tax  4198  0 Started by  Wagenmaster Can someone explain the difference between using the Comm Rpr/Remdl tax and the regular tax rate Why would I use one over the other This is a commercial policy and using the Comm Rpr/Remdl tax rate adds $4,309.32 over the regular tax rate of $8.25! I've checked the Tx DOI website for clarification, but can't seem to get a straight answer. I used the regular tax rate of 8.25 on my estimate and the roofer used the Comm Rpr/Remdl tax rate which also shows to be 8.25 and there is the $4,309.32...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
I tried mobile version of Xactimate 28 on my tablet today. Between that and their mobile version of Xacanalysis and Xactcontents this is going to be the future of estimating. You would sketch in the field, may be even add line items in the field, come home write a report, mount photos, boom, you are done.  You will also have an online version of Xact. Which means that you can access it from any computer with a browser and internet. Sweet.  All versions will be synchronized through th...

5 Replies and 5830 Views Xactimate 28  5830  5 Started by  Ray Rossetti I was informed by an Xactimate support Technician that you can only open 28 if you have internet access available because of password authentication. This may cause huge issues after major storms when there is often little to no internet or cell phone/card access available in the storm areas. This means if there no internet available you will not be able to complete any estimates to upload later. They say once you open 28 you can work offline but you can not open it without internet access. ...

3 Replies and 4602 Views Xactimate 28  4602  3 Started by  dpadjuster I just upgraded to 28 about a week ago, and am finding a lot of bugs in it.  Has anyone else found this problem  I am wondering if it is my install that was defective, or if the whole program is like this.  I am especially having problems with the GLR and changing the deductible.
