Statistics for Community Page views |
| |
Whenever a community page is viewed (not in preview mode), the statistic is updated by 1. This is shown in the Private Office "Reports" page. |
 |
Merge "Scheduled Showings" and "Renter Registrations" |
| |
Since "Renter Registrations" is dependent on "Scheduled Showings", the "Renter Registrations" option is now merged onto one screen in "Set Up Features". This change is in private office and in ED. |
 |
Changes to Monthly Report |

The monthly report has been changed again to incorporate messages and to make some of the statistics clearer. |

New look for My Notebook |
| |
The "My Notebook" page has been overhauled with a new look and feel. Icons are now present for each feature that is in the "Notebook". |
 |
Skinned version of Application |
| |
Previously, in the skinned offices, when the user clicked to view an
application, an unskinned look of the application appeared. This is no
longer the case. The "download application" page now has a skinned
header. |
 |
Skinned version of Register for Showing |
| |
Previously in the skinned offices the user exited from the skinned look to an unskinned look when registering for a showing. This will no longer be the case. If a user is using the skinned version of a public office then the register for showing page should likewise be skinned. |
 |
New Available Skin |
| |
A new skin has been developed and made available to Enterprise users via the private office. This will also be used in an email blast that we will send out in September to drum up interest in the Skins product. |
 |
Community Page Events |
| |
If a community page has over 10 events, then the "next" and "previous" buttons will be used to control the display of the events compared to the current way, which displays all the events at once in a long list. |
 |
Search Agents Reinstatement |
| |
Search Agents is a feature that allows a user on Rentals.com to set up a search for properties and units and have the search run on a daily basis overnight, sending an email of any matches to the user. This is a feature seen on many websites and is useful in that it gets uses to come and see new listings that are added to the site that they otherwise might not see. |
 |
Increase window size for virtual tours |
| |
Window size of virtual tours was too small. Now has been increased to fit Apartment Guide tours. |
