Essential rules for any data entry To avoid duplication, always search your database before adding a new role - see Check for duplicates section below Always enter full name and contact details, including phone numbers and email addresses Keep the Key Contact name and Office up-to-date on all records Lots of information is automatically logged, but all records have an Activity Feed where journal entries can be manually added - see Add journal notes for information on how to do this on an applicant record Make sure you keep all records up-to-date as far as possible - if it isn’t in AgencyCloud, it didn’t happen! |
Check for duplicates
All applicants (including single property enquiries) should be entered, checking for duplicates prior to adding
1. Search database Using Universal Search is recommended, as this searches the whole of your Reapit database e.g. applicants, vendors, landlords, contact records, etc. From the main menu: Click Universal Search
(magnifying glass top left of main menu) Enter the applicant surname or part address (e.g. postcode), click the search icon or press enter A list of matching records are shown, click to view the record on the right
|  | Info |
|---|
Using a postcode to search will find other people at the same address regardless of surname |
|
2. Add new If the required person is found - see 2a If not found, add a new record, as follows At the bottom of the main menu: |  | Tip |
|---|
You may be presented with a further check on email/phone number to double-check the applicant doesn’t already have a contact record on the system |
|
2a. Required person already on system? If they have an applicant record: If they do not have an applicant record: Open their contact record In the bottom right section, the Activity section displays the contact's current roles Click  and select Sales or Lettings/Rentals Applicant, as required
A new applicant record will be created, using details already entered from the contact record | Info |
|---|
Every person added to the system is given a contact record - this holds all universal information for that person, such as their name, contact details, address, marketing consent information When updating contact details via a role record (e.g. applicant record) the contact record is updated plus any other role records the contact has |
|

2. Enter details | Note |
|---|

|  |
3. Update last/next call dates |  |
...
Use next call date
...
& archive settings
The Next call date and Archive field should be checked and kept up to date
 |
Next call After entering a journal note, a prompt will be displayed to update the Last/next call dates (see previous section); this results in the applicant appearing in the Organiser screen on the next call date as a reminder to call the applicant again (in the Applicants to call section, see following section on the Organiser) The next call date can also be entered manually - think of this as your 1-31 follow-up system
|
Archive in x weeks This field is normally set to 12 weeks when the applicant is first registered and reduces each week that they are on the system Once they reach 0 weeks, the applicant will appear on the Organiser in the Applicants to remove section and will remain there until they are archived (by you) or given another period of time on the system - this is done by highlighting the existing number and over-typing with the updated number of weeks (also determined by you) The same process applies when the revised number of weeks reaches 0 Checking and updating this section each time a journal entry is added will avoid applicants falling into the Applicants to Remove section
|
