NightHawk Frequently Asked Questions

What are the system requirements for Nighthawk?

  • Nighthawk is browser-based, meaning you will need to be connected to the Internet to log in and start a report. It is recommended to use Google Chrome. At this time we do not support Safari or Firefox. There are no restrictions on the kind of system you use as long as it can run a browser such as Chrome however it is strongly recommended to use larger screens or monitors when using Nighthawk.

How do I access Nighthawk?

  • In order to access Nighthawk you must first go to a training session. You can sign up for an AppraisalWorld account and Training here www.AppraisalWorld.com
  • Once you've gone through training, you will then receive units for use in Nighthawk, granting you access.
  • Support resources for Nighthawk can be found here: support.bradfordsoftware.com/nighthawk.html

Can I use my own MLS or am I restricted to what Nighthawk pulls in?

  • Yes, you can use your own MLS. Nighthawk will always attempt to pull in relevant public records and MLS information when starting a report. However, if you would prefer to use your own MLS data you can do so by exporting it from your MLS and uploading it into your report.

Is there Spark, Datamaster, or other MLS integration?

  • Not as of yet, but we are looking into supporting direct integration with third party data services and providers.

I work in a rural area where it's not always possible to get reliable public records data, can I still complete a report in Nighthawk? Is it possible to fill in all fields manually?

  • Yes, while Nighthawk imports publicly available data in order to help you fill out the report all fields can be filled in manually. The automation is there to assist but you have full control of all fields that will go into your report.

Are there saved comments, responses, and templates?

  • You can save your comments in NightHawk. Saved responses and the ability to use templates will be available in a future update.

Can I import my old XML files? Or import old saved comments and responses?

  • No. It's not recommended to re-use them as UAD 3.6 requires new inputs, previously saved comments and responses may not apply as they once did.

Is there a mobile app for Nighthawk?

Will there be sketcher integration?

  • We are planning to integrate with various sketchers. Our mobile application Fieldhawk also contains a built-in sketcher that will import directly into Nighthawk.
  • Currently you can export your sketch from any sketcher application and insert the sketch image into Nighthawk manually.

Can Nighthawk do UAD 2.6 reports or Non-Lender reports?

  • Currently Nighthawk is intended only for UAD 3.6 reports. In the future we plan to add support and integration options for a wider variety of reports including non-lender reports.
