Properties & Units Globals Settings

This article will go over the Global Settings for Properties & Units within the Rentvine Software.

The Properties & Units Settings give you the option to adjust the Custom Features, Property Groups, Marketing Documents and Settings, Utilities, and the Tenants Liability Insurance Providers.
To get started, click your initials at the top right and click 'Settings' > and here you can see the Properties & Units Settings.

The Custom Property Feature allows you to add new custom features under properties features section. To find this section, you can click on the Property specifically and select the Marketing tab. You can then scroll down until you see the Property Features section.
To add a new Property Feature, you can go to the Custom Property Feature setting. From here you can click the green button labeled '+ New Property Feature'
Here you can enter the Category this feature would fall under and its own Custom Name.
You can also toggle if this Custom Property feature is a Key Feature or not.

The property categories are:

Kitchen
Flooring
Rooms
Amenities
Outdoor
Community

In this example, you can see we made a new Custom Property Feature for the Kitchen as Marble Counter Tops and this is a Key Feature.
This will now show for each property that you can toggle on or off.

You can also create Custom Property Feature directly from the same screen by selecting the Category and clicking 'Add Feature'

Properties groups are used to categorize certain properties for filtering and report purposes. You will be able to click the filter icon from the main properties tab and filter by all of the properties associated with a property group. You can also add property groups as filters and columns on all property/unit reports.
To create a Property Group and add properties to the group, go to the settings page (click on the ellipsis next to your name in the lower left corner of the page and select Settings)
Next, select Property Groups
In the property groups page click on Add Group

Check the boxes of the properties you would like to add to the group and then click Next

Another way to add a property to a group is...

Search for the specific property you want to add into a group.
The next step it to go into the details tab inside of that property. Scroll down until you see a box labeled "Groups" towards the bottom. In the top right of that box click on "Add Group".
This will pull up a menu that will have a dropdown. In the drop down you will be able to type whatever group you have previously created. Make sure after selecting a group that you press the green add group button to save.
