Overview
In REST, you have the ability to do a global change to change a portfolio from one manager type to another.
This document will cover changing a Property Manager that you would like to allocate an existing portfolio and maintenance tasks in REST to another Property Manager / User.
Steps
- Do a backup of your data. Rename the backup i.e. beforePMchange.dat.zip
- Go to Files > User and add in the new User/Manager details (see document “Adding a New User in REST”)
- Ensuring you have the highest security level access in REST, access the ‘Global Changes’ Menu via Other > Utilities > Global Changes. REST will now prompt you to run a backup, click OK if you have completed the backup.
