Add a commercial EPC - configuration option

This guide has been reviewed against our global client base and classed as relevant to all regions

A configuration option is available which allows EPC information for commercial properties to be added and an EPC graph image created - certificate details can also be stored and related documents uploaded

Creating an EPC graph image automatically adds the image to the property pictures gallery to allow it to be included on property details and uploaded to portals

Commercial EPCs can also be reported on and information on the commercial EPC seen in property report results grids and property grids accessed via the Organiser

To enable this configuration option, click here to contact Reapit Support
