Points to consider before adding a new office

Portal/branch ID
You need to request the portal/branch ID for the new office from your from your portal providers (specifically the major portals, i.e. Rightmove, Zoopla, OTM) - generally, other portals make use of the Rightmove portal/branch ID
Once the portal/branch ID is entered into the codes field in the Setup Offices screen, the feeds will pick up the relevant properties

Templates
Do you have templates which are office specific? Most templates will use generic merge codes to pick up details entered via this screen
You may have pre-printed stationery which will need to be re-ordered

Security
By default, offices will inherit your company level security model
Contact Reapit Support if this is does not apply to your new office

Staff
Do you need to create new negotiators? Or move negotiators to this office, along with their associated data? See this guide for advice:
Add a new user, remove a user and transfer data between users

Book a viewing or valuation online
If you make use of Reapit Online, you will need to raise a request via the Service Portal when needing a new office to be set up
New offices are not identified via Reapit Online

Areas
Will your office need any additional areas - or will they use what is currently available to your other offices? If new areas are needed, these will need to be requested - for more information, see these guides:
Area change requests - add/remove an area
Draw map areas for use in AgencyCloud
