• Use the Sales, Lettings, Applicants & Valuations tick boxes (top left) to filter the information shown in the screen - these settings will be stored for your login

2a. Tips on using the Internet Registrations screen

• Entries are grouped by default, this can be disabled by unticking Grouping (top left), entries are grouped by:

  • position (applicant/valuation)

  • type (sales/lettings)

  • e-mail (or if no e-mail address present, grouping is done by name)

• If duplicates are found, these are noted in the Duplicates column

• Click the column headings to sort the information
  For example, click the Source column to sort by website or click to the right of the column heading for options to group or filter

• Refresh (top right) can be used to ensure that the latest enquiries are shown - useful if the screen has been open for some time

3. Adding an applicant/valuation request

From the Internet Registrations screen:

• Select the relevant enquiry and click Add 
  The search screen is displayed with the email address and/or number of the lead in the search fields

• Click Search
  If the applicant is already on the system, the record will be launched automatically

• If no results are found, click Yes to add new - a new record is displayed

  • Information is taken from the original enquiry and added to the appropriate fields - this should be checked and edited as needed

  • When adding an applicant, the option to match the applicant to the property they enquired about will be offered - this logs the property in the applicant journal as a hand-match
    

4. Rejecting an enquiry

If a request cannot be added (for example, if a valuation request is out of area):

• Select the request then click Reject by E-mail
  The enquiry is removed from the Internet Registrations screen and a new email message addressed to the requestor is created; the email contains default text which can be edited

Where a request can be identified as spam (i.e. unsolicited bulk email):

• Select the request then click Spam
  All instances of this email will be removed from the Internet Registrations screen
