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!

Open2view Feed
We use photography company Open 2 View which is an Australia wide franchise. Could Rex enable a feed from Open2view which would automatically feed the photos through to Rex once they are uploaded to the open2view site by the photographer??
1 voteHi Gail,
Can you please send through a support request to support@rexsoftware.com.au. We will then be able to give you details on how this may be able to be set up. -
Due Date for Outstanding Advertising Report
A column which displays the due date for the outstanding advertising would greatly assist in bookings.
For example - a 4-week Newspaper Campaign in outstanding advertising looks like it's all due on the same day when in reality it's across 4 weeks. It would make it a lot simpler to generate the one report to see when they need to be booked rather than opening each VPA tab.1 voteLooks like this one was released some time ago – the due date column is visible on the Advertising / VPA > Due to be booked report.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Add phone and email without clicking through
It would save a lot of time if we could add a phone and email to the owner from the property screen rather then having to click through to the owner page and then back to the property page which is what I often have to do if i am going through a list of properties.

Buttons should have control, click, open new tab option
Currently many of the buttons do not have the ability to open a new tab. Should have the option to control, click, open new tab option on all buttons and pop outs.

Add Support for auditing changes in privilege sets
It would be great if we had the ability to contact support to get a log of who made what changes against privileges and permissions. This will allow super admin users to view when and what changes were made to a privilege set and / or permission groups.

Read only permissions don't allow you to view listing images
When agents have read only permissions on a listing record, they are unable to 'view' the images in the image folder.
They can see the 4 stock images however they are unable to view any more than that.
It would be good if they could view all images (but no ability to edit).

Enquiry source when adding feedback
When adding feedback there is no option for adding Enquiry source. If someone comes to an open home, you can’t add an enquiry for them to show on the vendor report.

Scrolling through records to get to the end - 'End Button' required instead of page forward many times
When scrolling & searching through records, there is no 'End' button to go to the end of all records, instead you have to click through all the pages to get to the end.
If you have 10,000 contacts and you want to scroll to the end, you don't want to be clicking the forward button 500 times to get to there.
Same as when using and creating new Tracks and Letters in Admin. All duplicated letters go directly to the end, so to locate them again you have to scroll through many pages to get there.
Thanks
1 voteHey Everyone,
This functionality already exists in Rex. Looks like great minds really do think alike!
You can change the number of records viewed and ‘jump to’ a specific page number from the list view.
Feel free to contact support at support@rexsoftware.com if you require further help with this. They’ll help you start putting it to use.

Auto-archive of appraisals on creation of listing
When a property is listed, Rex should ask the user if they wish to archive the appraisal against the property.
This would address the issue where we have a number of active appraisals on property records where the property has actually been listed and or sold.
1 voteHi there, i’ve just had a quick look at this and can confirm this is already the default behaviour – the active appraisal (fi any) is automatically archived at the time that you convert to listing.

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.

Video to automatically upload to trademe Please!.
Rex is fantastic. e.g automatically uploads any video link to Realestate.co,nz or our own Mike Pero page. Sadly REX does not automatically upload to Trademe. Agent has to request a manual upload via our Head office which not a great use of everyones time and worse can be forgotten. Help please!

Import custom templates for Automatic Updates
We would like to import custom templates for Automatic Updates. Currently our email clients receive updates with a header graphic that is not acceptable for our brands visual image. We invest a lot of marketing dollars into ensuring every element of branding that is seen and sent to our clients is spot on with corporate colours and logos. This automated email template is not flexible and not on brand. We would like to be able to upload our own graphic template please.
1 voteThis is possible though may attract a cost (unless your designers / developers are able to adjust the formats to be compatible with Rex). Please contact our support team via for more information via the help bar in Rex.

Search for Tags
It would be really handy if from DASHBOARD, using the "Search for contacts, properties, etc." field, to be able to search for CONTACTS with a specific TAG.
Currently, the only way to search for contacts with a specific tag, is to do it via CONTACTS tab, 'Filter Contacts'/'Tags'.
Here's how this would be useful...
We tag every buyer who comes to an Open Home with a tag like this: '18 Kitchener Road - OFI Attendee'.
When doing phone backs, or merge email or txt to contacts who have attended an Open Home of a specific property, we search via CONTACTS…

Change pocket Open section so it's more like HomePass
Hi guys,
we have been using HomePass to register buyers at Open Inspections and were excited to try using Pocket. Luckily I tested it before going to an open with it, because it's a little clunky.
We generally don't ask for a full name at an open, but even if we did, searching by name isn't fool proof. So then I tried typing in the mobile number in the name field which was good for picking up a duplicate, but then if it's a new contact and I hit add contact, Pocket pre-populates the name field with the mobile number…1 vote
