InBizness Property Manager 3.0

InBizness 3.0 has a number of enhancements including a new fees module integrated with the payment system and a significantly upgraded tenants module. This is a third update in the last six months and this just illustrates the power and flexibility of the FileMaker database environment.

TENANT MODULE UPDATES
The tenant module has received a number of user interface and operational changes with this update. The tab bar has been updated to be more effective and streamlined. The Deposit / Move Out tab has been renamed Rental Details. Two new tabs were added as well Tenant Details and Fees.

So the tab bar for tenants now reads General, Income, Rental Details, Tenant Details, Activities, Payments, Fees, Files and Background. The addition of tenant details allowed us to move some of the tenant data from the top area to this dedicated tab. So the top area now contains just the name and phone number of the primary and secondary tenants.

The tenant details tab now has a wider array of fields supporting information of both primary and secondary tenants. This includes phone numbers, email address, SSN / EIN id numbers, drivers license, date of birth and age.

The renamed Rental Details tab contains a new collection of fields to support tracking insurance information including the company, phone number, policy number, voucher start and end dates.

The new Fees tab allows the assessment of fees (most likely late fees) to a tenant record. These assigned fees can then be easily added to payment records that go along with or independent of rental payments.

THE NEW FEES SYSTEM
The fee system is tied directly to the tenants, unit and payments modules. The user interface to access fees is available only from the tenants module.

You can add a new fee to the system by clicking its associated button.

Fees are paid via the payment system. You will see this change in the payment dialog box where unpaid fees are shown and can be added to that payment.

DEVELOPER RELATED CHANGES
Since the system is getting more robust with additional data relationships integrated within the system, the relationship graph has been updates to be easier to read and access.
