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!

Two Newletter Templates
Our agency would love to have two newsletter templates, we run a Holiday Rental business out of our real estate office that has different branding.
We add all our past guests into REX so we can send them our Real Estate Newsletter but we would also like to send a Getaway newsletter which has specials & booking information,
Would love to be able to have two templates with different branding so that the past guests don't get confused.3 votesThis is already possible if you run your account with multiple locations (brands). Please contact our support team (via the help button in Rex) for more information.

ofi times need to automatically fill
Currently you put in your ofi times to go to internet portals. Why is it that you then need to add your ofi time doing ofi feedback. This should automatically fill when opened.
11 votesAs of last week, when creating OFI feedback, it will automatically fill with the date and time of the last open home conducted!

Rex Pocket
Make a short cut to ofi's so I don't have to use home pass. It takes too many different pages to set up an open before you can even put in the clients name.

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

Contact Duplicate Report
Need a report that lists the contacts that have the same phone number/ email address/ name etc. so we can clean our database.

Commercial Sale & Lease Listing tab
We need a feature that adds both listings for sale & Lease as one. Instead of adding the listing twice. It takes to much work adding all the listing data twice.
1 voteHi there Doukas,
What we would recommend doing is to create the first listing, then duplicate it. This way it copies all the details of the listing and you don’t need to fill it out again.
http://help.rexsoftware.com/listings-how-to-duplicate-a-listing
You might also want to look at linking them together so you only pay for the one listing:

If you get stuck at all, contact our support team – have a good day.

Can you please add 'DEADLINE SALE' in the drop-down menu as another Price > Advertise As. In NZ Deadline Sale's are now very popular.
In NZ we sell a lot of properties using the 'Deadline Sale' marketing. The closest method currently available in REX is 'Set Sale' but we've already had purchasers ask us what is a 'Set Sale' as they're all used to seeing Deadline Sale. This would be great to have as another sale method option. Thank you.
6 votesHi Elman,
Using the ‘Set Sale’ option in Rex will actually go through to Realestate.co.nz as Deadline Treaty and to Trademe as Deadline Private Treaty.
These options are defined by both sites and they won’t actually accept ‘DeadLine Sale’.
I hope this helps to clear this up for you – contact the Rex Support team if you have further questions about this.

Use the Document TAB more efficiently - be able to choose some documents such as Certificate of title, Rates, Rental appraisals ect add them into the documents and have them show online for the potential buyers to see.
0 votesHi there,
We’re happy to say this was added soon after your request https://www.rexsoftware.com/feature-release-public-documents/. The categories available are those currently supported by the portals.
As the article mentions, any documents you mark as public will be made available on ebrochures.

A name field to identify each phone number listed under a contact
Need a name field next to phone number section to identify who owns which phone number when there is more than one name in the contact ID e.g when a whole family is listed in the contact, husband/wife etc
2 votesThe “type” field is actually a freeform field designed to double as a way for you to label the phone numbers with a particular contact’s name beyond just labeling them as “Mobile / Home” etc. – When the dropdown appears, simply type anything you want to store a custom value.

One page to show alll OFI's - saving time going into individual properties.
When updating times for your OFI's is so such a time saver to have all your properties and times on one page. Mydesk Top has this facility and is easy to check and verify that all your open times are correct. Also should have day as well as date. Then you can easily see that the dates are correct as you see specific dat ie Wed, Sat etc.
4 votesWith the new Rex calendar you can now see your open homes alongside other appointments (including private inspections!)

Print detailed stocklist of current listings
Print a detailed stocklist with detailed property information (asking price, beds/bath/car, land size etc) for ease of access when out of the office. If you have say more than 8 listings on the go and a team of agents working under you, it is imperative to have all of this information on hand at all times instead of having to have access to a computer/internet to pull up one file at a time.
Thank you

Attachments on email merges to appear at top of email
At the moment, attachments on email merges appear at the very bottom of the email and are not easy to see (we've had numerous clients respond asking where the attachment is). This needs to be made more obvious or should appear under the subject line as per regular emails.
36 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.

Projects Stock Mode - Sort Columns Alphabetically
The ability to sort the columns in Stock Mode for Projects is necessary.
Instead of having the stages arranged by ID, it'd be good to be able to arrange them alphabetically/numerically by the second column (name).

Task assignee should be based on job role, not person specific
When creating or editing a Track we should have the option to make the assignee of a Track a job role, eg. Sales Admin, Reception etc. So when a staff member leaves the Track is still associated with their role and not their name.
4 votesWith the recent release of our enhanced reminders functionality we're happy to say that you can finally assign reminders to user groups: https://www.rexsoftware.com/updates/enhanced-reminders
