Each Property is allocated a Property Area. This is used to group Properties for the purpose of Applicant Matching e.g. a Applicant may only be interested in Properties in a particular village.
Areas are not specifically linked to Postcodes it is possible to group a number of towns/villages/regions under a single Property Area. The way that Property Areas are configured will depend on the area range your agency covers.
Property Areas can be accessed from File -> Configuration ->Properties -> Property Areas
New Areas can be created at any time and there is no limit to the number of Areas defined. If a new Area is created then existing Contacts will have it included on their Property Requirements tab.
Property Areas can also be grouped to create a hierarchical level setup. There is no limit to the number of levels but an Area can only be linked once.
Example:
London
Chelsea
Kensington
Acton
Slough
Maidenhead
Overseas
Spain
Barcelona
Madrid
France
Paris
Lyon
The lookup table supports drag and drop so you can simply drag between Property Areas and Groups when you are setting up your Property Areas.
