Xactimate questions / Estimating workflow

How can an Xactimate Mobile estimate be shared or exported?

Plan Xactimate Mobile report, photo, and project handoffs according to recipient, format, and company procedure.

01

The practical answer

Xactimate Mobile supports project completion and report or media sharing workflows, but the correct method depends on what the recipient needs, account permissions, project status, platform, and company rules. Confirm the current export steps and inspect the output before sending it.

02

Why this matters in a real field file

A successful export does not guarantee a useful handoff. The recipient may need a report, photographs, an editable project, or a specific internal transfer. Sending the wrong format can strip context or create duplicate versions.

  • Identify the recipient and required format
  • Confirm project and permission requirements
  • Generate or export the intended output
  • Open and inspect the result
  • Use an approved transfer method
  • Record which version was sent

How Parrot Key teaches it

Parrot Key training includes a handoff drill in which another person opens the delivered file and verifies that the expected sketch, estimate, notes, and photographs are actually present.
