How to Create New Manager types in REST Professional
Overview
This document covers setting up Manager Types in REST. REST allows up to five types of Managers to be associated with a property. The Property Manager and the Inspecting Agent are already setup as default.
You can allocate additional managers type to a property. You may name these additional managers as applicable i.e. ‘Assistant PM’ or ‘Leasing Officer’ etc. You can then run property and tenant reports for these managers in the same way you would for existing property managers.
NOTE: From version 12.5+ an “Inspecting Agent” has been added as default to use with new inspection features and cannot be deleted. If a previous Manager type has been set up for an inspecting officer/agent this can now be removed.
