Release Notes September 21, 2017 PMU

Enhancements

New Fields in Configurable Reporting

When running the Move-Out report and Unit Activity report (Move-In/Move-Out/Transfer) as configurable reports, users can now select to view the Lease Expire Date and no_lease_ind fields on the reports. By including these fields on the reports, users can leverage the reports to view households that moved out of their units prior to the lease expiration date.

Resident Check Screening Integration

The integration between Bostonpost Property Manager and Resident Check is now available. When Resident Check is integrated with Bostonpost, for communities with active waitlists, users can export information about the households and additional occupants on the waitlist, and then this information can be transmitted to Resident Check, which offers credit screening and background checks.

For more information about setting up the Resident Check integration, refer to the "Setting Up the Resident Check Integration" topic.
