Overview
DataTrace by First American provides a property search service called DataTree that, when an order is placed, will return the parcel ID and a brief legal description of the property, the tax area, zoning, land use, and county use information. In addition, new settings can be enabled which will allow a web user to generate a property profile report without having to go to the public records website directly.

The resulting fields will be populated from public records:

- Parcel ID #2 will be populated with the primary property’s tax area.
- The Short Legal area will be populated with the primary property’s brief legal description.

NOTE: When the order is placed in Resware, this integration will not overwrite and populate Parcel ID #1, Parcel ID #2, or the Short Legal fields if a user entered information in any of these fields during the order placement. Only empty fields will be populated with available information.
