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

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:

• Click Add New

• Select New Applicant and select Sales or Lettings/Rentals, as appropriate

2a. Required person already on system?

If they have an applicant record:

• Open their applicant record and work through the following sections to check all required data is entered

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

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

All applicants who have been identified as a potential client (i.e. a potential vendor) should always have:

• A valid/future Next call date set on their applicant record
  This ensures they are kept in the list of Applicants to Call on the Organiser - see following section on using the Organiser to manage applicants
  

• A property record created as a Pre Appraisal property
  From the applicant record, click ellipsis (…), hover over Duplicate Applicant and select As Vendor

A property record is created for the potential vendor
Set the status to Pre-Appraisal and add any other relevant information as well as updating the Next
Call date (as done on the applicant record)

Reporting on Pre Appraisal properties will allow you to see a list of potential business for your office

• Use the Organiser to check for Applicants to Call and Applicants to Remove
