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!

Rex Application for Tablet and Phone Devices
We understand many of you are wanting Rex to be fully mobile/tablet compatible.
Please vote and comment on exactly what feature(s) you would find most useful while on the road. Please keep in mind that in order to provide a nice/ simple mobile experience we will not be able to transfer every single feature of Rex to the phone. As such we'd like a comment from you on what you think the most basic requirement of the application would be.
e.g. "The ability to search across, and easily call any contact in Rex"
We'll be watching the ticket closely over…
296 votesAfter 12 months of research, design, development and testing, Pocket (the Rex mobile app) is now available for iOS and Android. For more info and links to download the app head to http://pocketbyrex.com.

Related Contacts against Listings
It would be great to be able to add:
Buyer's settlement agent
Seller's settlement agent
Finance broker
Tenant
Power of Attorney
As related contacts to a listing so that when you are setting reminders or tracks, for example, send copy of contract to Finance broker, you can add them as a related contact. Also just handy to be able to access their details from the main screen rather than having to dip into legal/contract tab or property record to get details.209 votesWe are excited to announce that you can now create custom contact relationship types for listings & properties! This lets you define relationships such as Tenant, Power of Attorney, Finance Broker, and so on.
You can read more about the feature in our blog post: https://www.rexsoftware.com/blog/create-your-own-custom-relationship-categories/

Be able to "pin" a note to the top of the stream
We occasionally have a note that we need to be able to be viewed throughout the term of the listing (and not scroll down the stream). This might be a note that the owner is staying in the property for a few days, or holiday bookings which need to be honoured as a condition of the sale (for example). But once it scrolls right down the feed, no one sees it.

Open Homes: Change default time of open home to 30 mins
Rex, can you please add the ability to change the default length of open home times. Currently the default length is set to 1 hour (60mins), but our office, and many other offices use 30 minutes as the default open home length. So i propose having the ability to choose between default length of 30mins or 60mins depending on each office's requirements.
This would help save us a lot of time when we are doing 30+ open homes a week.
Thank you - Please vote this up.
153 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
Now you can set your own default OFI duration in the admin menu, (under advanced settings).

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.

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.

Report for OAB
It would be good to see a report focused on OAB's to be able to easily identify:
Market Share and who your competitors are.
OAB's that could be coming out of authority very quickly.
113 votesYou can now report on OABs using our powerful Custom Reporting. Included out of the box are a number of default reports to help you prospect. And the best part is all the reports are completely customisable to your liking. See OAB reporting right here -> https://app.rexsoftware.com/report/oabs

Brochure link or weblink for property in SMS alert
Add the brochure link or website link in the auto SMS property alerts. At the moment it links the address that goes to maps – it would be useful to show the property link so clients can get a visual of the property from their phone.
104 votesHappy to say this was released a few weeks ago :) A short link is now included to ebrochures when the sms is sent.

Proper ipad application
Would love to see a full ipad application that is fully supported. Really important for home opens and efficiency.

Ability to differentiate between a Rental Appraisal and Sales Appraisal
It would be great to have a button the appraisal section which allows us to show whether it's a rental appraisal or a sales appraisal so that if you have two teams working off the same database, one being a rental team and the other a sales team, then you can differentiate between their appraisals.
97 votesWe are happy to let you know that you can now have a rental appraisal alongside a sales appraisal as part of our new Appraisals Pipeline functionality. Check out more here: https://www.rexsoftware.com/updates/appraisals-pipeline

Brochure SMS charges REX not Phone on Pocket!
When you SMS 'brochure' from pocket at the open home, the SMS charge is from REX not the phone like it claims. Can this be rectified ASAP?
92 votesGood news: this has been resolved in our latest open homes release! In the Pocket Settings menu, you can now choose to have ebrochures send either via Rex, or via your Phone.

Mass Creation of Brochures
Currently, you have to go to each listing to print a brochure. It would make life a lot easier if we could select specific listings, then select 'Merge/Print Brochures'. We could then print multiple listing brochures rather than having to go into each individual listing.
91 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
Now it’s just a matter of filtering your listings, selecting the relevant records, and hey presto, you can generate a whole afternoon’s worth of brochures, or prepare your entire agency window in just a few clicks.

Sales Agency Agreement expiry dates
Would love the system to generate an actual expiry date rather than having to manually calculate 90 days each time and for that date to be on reports rather than DTE.
71 votesHappy to announce that this is now available.
When entering authority details you now have the option of entering a start date and duration or expiry date – if you enter an expiry date the duration will be automatically calculated and vice versa.
