About Rentals Inc.     FAQ     What's New
3.0.4 release (7/11/2001)
General
InfoPages
  The search system has been augmented with the use of hierarchical structured pages allowing users to navigate to certain cities to find listings there.
Skins/Custom Look and Feel
  Additional testing and re-work has been done on this system, whichis now ready for release.
Community Page Custom Links
  Community Page users can now select to add more links to their community page and have them appear in the "in the neighborhood" section.
Verifacts Enhancements
  A number of enhancements were implemented to the Verifacts reporting systems to fully integrate with new functions provided by the Verifacts.
Public Office Statistics do not tally correctly
  Change, check, and tally system in the statistics package to allow correct tallying of the data. Now the statistics are tallied for properties and units that were on the market for some period during the selected reporting period rather than only for units currently on the market.
Number of applications downloaded to be tallied
  Implemented new statistic rather than the "online applications" statistic. This newstatistic tallies the number of times an application form is downloaded.
 
Private Office
Notification
  The notification system has now been implemented allowing a property owner/manager to send notification of changes made on the Rentals.com site to other services.
Monthly Reports
  The monthly fax report is ready to be run and after it has undergone some limited testing during July we will be running this for the first time on August 1st, 2001.
Create skinned version of community pages
  Community pages now can be skinned to match their owning offices.
Add descriptive text to Enable Online Application Page
  Added additional descriptive text to the Online Application feature.
Feedback to PO Fax needs to be updated
  Updated the Feedback to Private Office Fax to the new format. All faxes bar the application fax have had the new format applied to them. The application fax will happen in the next release.
Replace Kodak with a home grown image management solution
  Replaced Kodak with own, homegrown image upload solution. Now we can upload up to 64 images. This image solution is far more efficient than the Kodak solution and also it is fully under our control as to how we develop it further.
 
Renter Side
Email from publicoffice to be handled by website
  Previously the email address was shown for the property allowing users to use their own email client like Outlook and Netscape to do the emailing. That lost us hit point and branding. Now this has been changed to use a Rentals web page that will send the email instead.
Add new amenities
  Added amenities "Gated Community", "Tennis Courts", "Gas Heat" in the system at all property levels. Altered "Patio" to be "Patio/Balcony".
Make Downloadable applications non-login
  Previously a downloaded application required login by the renter. That seemed unnecessary, so now, if the office chooses the custom application, users don't need to log in to get it.
