I’m curious if it would be possible at all to make a check box or something along those lines that would ensure that the iGuide reports are not sent out as soon as the draft/virtual tours are ready.
We recently moved towards outsourcing our photo edits and we’re now sending out reports without our photos attached. This causes a ripple effect of confusion and communication that could all be avoided if we had the capability to say “I will manually send this report out”.
What I do now is not add the agent banner when creating the iGUIDE. Once it’s completed and everything is ready, I add the banner and manually send out the iGUIDE Report.
There is a button during drafting that indicates who to send the report to. I think it’s under iGUIDE people. If you added the banner, just I click the box for automatically sending to the banner’s e-mail. You can still add the full banner as well as add them to receive analytics. In my process that simply leaves me to receive it, and then I review, edit if necessary and send the report to my clients.
I recently recommended a correspondence tracking ability in Portal that will allow us to see emails sent on our behalf to editors and clients. I hope this gets added.
