Repair Lines

Manage Imported Changes to Repair Lines

Use the Audit Import functionality to manage imported changes to repair lines in an estimate.

The Audit Import feature allows you to view the changes before importing them. You can then apply the changes to the estimate or reject them as needed.

When Audit Import is active, the system checks for valid changes when an estimate is first opened. It continues to check for changes every 30 seconds while the estimate is open to the Repair tab. When a change is found, the Notification of Change dialog box appears, identifying the vendor or software program that generated the change.

Audit Import is a value-added option. To purchase and activate the option, contact your Mitchell representative.

Note: The system does not look for change files when the estimate is open in Browse Mode or print preview.
