What is a Digital Container?  
 
Our software is powered by Digital Container Technology. A container is the Extensible Markup Language (XML) based file that holds digital objects for display and manipulation in the Workspace.  
 
Inside a Digital Container  
 
Over 400 standard Appraisal forms can be added to your digital containers to create industry-wide compliant reports. The forms in your container support text formatting, mathematical variables and a wide variety of content. Digital images recognized by container technology include: photos, graphics, maps, sketches and scanned documents. The contents of a container may be edited, transmitted via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), printed, merged, cloned or archived for future reference. Below is an image of a Digital Container:

The Digital Container

 
All new empty containers are named "Untitled Container". Digital Containers allow multiple digital objects such as forms, text, images, etc. to be stored in one file or container. Within a container, these documents or objects can be viewed, edited and printed. Because all the objects are stored in one file, a container can be easily transmitted or archived and the forms or objects within secured from unauthorized tampering. Containers can also be merged so that documents processed by different departments or individuals can be combined for a final document. Our software enables appraisers and supervisors to certify paperless reports prior to submission by embedding digital signatures into their containers.
