Virtual Assistant Accounts for TrueTracts
Important: This feature is only available for use with TrueTractsPro.
About Virtual Assistant Accounts
Virtual Assistant accounts offer limited access within TrueTracts Pro, giving assistants access to the Grid Cleanup tab. Assistants can help with data entry and grid cleanup, and—if the appraiser requests it—can also export the session to Spark (Import Comps With Spark button on Grid Cleanup tab), add subject and comps data, then import it back to TrueTracts for final cleanup.
Appraisers will need to share session links directly for assistants to access them, these will not be visible to the assistant on the Dashboard. Any grid updates made by the assistant are automatically saved and visible to the appraiser when they reopen the session.
If you created the wrong account type or need full TrueTracts access, you can manage your account in the Profile screen (located in the upper-right corner, also where Spark linking is set up).
