well. Refinish Materials Rate ■ Know at a glance what method of refinish was used
in the calculation of the estimate because it now prints on the estimate.
Supplement History - When you retrieve an estimate for supplementation, you are
notified if it has already been checked out. The notification also identifies the users
who have checked out the estimate. You can then continue with or cancel estimate
retrieval. The first estimate returned to the Mitchell host is saved. Company Data -
You can create multiple company names as required by your business needs. The
name you select in the Company Data dialog box becomes the default company
name which will appear on your all of your estimate reports. In addition, UltraMate
has a blank company name record that you can select for your default company
name in case you need to leave your company name off of the header of your
printed estimate reports. Spanish Language Printing - You can select to print
estimate reports and view field labels in Spanish. Additional Equipment Printing -
All items in the Option■s tab Additional Equipment field prints on the estimate
report. Copy Name/Address information for Insured, Owner, Claimant, and

modified profile appears on the estimate report with the judgment item asterisk.
Paint and Materials Rate - When Rates is the selected Paint/Material calculation
method, the initial rate per hour, maximum hours at that rate, and additional rate
per hour print on the estimate. When Percent Multipler is the selected
Paint/Material calculation method, the percentage used to calculate the dollar
amount for materials prints on the estimate report. 2.0 Live Remote Assistance For
quick solutions to technical problems, a member of our support team can view your
desktop and share control of your mouse and keyboard to get you on your way to a
solution with our live remote-assistance tool. A member of our support team will
need to speak with you first to determine the nature of the problem. Once this is
determined, a member of our support team will direct you to the links below or the
links located within the Help. Internal Support: Field Support:
[http://field.mitchell.com](http://field.mitchell.com/) 3.0 Definitions Judgment Item
"*" Definition Any information entered by the estimator is marked with an asterisk
(*) to indicate estimator's judgment. Estimator■s judgment is defined as any
user-determined value that they have entered (i.e., the value does not come from
the Mitchell database.) An asterisk prints next to the judgment item on the estimate
report. When the estimate is calculated, the repair line information is combined
with profile and Procedure Page information to generate the estimate total. 3.1
UltraMate Distribution UltraMate DVDs are distributed on a regular basis, 11 to 15
times per year. While every effort is made to distribute the updates on a regular
monthly interval, numerous factors influence the preparation of the DVD, such as
the incorporation of part price updates and the addition of new model information.
Therefore, delivery times of UltraMate DVDs may vary. 3.2 OEM Part Prices
Mitchell receives parts pricing updates periodically from many OEM sources. Each
of these sources may change their parts prices at any time during a month or year.
Mitchell makes every effort possible to provide the most current and updated
information to the customer. However, there may be times when Mitchell has
received updated pricing after the UltraMate DVD has been produced and shipped.
Therefore, the new pricing will have to be included in a future release. It is always
advisable to check with your local OEM parts source before committing your
estimate and ordering parts if there is any uncertainty as to the accuracy of the
parts pricing information. 3.3 UltraMate 7.1 Installation Requirements -
"Administrator Rights" Please check to make sure you have Administrator rights
before you install UltraMate 7.1. If you are not sure, please review your company
policy regarding Administrator rights or contact your system administrator
(insurers) or technical support person (shops). 3.4 Mulituser Notes and Information
Review the UltraMate system requirements. Visit
[www.mitchell.com/support](http://www.mitchell.com/support). Click Product
Resources, and then click UltraMate Premier Suite 7, eClaim. ■ DVD All UltraMate
workstations require access to the UltraMate DVD for service data and monthly
updates. ■ Printer Sharing Conventional Windows printer shares can be applied.

