Password Validation
Website
After a password is set or reset for a partner employee, the employee is required to enter a new password the next time they access the website. To ensure this integration is set up properly, log into the company’s ResWare website with the username and password created in the prior step and create a new password. Provide this new password to ShortTrack.
Note: It may be beneficial to set the expiration date of this password out for an extended period of time on the partner employee setup. Check with company-specific password security protocols to verify this will be acceptable or have a reminder in place to update this password as needed to ensure this integration’s service will not be interrupted.
NOTE: Provide the Username and Password to ShortTrack.
Resware DocumentTypeID Report
ShortTrack needs IDs to send documents to files. The following steps will generate reports to easily provide this information.
Admin/Document and Templates/Document Types
- Verify the DocumentTypeID column is visible. If not, right click in the grid, select Show Column, and add DocumentTypeID.
- Right click in the grid and select View as Report.
- Once the report opens, click Export in the Report Viewer taskbar.
- Select Excel, then Data dump to generate an Excel spreadsheet that can be customized to return only documents directly related to integration needs and allow ShortTrack to import the report.
NOTE: For ShortTrack to fetch documents, the document types must not be marked Internal or Secured.
Receiving a New Order
Through this integration, a realtor can create a new order from within their own software such as dotLoop, Docusign Transactions Rooms, or zipForms. The new order will be created in Resware using the default transaction and product type set with ShortTrack. Once the file is created in Resware, a user could modify the file if a different transaction/product type is needed. There is also an option to receive an order notification which will direct a user to log into ShortTrack’s portal to accept a pending order or choose to enter the data manually in Resware. The user would also have an option to link an existing Resware order to a pending order in ShortTrack. Discuss new order options with ShortTrack directly. An external trigger, File Created, may be added to the action workflow when orders are received. For further information on adding to the action workflow, see the additional articles available on the customer portal.
