Work with Forms Individually or grouped by Transaction
All users of the service are given the ability to work with forms individually without having to start a transaction each time they want to create a form or they can create transactions where by all of the forms created are grouped and associated by each transaction created.

Instant Load for Dial-up Internet users:
CDM has developed a process that accelerates the service by up to 1000%.  Members can run the INSTANT LOAD service to pre-load the form/contract templates locally to speed the physical loading of contracts and forms to the browser.  Instead of having to download the contract template through the internet each time a member accesses a contract, the INSTANT LOAD service will load the template instantly from the local hard drive saving valuable time. Members using dialup modems to access the internet will be able to run the service as if they were connected by a T1 connection.

Kick Start Forms:
Members who choose to work with individual forms can auto-populate forms with data from any other form that they have previously created. For example:
If a user wishes to start a new addendum form, they can select a previously created contract that may contain the contact and/or property information that can be used to auto-populate the new addendum form.

Complete History of all activity for each contract/form including:
Creation Date
Revision history – past and present input field values
Access history – dates and by whom if contract has been enabled to be remotely edited through the on-line email negotiation system
Remote access information including changes made to input fields along with previous values, name, dates and times revisions were made to the form

User selectable Font selections:
Select any one of 14 different font styles (Courier, Helvetica, Times, etc…)
Select any one of 8 fixed font sizes
Select Auto-Font size which allows text to be dynamically fit into the input area of a form allowing for extra text to be inserted when required without altering the layout of the form
Select any one of 8 font colors for text input

Watermarks:
Ability to apply and remove different watermarks to all forms created within the service.

Advanced Email capabilities:
Create and Send Html based emails from our email servers to provide the ability to negotiate contracts on-line
Email recipients who cannot read HTML email messages sent via our web-based email system will automatically receive text based emails containing the same contract information.
Send contracts via email to remote users in a read-only state.
Send contracts via email to remote users in an editable state
Remote users can be given the ability to input data into the contract input fields and all information is stored in the sender’s account. No information is stored or left on the remote user’s computer. This allows for secure on-line contract negotiation.
As soon as a remote email is opened the sender is immediately sent an email notification that the remote email recipient has received and successfully opened the emailed contract information.
Send complete transactions and all associated contracts for remote viewing or editing.
Send partial transactions where users can choose to email only selected forms associated to a transaction for remote viewing and/or editing
Email notification of remote contract activity:
Email sent notifying sender that the remote contract has been successfully opened.
Email sent each time changes are made to the contract by the recipient
Email sent if the remote contract is printed along with changes made to the contract

Office Management Capabilities:
Brokers and/or administrators are assigned supervisory privileges for their offices. They will have the ability to access contracts and forms belonging to agents in their office. This enables offices to remotely administer contracts and forms for their agents. Agents will be able to access these new or updated contracts from their own accounts. It also provides a way for agents to present their contracts to their offices for approval and/or acceptance in real time without having to fax or courier contracts.

Customized Company Logos:
All members have the ability to have their own corporate logo placed on each of the forms.

Offline Archive Feature:
All contracts and forms can be archived in a compressed password protected pdf document for offline storage or for import into the desktop version of the service.

Form Factory Feature:
Users can select any or all of the associated contracts in a transaction and the service will process and create 1 pdf document containing all of the contracts in a transaction. The resulting document can be used to print all of the associated contracts in a transaction with one click of the mouse or can simply be saved locally to the user’s computer for archiving purposes.

Clause Databases:
Members have the ability to insert clauses from either one of two different clause databases into their contracts and forms.
System Clause Database - this database is the database of clauses provided by the Association/Board/MLS. Members can access and insert the clauses into their forms but cannot edit the on-line database.
Personal Clause Database – this database is a private collection of personal clauses input by each member. Members can maintain this list of clauses and use them to auto-populate their contracts and forms.

Contact Databases:
Members have the ability to insert contacts from their own personal on-line contact database into their contracts and forms.
If available the on-line service can be modified to read and use contact databases located in a user’s MLS service if applicable

Import and Export Contracts:
The INSTANET FORMS service can import and export contracts and forms with the INSTANET FORMS distributed disk based program. Contracts can be started on either service and be seamlessly interchanged between the two programs. This gives realtors the ability to work on contracts either on-line or offline anywhere, anytime.

Quick Start Form Groups:
Users can pre-select and define their own common groups of forms to help expedite the process of creating and auto-populating transactions. Instead of a user having to manually select each form to be created and associated to a transaction they simply select the Quick Start Form group of their choice. All of the pre-selected forms defined in the Quick Start Form Group are created and auto-populated with the transaction data.

Automatic Contract and Form Updates:
CDM guarantees that any contract and form revisions will be made available to all members within 48 hours after receiving them. Members that use the INSTANT LOAD service will be alerted they must run the INSTANT LOAD service again to update the contract templates located on their hard drives.

XML interface:
The INSTANET FORMS service has built in XML support to read and write data to external data sources. This ability enables the INSTANET FORMS service to talk to any web-based data source allowing for the auto-input of data from 3rd party vendors such as MLS services and eTransaction services.