new categories have been added for remanufactured, reconditioned parts.
Electrical (RE) has been added to support electronic parts such as radios,
amplifiers, and displays. Misc Lamps (RE) has been added to support lamp
assemblies such as fog, driving, and marker. Note: To activate new suppliers or
make any other changes to your MAPP matrix, call Customer Service at (800)
448-4401. Please have your company code and matrix name available. 4.5 Special
Programs What are special supplier part price and/or service level agreements
within MAPP? Agreements may be made between MAPP suppliers and their
customers relative to special pricing/service/warranty programs. Suppliers offering
these types of programs are identified within the "Special Programs" supplier
Listing within the MAPP Matrix Manager. They are identified with the indicator
unique to each customer/supplier as part of the supplier name/contact information.
These programs are specific to those suppliers and customers who have the
agreements. If you have selected a "Special Programs" supplier, be sure to
communicate which program you are referencing when calling to order parts or
verify part pricing from this supplier. MAPP suppliers agree to honor the pricing
provided to MAPP. However, many suppliers who provide multiple levels of pricing
may quote only standard pricing, unless you qualify your inquiry as a special
program application. Your identification of Special Program utilization will minimize
the opportunity for part price variances between estimate results and live calls for
quotes or parts procurement. The table below provides the current listing of these
special programs: ACG Auto Club Group AMPP Aftermarket Parts Program AQRP

and Workarounds 5.1 Modems If your PC has a software-based modem (aka
win-modem) installed or an external modem using the USB port, the UltraMate
Host Communications can be problematic to set up. Using a different modem for
host communications will resolve the problem. UltraMate will use modems
configured to use COM ports 1, 2, 3, or 4. If a modem can be configured to use one
of those ports, there is a good chance that the modem can be used for UltraMate
host communications. 5.2 ServiceMate - Copying Vehicle Services The standard
procedure for downloading on all services is checking the box at the end of the
install/update process. This will automatically launch the ServiceMate utility.
However, if you do not check the Copy Services box to download all services, use
ServiceMate to copy select services. At the end of the install/update procedure,
launch ServiceMate separately and then copy select Services. 5.3
Communications Dialog Sometimes Gets Hidden During Host Communications,
the UltraMate Window will go to the background. If other applications are open,
they will come to the foreground and sometime block the Host Communications
dialog from view.■■This does not happen all the time, but does happen on
occasion. This is because when UltraMate launches the WebCom application,
focus is sent to the WebCom application.■■UltraMate will block itself while
WebCom is running.■■When WebCom finishes, Windows will sometimes give
focus to another application.■■UltraMate then tries to force itself to the
front.■■The following OS's, Windows 2000, XP, and up, no longer allow the API to
move windows back to the front of the z-order.■■When the code attempts to move
a window to the foreground, the Operating System will instead cause the
application to flash in the task bar.■■ This is the desired effect from Microsoft. 6.0
Database Changes 6.1 Assemblies Time Guide (ATG) Database If you are not
able to access ATG information for a vehicle, the following explanations should be
noted: \- The vehicle may be too new to contain ATG data. \- ATG data is
accessible from the OEM parts lister screen only (the Reference Sheet or Long
Expansion screen will not provide ATG data). \- The vehicle was selected using the
service barcode method. 7.0 General Release Notes Special Pricing/Service
Merchandising Parts Program: As described below, certain replacement parts are
included in the General Motors Goodwrench Service Merchandising Parts (GSMP)
Program or the Mopar Competitive Crash Parts Program. The Mitchell product
displays these parts by a "special pricing" note in the detail window. When a zero
price is required by a manufacturer, the system displays these parts with a zero
price and a "price not available" footnote on the status bar. Goodwrench Service
Merchandising Parts (GSMP) Program: Parts included in this program may not
have a manufacturer's suggested retail price. The price shown, in some instances,
is an approximation that you may find helpful. The actual price may be higher or
lower and can be determined by contacting your local dealer. Mopar Competitive
Crash Parts Program: Parts included in this program may be available with special
pricing. Additional purchase discounts may apply. See your Chrysler Corporation
dealership for availability and participation. Dealers are not required to adhere to
suggested prices and are free to set their own prices for parts. Vehicle Data ACV
Amount: When a vehicle is identified using either Assisted Vehicle Selection or VIN
decode, a guide book value (retail base value for newer models and low base
value for older models) will automatically display in the ACV field. This value is
provided only as a basis for deciding whether further investigation of the vehicle's
adjusted actual cash value may be necessary to evaluate the feasibility of repairing
the vehicle. This value should not be used to declare the vehicle a total loss.
Adjustments for mileage, vehicle options, etc., are not reflected in this value. This
value may be overwritten as necessary and does not print on the estimate report.
The ACV field will remain blank if no guide book value is available for the vehicle.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of


electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit


501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,


Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up

Section 4. Information about Donations to the


Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without


widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project


Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
