Property Center update

After months of development and testing, I'm happy to announce that a new version of Property Center is available for immediate use. With this update, we tried to simplify things while adding additional features that we think you'll enjoy.
  1. A new look and feel
    • We hope you are as pleased with the new look and feel as we are. After you get familiar with the new navigation menu, we're confident you'll agree that it makes navigation much easier and quicker.
  2. Enhanced reports
    • Reports have been enhanced and additional reports have been added. The new income/expense report clearly shows the transaction details for each property now. You can also print an invoice that shows income/expenses for properties that you manage.
  3. Custom forms
    • All lease forms are fully editable now. You control the content of forms. So you can edit forms to cater to your business, delete unused forms, or create new forms. By default, your site is configured with the same forms as before: lease invoice, rental agreement, rules and regulations, and as various state specific forms.
  4. Custom pages
    • We made custom pages more flexible. You're no longer locked into fitting your content into modules. You can design the page content any way that you like now.
  5. Widgets
    • We have reorganized the menu structure and have created general "landing pages" for each major menu area. These landing pages can be fully customized, showing only the information that you're interested in. The information is organized as widgets and they can be dragged to the location on the page that works best for you. Widgets allow us to add additional functionality and views to the data without cluttering the primary site structure. Some widgets have additional options (for example: how many new items to show) that can be accessed by clicking the down arrow on widget. The landing pages are saved on a per user basis, so your layout does not affect the layout of other people in your organization. We'll be creating a short training video to help show off some of the things that can be accomplished with widgets and the landing pages.
  6. Translation
    • Property Center is in the process of being translated to French. We will be offering Spanish and German in the near future as well. If there is a specific language that you would like to see Property Center translated to, please let me know.
  7. Global addresses
    • To go along with translations, Property Center now supports property addresses and phone numbers for users outside of the US.
  8. Email
    • We've added two ways for you to send emails with Property Center. You can send emails to your tenants as well as other users of the system.
There are additional features that were added, but these cover the majority. I'm hoping to get the screenshots and training videos updated this weekend.
