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!

Option to easily add or remove banking details to invoices without having to go through Agency Settings & Branding to add the details
It'd be great if there was just a simple 'Add Banking Details' button when creating an invoice, or a drop down menu where you can choose between a Sales Trust Account or a General Account. If that was the case, there would need to be a section in Agency Settings & Details to add two separate bank accounts, instead of just one.
Thank you.
34 votesHi all, thanks for the suggestion and the votes.
We’ve implemented something recently off the back of this feedback that should solve the overarching problem leading you to do this in the first place.

Listing Disclaimer Text
We need the ability to append standard disclaimer text to all listings uploaded to the portals.
Perhaps this could be added to Agency Settings & Branding in the Admin menu?

Events - Reoccurring OFIs
It would be very convenient to post reoccurring OFI times to a listing.
For example, a Sales Office in a new estate - the sales office is open every Saturday and Sunday at the same time every week. It is a very manual process at the moment having to add each event one at a time.8 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
Simply insert the details of your OFI as per usual, select a frequency, create the OFIs, then drill down into each individual appointment and customise to your liking.

Make the New Listing emails customisable
We would love to be able to customise the current New Listing email template that automatically goes out to contacts with a match profile.
We want to be able to make the style more in line with our company branding and appearance.
It would also be good to be able to have the option to redirect the recipient directly to the listing on our company website when they click the 'see more' link, rather than it generating an e-brochure.
Thanks!
9 votesHi Harriet,
Customising the appearance of the new listing emails is already possible (via admin > advanced html templates > match emails) though you’ll need some help from our developers or an external party that knows some things about html to do this. If you get in touch with the support team they’ll be able to help you out with some more info.
The “See more” link can also be configured to go to your website already however you will need to be running a compatible site (requirements are fairly minimal). Again, please get in touch with the support team for more info!

Leased or Rented brochures
Can we have a brochure that has LEASED or RENTED on it for property management just as there is one with SOLD? Would be useful for our window cards.

Option to not include OFI Attendees surnames
When generating a vendor report should have an tick box option to choose to leave surnames off OFI attendees - for privacy reasons.
1 voteHi Tayla,
You’ll be happy to hear that we already offer the functionality you just described!
Please feel free to contact our support team at support@rexsoftware.com, they’ll gladly walk you through it.

Photo Watermark
Would like the ability to upload photos to web portals with a custom watermark.

Email "Attached Documents"
When we send documents via email merge, we're finding some clients are getting confused when they read the heading "Attached Documents" and are interpreting the displayed hyperlinks as a list of 'attachments' rather than links they can actually click on. They then reply to our email saying that there was no document attached.
Is it possible to change the heading displayed above the document links in email merges to something more meaningful like:
"Click link(s) below to download your documents".5 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.

dialling from a mobile out of rex
When in rex on an iphone it would be handy to be able to have the phone recognise the Rex contact's phone number as a phone number and be able to dial directly from there, as opposed to having to copy and paste the number from rex.
4 votesHopefully this has been addressed with the launch of pocket :)

Highlight contact records owned by you when searching
Highlight/Identify contact records owned by you when completing a contact search.
This is more for admins who can see multiple/duplicate contact records which have different owners (i.e. in closed office).
I often struggle to identify which contact records are my own vs someone else's.
I don't necessarily want to hide other peoples contacts from search, as I do use these from time to time (i.e in relation to a contract), i just want to easily identify which contact records belong to me when searching

Ability to mark Match Profiles as inactive
Instead of deleting match profiles (so they don't show up in reverse matches) it would be great to have the ability to mark Match Profiles as inactive. This way we'll have a full history and record for that contact but they won't show up on reverse matches.
8 votesWe introduced the ability in early 2022 for you to archive match profiles, so you can retain a full history with a contact. You will also shortly be able to set a rule to auto archive match profiles after a set period of time!
-
SMS Options
It would be great to have our mobile phone numbers linked to REX so that we can send an SMS from REX. I know that we can send letters and files from REX, but I'd like to be able to SMS all buyers after an open home thanking them for coming through without having to manually do it on my phone.

VENDOR REPORT - Have a start date option
Have a start date button when generating vendor reports. Time-consuming to have to check where the last report ran to every time we do them.
It will save the vendor from keeping multiple reports and quicker for the agents.
8 votesThe vendor report now automatically fills in the listing date as the start date, as well as filling the end date to be today's date! We hope this small optimisations makes your experience more delightful :) Thank you for the valuable feedback

Continuous feed of appointments to Google calendars
Currently, the Gmail calendar sync will only feed appointments present at the time of setting up the integration. It will not feed any future appointments made after that time. It will save so much time for Gmail users who have to manage 2 calendars.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion. Earlier this year we completely overhauled the calendar and introduced a tonne of advanced functionality. Notably we support two way sync with both Gmail and Outlook.
See our blog post for more info: https://www.rexsoftware.com/blog/the-new-rex-calendar

We need the ability to be able to search contacts via the contract agent
With this ability we can search past purchasers specific to that agent - makes christmas card lists and archive client lists a lots easier to compile
21 votesHi Everyone,
We’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
1. Go to system lists > contracts
2. Find all contracts for a specific selling agent (or listing agent)
3. Select all, go to related (contacts – include purchasers / tenants only) -
VPA Budget Invoice
Currently, if you want your Vendor to be able to pay a deposit for the VPA, you need to provide them with an invoice. You then deposit the money paid into Trust - but there's no way to find which listing has had the VPA deposit paid. This causes an issue if I can't find the who has paid and who hasn't. The only way I can do this is if I mark the invoice as paid, which is incorrect - I'm still holding the money. It would be great if the VPA schedule had a total at the bottom…

Mailing Lists
At the moment if there are two email addresses against the one contact, only the 'primary' contact will receive the newsletter. Can we have this amended so we have the option for both people to receive it.
15 votesHi Everyone,
We’re happy to announce that we now allow you to have a ‘secondary email’ address which can receive newsletters via Rex.For more information on how to set this up, please contact our support team.

STOCKLIST - Public List to include OFI times
Can you please incorporate the public list to include the OFI times as well?
Currently, agents have to hand out 2 lists, one which contains all of listings for sale and one which has the OFI times.
113 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
First off, we’ve added space beside each listing for information on an auction, set-sale or tender venue and time, when applicable. You also have the option to include OFI times, to boot.
There’s the opportunity to include a building or business name, too.

open contact in another window
When using reminders it would be great if you could click on their name and have the option to bring up their personal stream in a second window (or tab) so that you can see the history but not move out of the reminder window. -i.e. to see both at once.
3 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
You’ll need to hold down command (mac) / control (windows) before clicking the “view” button to open the record in a new window.
If you require any additional help with this please feel free to contact our support team at support@rexsoftware.com, they’ll gladly walk you through it.
