1. Match button

From the applicant:

  • Click the Match button (top left)

2. Filter list

The match figures are presented as a filter list, allowing you to see how the properties have been matched along with the option to alter how many properties are shown in the match list (see step 3)

  • The total number of Properties on System is shown first

  • Department/Available/Price is, out of the total number, properties that match in the same department, that are active and where the price matches the applicant price range

  • The next set of tick boxes (Rooms to Acreage) relates to the Attributes Requirements set on the property & applicant - use the tick boxes to exclude any option from the match

  • Use the 3 4 tick boxes at the bottom of the screen to alter who is matched
    e.g. untick Exclude previous matches to include properties with a price reduction (that still match)

When you are happy with the Total number of matches shown at the bottom of the screen:

  • Click Accept

3. Match results

The matched properties are shown in a grid:

  • Use the up/down arrows on your keyboard to check the matched properties

  • If you do not wish to include a property in the match, press delete (or x) on your keyboard
    This puts an x to the left of the property (as shown for 2 properties above) and updates the total count at the top of the screen - press delete/x again to put the property back into the match

  • If you want to add a property to the list, click + Add (top left) to search for the property record

  • Click Applicant Preview which allows the list of properties to be displayed in a format suitable for showing applicants
    i.e. large property pictures, property description, no vendor/landlord details, shortcuts to view map, run slideshow and access full property details

  • Right-clicking over a property offers shortcut options to Create Viewing or View/Prepare Details

  • To email the applicant with details of the matched properties - click Print - see step 4
