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!

Auto Match Profile - Enabling Email Contact
Now that REX has automatic match profiles for online enquires they haven't given the option for alerts to be sent to those match profiles.

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 :)

appraisal features
When entering an appraisal if there was also a section where you can enter what commission fee you quoted that would be great. Also if you could attach your appraisal in the same section would be great also

When filing an email to a contact, it would be great to attach it to a property too.
I forward my emails to emaildrop and then file them against the contact. Some of this information is important for a property and would be good to be able to file against a specific property too. Some contacts have more than one property and we could then file the email to the relevant property. Ideally, when you "file against contact" and the search box come sup, it would be beneficial to have "file against property" too so important info re: a property can be logged and filed to the property.
1 voteHi Laura, this is now available. You can now file emails against contacts, listing and property records.

Address line visible from Contacts view
In order to make relevant calls to relevant contacts, the address fields should be visible from the contact view in Rex desktop.
This would allow prospecting, tagging, adding reminders, etc based on address.
Whilst Related Properties is a function in Rex, a large imported database needs time to add these, and the use of this field would aid the data entry process as well.1 voteHey Karen, we made this change a few months ago so you can now see the address from the contacts list. Thanks!

Deleting expired Open Homes
Is there any way you could streamline the Open Homes section of your software so that we can delete multiple expired Open Homes at once?
Currently, we have to select them all individually to delete them which is quite time-consuming.
Alternatively, having them self-delete after say 2 weeks would also work.
1 voteYou can now delete multiple open homes at once, including recurring events! We hope this makes your experience more delightful. Thank you for the great feedback :)

Capture buyer postcodes at Open homes
Hello REX peeps. I would love to be able to capture buyer post codes at open homes, using Pocket as we check them in.
2 votesWe are happy to let you know this is now available in Rex Mobile (Pocket). When you check in the attendee, there is now a field to capture the 'marketing postcode' on their contact record.

Add a Suburb/Postcode field to the Pocket app
This will help agents find out what suburb the open home attendee lives in at the door when entering them into the app, this will create leads for agents to follow up with people who already live in their local core area.

Monthly rent display, rather than just weekly
Display rentals as monthly rather than weekly. We don't use weekly rentals, and Rightmove also doesn’t support weekly rental uploads.
So when we get an applicant calling into our company asking about how a certain property based on the monthly rent, it makes it very difficult for us to find that specific listing if it’s displayed in weeks.
I hope we can fix this urgently.
9 votesWe have support for listing rentals as per month, including in match profiles. We also support per quarter and per year rentals. Please let us know if there are other areas you feel we could improve our rental capabilities!

Lead allocation
Our company policy is to have one salesperson service and look after a buyer and therefore it would be good to have the contact owner identifiable in the leads module when an enquiry is made. This would enable the salesperson to refer the buyer back to the contact owner. An alternative solution/development would be to have the lead automatically assigned to the contact owner.
3 votesThe new leads update includes some additional settings under Advanced Settings > Leads where you can now auto-assign listing enquiry leads that come into your agency dropbox to the Listing Agent.
Assignment to the Listing Agent was chosen over the Contact Owner because quite often an enquiry will be from a new contact and so there won't be an owner for them yet. However I've noted this down as a potential improvement to this feature!

QR codes for open homes and collecting buyer details.
It would be a great idea to integrate with QR codes for our listings, so we can have a code printed largely on entrance, the buyers can scan and enter their details and it feeds into the open home feedback for that listing.
41 votesGreat news everyone, we’ve now launched a QR code check-in experience for open homes!
You can read more on our blog: https://www.rexsoftware.com/blog/introducing-rex-qr-codes-for-contactless-self-check-in

Zoom feature for Calendar interface
I would like the ability to set a zoom level for the Calendar interface, which could be set to Work Hours (as entered in Profile Settings), as well as simple staggered zooms eg. 25%, 50% etc.
When viewing currently, 15min appointments overlap obscuring text, and I don't need to see from 3am - 11pm in Calendar.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. We are delighted to let you know that we have fixed the overlapping issue. See the screenshot attached for what it looks like now. We have not addressed the zoom level of the calendar however.

Listing Feedback Section Load All
It would be a good idea if we could click feedback and press load all instead of load more, load more, load more to get to the bottom of the feedback. I know you can filter the enquiries, OFI, Private inspection etc but I want to load it all at once.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. We have changed the functionality of the load more label. So now it loads 20 more items rather than only 5.

Display the "+" icon on the home page of Pocket
At the moment if we receive a phone call out of the office we need to make multiple clicks before we can create a note/feedback to make a record of the discussion. Having the "+" icon appear on the home page of pocket would enable quicker access.
9 votesHey everyone, we’ve just released this as of last week! You can now access the + button from almost any screen in Pocket with the new navigation. More details here: https://www.rexsoftware.com/blog/updated-rex-mobile-app-navigation

reassign SELECTED reminders not just ALL reminders per contact/property/listing
I've just changed staff in an admin role, and there are some reminders in our admin role I want to assign to another role in the office. However, Rex only has the ability to find the style of reminder by filtering the reminder description and then viewing the records in either the listing, property or contact. This means that when I reassign bulk reminders all reminders in the listing, property or contact will reassign, not just the one reminder that was filtered per contact, listing or property. Thank you.
3 votesYou can now bulk reassign individual reminders via the reminders list screen -> https://app.rexsoftware.com/reminders/
