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!

Extra Tabs for Rates in Listing Details
I understand that you can add this information into the property information, but I want to add it to the listing information.
Reason for this is that I print off the Listing detail sheets for my sales reps and this info needs to be included to refer to at a glance.
For now I have put the information into “notes”, although it would be better if some extra tabs were included in say OTHER DETAILS for example.
As I said before I require the following tabs to appear in this section:
• Council Rates p/a
• Water Rates p/a

We need Open for Inspections to provide multiples of 5 minutes (as per old Rex), new Rex only provides for multiples of 15 minutes
We want to start or finish open for inspections at times other than on the quarter hour. We like to do rent OFIs for rentals for 20 minutes and then allow a varying time to get to the next property depending on distance. Now we can only allow 15 or 30 minutes between opens. Old Rex allowed the 15 minute slots. New Rex is making Saturdays for rental open houses very difficult.

Easier to click properties in a match profile
Currently when you email a list of properties to a buyer, the only way they can see the e-brochure of an individual property is to click "read more"
It would be good if the buyer could also click the main photo and/or the address to get through to the e-brochure. I've had more than a few buyers not understand that they need to click "read more"7 votesWe have updated the base match email template so that now the listing title and the listing image links through to the e-brochure. You can find this template here:
Advanced HTML Templates > Match Emails > Rex Match Email Template
If you want to create your own custom templates for match emails, we would suggest duplicating this template first.

Allow Open Time Addresses to be viewed in the Calendar
Would like the Open Time (OFI) in the Calendar to show the address of the property that is opened. Same set up as when you can view Appointments in your Calendar. It will make it easier to view which property you have open for inspection.
7 votesThank you for sending this through. We overhauled the calendar at the start of this year. The new calendar addresses this issue, as well as countless others.

Add the ability to edit reminders from the dashboard
It is frustrating when I need to edit a reminder that I have to open the contact or property record, go to reminders and edit the reminder.
It would be much faster if I could edit my reminders due from the reminders located on the dashboard. Thank you.

Add filter to check if match profile exists
Can you please add another criteria in the advanced contacts filter for Match Profiles.
It would be good to filter by whether a Match Profile exists on a contact record, as currently you can't run a filter that gives you a list of contact records without Match Profiles.
Eg:
Match Profile - is - yes
Match Profile - is - noOr something similar.
7 votesThis feature is now up and running in Rex!
You can now use the filter ‘Record Meta – Has Active Match Profile’ under advanced filters.
Thank you once again for the great suggestion! -
Search by Postal address
Can you please add the feature Search by Postal Address of a contact in the database. It would be a huge time saver as to the roundabout method I have to use now when I know the address and cant remember the people's names. I am sure we all suffer from that issue. Ultimately this added feature would save a lot of embarrassment.
Glenda
PS Is it also possible to add a little text to the fields that is the name of the field we are entering the information on? I have only just realised that the field I am…7 votesAs part of our global search overhaul, we introduced the ability to be able to search by a contact's address and their postal address!

Differentiating contacts with same name when sending an email
When typing writing a new email, and you have multiple clients with the same name, you cant tell which one you want to choose. I propose having the email address as well as the client name come up in the 'To' bar when searching a client name.
7 votesThank you for the feedback. Pleased to report that the “to” field in the email dialog now shoes emails (as well as other data). Many fields in the system now support this new & improve contact selection experience as well.

Search for contacts by entering the Street they live in.
When searching for a contact and you can't recall their name but know the street they live in, this would make life a lot easier!
Also it helps when informing contacts loaded in REX in the immediate area of a listing to let them know a home near them is on the market.7 votes -
Ability to search and find contacts by mobile numbers on country code in pocket and rex
Given the various formats that mobile numbers and landlines can be provided to agents and property managers in, its frustrating to have to search twice or more to determine if a contact is already in the system, due to the prefix formatting. This simple change could save lot of time for agents and admin staff.
7 votesWe have introduced more robust searching in the CRM, so you can search for contacts by their mobile number, regardless of their prefix. Our smart search engine treats '04' and '+614' and '614' as the same thing so the results are resilient to various formats. This functionality will also be coming to Rex Mobile's global search too in the future.

Ability to see activated 2 factor users
Admin user ability to see if team members have activated their 2 factor authenticator.

2FA tracking
With 2FA introduced, it would be great if admins could get an alert if this is turned off by a member of staff. Even if we could access a report of who has it turned on/off that would be useful.
7 votesYou can now see who has MFA enabled from Users & Security by the grey box next to their name. Attached is a screenshot of how this looks. We will introduce the ability to enforce MFA enrolment in the future. Thank you :)

Registration Form
I would like a simple buyers registration form.
At the moment I have paper registration forms that I use at open homes and on the window of our office.
I do not like the idea of having to double handle the buyers information. I would like to have a simple registration form that I can pull up on my iPad, hand my iPad to the new client/buyer and have them entire their own details.This document should say "registration form" at the top.
It should automatically log the date and time the contact/client is added.
It should have space for…6 votesHi everyone,

Keep log of changes made to Record owners
It would be good to see a log against the customer if the record owner is changed and who it was changed by.
6 votesAnother great suggestion now live! Record owner changes can be viewed from the change log in Rex.
Thanks again for everyone’s feedback and contributions to Rex. -
Search by last name rather than entire name
We really need to be able to search for any contact by their last name. Having to remember ever single person's full name to be able to pick up the exact contact is time consuming, and generally people cannot remember full names but rather just their last name.
We ask for better searching capabilities, in particular searching just by last names.
6 votesHi Bianca,
You’ll be happy to hear that we offer the functionality you just described! You can search by surname by performing a wildcard search. Just put a percentage sign before your search e.g. %smith. Feel free to contact our friendly support team if you have any additional queries around this. -
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…

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.
