Release Date: October 24, 2023
Welcome to our Product Updates communication for October - from new features and enhancements to bug fixes.
Property Vista CRM
Improvements
- For Yardi-enabled accounts, we have improved Yardi-related Error messages in CRM to display specific details about the issue at hand. No more cryptic number sequences! Now, you will receive actionable information about the error, allowing for a quicker understanding of what went wrong.
- We have added an Email Filter and Column to the Lease Lister, similar to Tenants Lister. This addition allows you to easily filter and find leases based on the primary tenants' email addresses.
Fixes
- We've addressed issues related to lease increase and renewal policies. When finalizing lease adjustments in cases where the lease life cycle policy settings for increase is set to auto increase (Auto Increase = Yes) and renewal is set to manual (Auto Renew = No), or when increase is set to manual (Auto Increase = No) and renewal is set to auto renew (Auto Renew = Yes).
During the increase finalization on the Lease Renewal Batch, the system will check the increase policy for the Min Increase Period (Months) for eligibility. If an offer already exists during the increased finalization, the operation will fail, displaying an error message. This ensures accuracy and prevents conflicting adjustments.
During the finalization of an offer with an increase on the Lease Renewal Batch, the system will check the increase policy for the Min Increase Period (Months) for eligibility. If eligible, the operation will proceed, but a warning will be issued. This informs users of potential conflicts, allowing for informed decisions.
- Filter labels are no longer being truncated to avoid confusion.
Accounting
Improvements
- Tenants of Yardi-enabled accounts can now access their complete billing history through a new link titled "View Billing History". This link is conveniently located above the "Make Payment" option under the Billing and Payments tab on the My Billing Summary dashboard in the Tenant Portal.

- Quantity: Displays the quantities associated with the purchase order line items
