The following are brief descriptions of some of the features you will find in DTS 2.0.
The Order Panel will display all parameters for a batch search and will allow the user to modify the search list before submitting. The search list is enabled only when multi-parameter or multi-service type searches are performed.
When multiple parameter types are populating the main parameter panel, a user can click the Search Parameters Add button to add the parameters to a search list prior to clicking the Submit button.
By clicking the Add button, the parameters in all available panels on the search screen will be added to the search list. These panels will then be cleared and the cursor will be placed into the first field of the main parameter panel. The user now has the option to change the search parameters type by selecting another multiple parameter type from the Search Parameters list dropdown menu.
This process may be repeated as many times as needed.
Display of large search results (HTML's of approximately 200+ pages) in the Application Window will require segment streaming of 20 - 60 page segments. This will allow the user to see the first segment of the report quicker than if they had to wait for the entire report to be downloaded and displayed. In these instances there will be "next" and "previous" buttons on the Application Toolbar to navigate to the next and previous segments of the report.
Expand/collapse functionality is available
for all report headers, instruments, cases, comments, orders etc. All
records have expand/collapse functionalities. The Collapse 
Button on the left of the records allows you to collapse
only the respective record's information. The Expand 
Button
on the left of the records will allow you to expand only the collapsed
record to the right of the button. The Show All 
Button will expand all the collapsed records in the report. The
Summary 
Button will collapse all the
expanded record details and display only the record headers for individual
records.
Either the Title or Tax Button will display on the Title or Tax Results Screens and generate the appropriate cross-reference search. "Tax" will display on the Title Results Screen and will generate a Tax Report. "Title" will display on the Tax Results Screen and will generate a Title Report.
The Title and Tax product documentation will contain diagrams demonstrating when these buttons will display in the Application Toolbar. These buttons are hidden from the screen when they are not applicable.
The Batch Images search service allows users to request images of any available document type from a drop-down menu. The availability of imaging services and any particular document types to select from depend upon the county the user is logged into.
DTS 2.0 will only allow you to change the County or the Company one at a time not both at the same time. After clicking the Go Button and changing the county or company you are then allowed to change either the county/company again.
If the customer makes any changes to the company section of the dropdown box, the state and county boxes immediately become disabled, which is indicated by a graying out of the fields. Similarly, if any changes are made to either the state or county boxes, the company box immediately becomes disabled.
The scroll bar will be controlled using the mouse. See Microsoft Windows® documentation for an explanation.
The up and down arrow keys can be used to navigate to the next or previous row, the cursor will be placed in the first field of that row.
You can save reports/images in PDF format to a harddrive or disk file, you can also e-mail reports/images in PDF format to anyone via Outlook. Refer to the User Manual sections on E-Mailing and Exporting reports/images for more information.
General communication and connection messages will appear on the Status Line at the bottom left half of the screen.
Edit and Error messages affecting a specific input field will appear in the Search Parameters panel area. The message text will be red.
Pop-up Error messages should be documented, reported to your Customer Service Representative and a log submitted to the Product Application and Development Department.
To add additional search parameters to any order, select the desired search service in the Search Parameters dropdown or from the Services menu and click on the Recall button in the Order Group Box. The Recall button will recall the last Order Numbers with the corresponding TOF and Comments entered during the current session.
To add a search parameter to an order opened in a previous session, enter the desired order number and TOF in the Order panel. When an existing order number is entered the user may receive the option to change the order number to a new number or continue to submit the search and append to the existing order, depending on the option setting in security.
Every result set displayed in the Application Window will have one matching link in the History Panel. Selecting a link from the History Panel will cause the corresponding result set to be displayed in the Application Window.
Result screen functionality, such as highlighting and striking records can be saved to the History Panel. To save the modified state of the search results the user must click on the "Save" button in the Application Toolbar. A message in the Status Bar will state "Report Saved". The saved report in the History Panel will include those modifications. Highlighting, striking, and image request check marks will be reflected in the Print Preview and Print of a saved report.
Additional imaging software is not necessary with the DTS 2.0. Imaging retrieval is integrated into the new product.
Document Types are requested and when images are available, Image Check Boxes are displayed in the search results. After documents have been checked and the Request Images button has been clicked, they will be listed under the search on the Images Panel. If the images are available they can be viewed by clicking on the document in the Images Panel. Print checked documents clicking on File => Print on the Main dropdown menu.
Documents requested will be listed in the Images Panel and will have a picture icon when the document has been located. The picture icon will have a red circle containing an x when the document is not found or an error condition exists with the image provider.
Reports that can be viewed can also be printed. Pressing the Print button on File => Print on the Main dropdown menu, will give you the "Print Images" dialog box from which you can print the report/image.
Result screen functionality, such as highlighting and striking/hiding records, are represented on the printed report. Saving the highlighting, striking, and tagged image requests on the search results screen will save the modified search results to the History Panel and to Completed Searches. Highlighting, striking, and image request check marks will be reflected in the Print Preview and Print of a saved report.
The Image Secondary Screen and Separate Image Viewer layouts incorporate additional functionality into the current Split Screen and Separate Image viewers. The new Separate Viewer Window provides a more efficient interface to complement Dual Monitor display. The user has the ability to switch ON or OFF the Separate Image Window. This feature can be turned OFF at anytime, as long as you are not viewing an image in the application window or do not have the image window open. The Separate Image Viewer window allows the functionality of the Application Toolbar, Context Menu and Tagging.
The Dual-Monitor functionality requires a second monitor and either two monitor cards or a dual monitor card in your PC. The Split Screen Dual Monitor view, whether in Horizontal or Vertical views will allow for the Strike, Save and Summary report actions.
