Feature Requests
Welcome Rex Users!
Let us know what you really want out of the system you use in your businesses every day!
Please include as much detail as possible about what the feature is and how the feature would make your life easier – this will encourage other rex users to vote for your request rather than creating a duplicate idea. The more votes you get the quicker your idea will come to our attention :)
How it works:
- You can add as many new ideas here as you like but each new idea that you add will cost you one of your votes.
- You have ten votes to use. You can distribute these however you like with a maximum of 3 on any single item. You can remove a vote if you change your mind and put it elsewhere.
- If you have voted on an item that is then implemented, you will get those votes back to use again.
Remember – no request is too small :)
Happy voting!

Contacting all clients who have inspected a property borne via private inspections and open homes through bulk txt messages in pocket
I’d love to see the ability to contact all clients to inspected a property both via open homes and private inspections throughout the sales campaign in one easy text message rather than have to get to a desktop

Search for contacts by entering the Street they live in.
When searching for a contact and you can't recall their name but know the street they live in, this would make life a lot easier!
Also it helps when informing contacts loaded in REX in the immediate area of a listing to let them know a home near them is on the market.7 votes -
Delete Bulk Events - Open Homes
Seeing as we are able to upload recurring open home times - shouldnt there be a way to delete the recurring? At the moment you have to manually go in and delete every event individually. Can we have an option to be able to select the events in one go and remove them?

quick ad feature on home screen
Quick Ad/send feature on the Home Screen:
At the moment there is no quick ad button on the home screen that will allow me to shortcut to adding a new contact or appointment. it should be the easiest thing to access so we don't resort to just saving contacts and appointments in other apps on our phone.

Prioritise tasks/reminders on each property/listing/contact and filter on dashboard
As you can only do one job at a time, it would be more efficient to find the most pressing job/task in order on the dashboard. Therefore we need the ability to number each tasks. So when tasks are loaded from the track they are already in order of priority. Then when they are seen on the dashboard there is another order of priority mixed with other listings/contacts/properties. Therefore we need the ability to filter by track and also listing/property/contact.
6 votesYou can now custom reorder reminders as part of the Enhanced Reminders release.

Ability to send custom automatic replies to email enquiries/leads from REA, Domain etc
We would like to be able to set up custom automatic replies for each listing to be sent to email enquiries/leads from online portals. During busier periods we find it hard to keep up with all the property enquiries and this would ensure everyone gets a helpful response from us instantly and then from there we can also call later on certain people who have provided a number and we would like to speak to as well as people who have asked a more specific question that wasn't answered in the automatic reply. The automatic reply is more for the…
70 votesWe released the leads autoresponder in 2022 which allows you to automatically respond to all enquiries from within the CRM. This is supported by customisable templates which let you include as much about the listing as you like.

Key register report to include Sold properties
Would love the key register report to also include Sold properties. Sometimes we hold keys for sold properties and without the ability to search for these, we have to have a paper based log. Thanks! Natasha Oxley, Eview Mt Eliza.

Differentiating contacts with same name when sending an email
When typing writing a new email, and you have multiple clients with the same name, you cant tell which one you want to choose. I propose having the email address as well as the client name come up in the 'To' bar when searching a client name.
7 votesThank you for the feedback. Pleased to report that the “to” field in the email dialog now shoes emails (as well as other data). Many fields in the system now support this new & improve contact selection experience as well.

Search by Postal address
Can you please add the feature Search by Postal Address of a contact in the database. It would be a huge time saver as to the roundabout method I have to use now when I know the address and cant remember the people's names. I am sure we all suffer from that issue. Ultimately this added feature would save a lot of embarrassment.

PS Is it also possible to add a little text to the fields that is the name of the field we are entering the information on? I have only just realised that the field I am…7 votesAs part of our global search overhaul, we introduced the ability to be able to search by a contact's address and their postal address!

Merge Field - Events - OFI Details - Date and Time
Dear REX, as discussed 8/5/18, there is no merge field for Open Home details, eg 'date and time'. We email our Vendors from REX (listing>merge>send email>select template), however there is no option to include a merge field for OFI details. If the details (date and time) of future open homes would pull through, it would save time on the hundreds of emails each week (between our 3 offices) by eliminating the data entry double handling. Please make this merge available. Thank you in advance.
6 votesGood news: we have recently added extra merge tags to accommodate this.

Tracks - Being able to choose the order of the reminders within the track
We would like to use the tracks as a checklist in listings and currently they can't go in any order.. Having that option is a crucial factor.

Ability to present different Agents Commission structures
Hi,
we like most agencies have many agents, who all have different commission structures. We also sell different products where the commissions rates vary.
Is there a way to pre-load these commission structures that would be like the pre-set agency commission, so that these important fees are set once and then just selected by the Administrator with no room for errror.13 votesYou can now set the default commission amount for an agent under Settings > Commissions > Agent Defaults!
In addition you can set up default Commission Structures for things like packages offered by your agency.

Statement Of Information
As a CAV requirement for all VICTORIAN residential properties, i feel that the listing should not be able to be uploaded to any portal until the Statement of Information document is uploaded, saved and made public.
This will assist in meeting our requirements4 votesWe made changes a while ago that ensure a Statement of Information is required before listings can be published in Victoria

First name default for Vendor Reports
It would be great if the Vendor Reports were set to default to a First Name only. They currently default to Full Name.
It's better for privacy if the First Name is set as a default for these.

Related Contacts
When adding related contacts to a property record, it would be nice to have a flexible option (at present only owner, past owner, tenant or past tenant are available). I do a lot of business to business networking and would like to add say an architect or consultant that has worked on a particular property. You can add a custom field when you add a related contact to an existing contact record, so it would be good to have this available on the property record.
29 votesWe have added the ability to create custom relationship types for contacts and for properties, so you can use this to set up relationships for solicitors, architects, consultants etc. More details here: https://support.rexsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041587353-Custom-Relationship-Types
