Minimum Year Field for the Appraisal Data Import
As of the 8.0.50.14 release, the field Minimum Import Year for CAD is new in the Appraisal Import dialog box and the Appraisal Import CAD Configuration dialog box. When a file contains data prior to the year a tax office specifies in this field, PACS imports data only for the year specified in this field, which must match the year specified in the Year field. For supplemental imports, PACS imports data for the year specified in this field and any years following. Setting the minimum import year can be useful for preventing your office from importing unwanted supplemental data from previous years.
