Description

Xactimate X1: Getting Started is the first, in a series of courses, being developed on X1 Desktop!  If you are switching to Xactimate X1, or learning to use Xactimate for the first time, Xactimate X1: Getting Started is where you begin!

No experience necessary.  In this first overview course, we start at the login screen and dive into the new version, Xactimate X1.  In this course, we use the desktop platform, meaning it’s installed on your computer.  You may see it referred to as Xactimate X1 Desktop.  Of course, if you are using the online version, you may see it referred to as New Xactimate Online.

Attention New Users, this is where you begin.  It’s the introductory course helping your navigate your way around Xactimate X1.  In subsequent courses, currently in development, we will go deeper into Sketch, Estimating, etc.  However, this intro course will help you get started learning your way around Xactimate X1.

If you are an Experienced Xactimate user, version 28 or earlier, this 80-minute course will help you transition to the new version.
