On that line item, left click on the unit price button, in the box that pops up, select the Non O & P button, click OK.

Tim, I have asked MS/B is their Integraclaim would work on a Mac and they said no. I am going to assume Exactimate would not either, as they would have to rewrite to Mac windows code, and I doubt they would do that. Would be nice to have on a Mac air book, for sure.

How do you put the name of the insurance company on any paper work ?  How do you set up the photo sheets to put some of the insured information on the photo sheet like the insureds name and address ?

I always like using the Xact photo sheets on liability, OTR cargo and scene investigation tasks.  Just set up a dummy file in Xact with the insured name/claimant name, DOL & claim# only, loaded my photos to it & annotated them.  Then saved them to my hard drive as pdf's and deleted the file off of Xact.  Seemed easier than using some other generic type of photo sheet, but probably just because I was used to it.

I read your question last week and went to xactware support. The answer I recieved was yes. I would call them to confirm

I will cut and paste if possible .Hope I can help

Why would You take out o&p? I t will take at least 3 trades to replace that window. 1, Window installer. 2. Finish Carpenter. and 3. Painter. Take a look at the discription box to the side.

Tim, I agree that it is a non O&P item. Thats the way I would write it anyway.

I guess I would need more facts to decide. Did the GC find the Pella rep, call them, meet them at the inspection, agree on the replacement window, order it, and pay for it upfront? Or did the insured call Pella and do the above? If the GC did the work (find, meet, order, pay), how is Pella any different than any other sub the GC might use? If the GC just said to the insured, here's the number for the Pella rep, and that was the extent of his involvement, then I would leave off the O&P.     (.02 and worth every penny)

This kinda strayed off the topic into a "Pella" story.  But that's OK...I'll stick with Pella.  When it comes to hail dings on clad windows, these guys are great and just like buying a Big Mac, the pricing consistant within broad geographic areas regardless of cat or not.

All you have to do is call your local Pella guy, and they will be glad to give you their price list for every size/shape window they do for re-cladding  a window after a hail storm.  Plus, they'll give you the trip charges for the varying mileage ranges.  And that includes their 1st inspect plus repairs.  Can be a few variances, of course, it you have 2nd story custom oddball shapes, but those don't come up all that often.  You can write your estimate "bid price" & attach the Pella price list if you think your carrier needs that documentation.  Very accurate, and never failed for me.  And, never ever added O&P when the homeowner contacted them directly to do the work independent of whatever else needed repaired.

Tim, its called Parallels.... Go to the Mac store they have it there...Its pretty expensive but that is not your only cost.. So now that you have Parallels uploaded and working you now need a copy of Vista, Xp, etc etc ( a working Microsoft OS). When you have all that then it will work. DO NOT buy the cheap program that does the same thing as Parallels because it doesn't work. It has major loading issues. If you know of any other adjusters that want to get Xactimate on Mac you could share the Parallels cost with them. I have been told that this will work with Mac and plan to do this all when the next hurricane hits. I am sick of having 4 computers to have to haul around ( 2 working 27.3 for my GF and I to write at the same time and 2 Macs)..UGH Hope this helps
