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!

Provide a 'Send Failure' message if Rex generated emails dont reach the recipient
I have had a few instances of emails not reaching their recipients due to mistakes in an email address (spelling, missing .au, etc) and it would be good to be made aware of these 'failures to deliver' much like Outlook will alert you when a message fails to send.

Select date range "pending settlements" report to appear in date order
Report to appear in date order which would be easier to read.

Recurring Reminders
Would be great if you could setup a recurring reminder, either when setting up new Tracks or just adding a reminder to a contact/listing. Eg a reminder to give a potential seller a call on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis for a specified number of times, or to end on a certain date. Essentially the same functionality as iCal on Mac.
At the moment I believe you have to manually enter every reminder individually.

Custom fields against listing
It would be good to have a custom field against a listing to be able to use in brochures and other areas of Rex.
For example if you want to section a town off into different areas (within the suburbs), you could have a custom field called 'Custom Location' then in that field you could name the area for the listing. People sometimes have a name for an area of town that is not necessary the suburb. This of course would show up in brochures where you want.
I have seen someone wanting 'Business Name' to show up in brochures…
8 votesThis one is already available.
Please contact support for more detail.

Freeform text box for salutation
It would be great to have a freeform text box for our clients preferred names (salutations). For example, some of our elderly clients like to be addressed as 'Mr & Mrs Smith', others prefer Steph & Ryan other 'Mr & Mrs R Smith' etc. This way we can use a 'salutation' merge field in letters, emails and newsletters and always have the correct name used for the client.
Currently, if we only have a surname against the contact but use the incorrect merge field, no information is pulled through (blank info).
If we could have a field in the contact…
126 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
That’s right, you can now include a middle name, a legal name, a salutation and the addressee to a contact record. Rex will use the right one when sending emails, newsletters, filling out contracts, etc.
These new fields can be accessed per usual from the contact’s name settings, and when editing existing contacts.

Ability to save advanced filter searches
There does not appear to be an option to save advanced filter/searches.
There are a number of advance searches/filters that we do on a regular basis. It is very time consuming to have to re enter all the criteria each time we do the search. If we could do it once manually then save the search it it would be very helpful.

Open Home Banner On Marketing
Just wondering if there is an option to put Open Home Times on a banner in the Marketing brochures for a letterbox drop prior to the Open.
1 voteHi Doug,
Most definitely! You can add this in by creating a custom brochure and using our readily available merge tag.
Contact our friendly support team should you require any help with this. -
Ability to search multiple tags at once even if a listing/contact is only tagged with one of the tags you are searching.
Currently if you search multiple tags it will return no results even though listings have been tagged with one of the tags you are searching.

Easier searching for contacts and properties.
For example, if you were looking for Peter Mark Smith, you would not have to search the phrase exactly, if you type Mark Smith the search should return the closest matches based on what you typed... this should be similar to spelling mistakes. Searches should return the closest possble matches.

Emailing original file instead of sharing link
One of our clients uses an email system that blocks links due to security issues. It would be good if there was an option next to the file that said 'Send Link' or 'Send Original' so that the attachment could actually be attached to the email the traditional way instead of embeded into the email.
31 votesThanks for voting everyone. We're pleased to announce that there is now a setting that lets you choose to send all email attachments as real files, rather than email links.
You can learn more about this new setting - as well as the pros and cons of real attachments vs link attachments - in our announcement post.

only have land size icon appear if it has been used
rentals rarely use this feature looks unappealing on the stock list when black - would be good if it only appeared on a listing if a figure had been entered in

Marketing Overide - Street and Suburb Display Option
In the marketing overide there are only options to display full address or suburb only. This feature is great...but it would be better if we could select Street and Suburb as an option.

Under Contract Status
It would be much better to have the portal feeds update with the "under contract" status when the property goes unconditional rather than when adding the contracts. Its fine to show it in our side of the rex but some contracts fall over and the enquiry stops as soon as they see it goes under contract. If people can only see that it is under contract when it goes unconditonal that would be much better!
