RentHQ Updates in version 3.9.8

Posted on July 27, 2024
Further enhancements have been adding to RentHQ in version 3.9.8. Here are the highlights from our latest update:

- You can now create a tenant inspection from the tenant details screen, inspections tab. The date and time of the inspection will default to the current date and time, rounded to the nearest half an hour. You can change this date and time.

- You can now do a simple note search. At the top of the list of notes is a text box where you can type in a simple filter. Only notes containing your entered text will appear.

- Similar to previous changes, more lists of items are now sorted in reverse date and time order, with the newest items at the top. This now includes attachments, letters, notes, extra charges and extra fees.

Mail merge on Android and iOS

Posted on July 8, 2024
Mail merge has been available as a feature in the desktop version of RentHQ since the beginning. Now part of that functionality has been added to the mobile device.

You can now generate a letter on the mobile in the same way as the desktop software.
- You can generate a receipt from the transaction screen.
- You can generate a rent increase letter from the rent changes screen.
- You can generate an extra charge letter from the extra charges screen.
- You can generate an inspection letter from the inspection details screen.
- You can generate all other letter types from the Functions/Mail Merge menu option which has been newly added.

Also newly added is the Functions/Letters menu option. This enables you to view previously created letters.

Once generated, the only option is to email the letter to the recipient if they have a primary contact with an email address. You are not able to print from the mobile device.

Due to the much smaller screen size on the mobile, you are not able to create or edit mail merge templates.
