Xactimate Inspection Tool

With the Xactimate Inspection Tool, you can grant access to the specific functionality your employees need to perform proof of loss and preliminary inspections, and if you have an Xactimate subscription with an online instance, you can add unlimited inspectors for no additional cost.

April 2019

Rotating stairs

We’ve expanded our staircase rotation capabilities in sketch by allowing you to rotate stairs before you place them in the workspace.

Editing replacement value field for contents items

For contents items, instead of manually calculating the unit price before tax, you can now simply enter the retail price with taxes. This will save you valuable time and streamline your workflow.

March 2019

ITEL integration

You can now import Xactimate project information into the ITEL Now App, eliminating duplicate entry. This means that you can view your local project list and select a project within the ITEL Now App, and the data will seamlessly transfer over.

February 2019

Suggested items

Using Vai technology, Xactimate mobile now suggests line items intuitively based on the popularity for item type, location, loss type, and room type, making it faster to find the line items most common to your loss scenario.

Notice that the suggested line items update when the type of loss is changed from Freeze to Flood to Fire.

January 2019

Snap for wall and fence tool

We’ve improved the sketch experience with walls and fences. As your finger gets close to an intersecting wall or fence, your sketch will automatically snap into place.

Roof slope selection is now better than ever. You can add line items to a single face or multiple faces. Simply select a roof face, add a line item, and the correct calculation for your selection is automatically provided.

Video capture

Take videos in Xactimate mobile to provide “the big picture,” connecting rooms and perspectives in a way that still images simply can’t. With HD video captured in 720p resolution, quality is high enough to extract stills.

November 2018

Custom albums

Photo albums are automatically generated when you create rooms and areas in sketch and list view. We’ve expanded this functionality to include a custom photo album feature so you can add photos to an estimate before creating a sketch.

Item attributes for contents

Select an item (such as a TV), then adjust attributes such as manufacturer size and resolution. Based on your input, Xactimate finds exactly what you need.

"Same as" option for addresses

To help you enter address information quickly, we’ve added a “same as” option that allows you to add repeat addresses to an estimate.

FEMA flood forms

Use an expanded suite of FEMA flood forms for increased control and flexibility so you can work on your FEMA claims wherever and however you need.

October 2018

Note line items

Add notes to an estimate without attaching them to items. This is handy for leaving a more visible note or comment that may apply across large segments of an estimate.

New types of dimensioned stairs

We’ve made sketching and measuring staircases easier by introducing more dimensioning options.
