We have another exciting update on some of the new features our team’s been working on for the Buildings Module.

Our latest update includes the addition of the two new attributes: “Gym Features” and “Pool Features”.

These are checklists of common features for each of these, such as Cardio Machines, Weight Equipment, Public Accessible, Exclusive to Residents, Open 24/7, Indoor Pool, Whirlpool, Pool Bath, Screened.

We are also working on adding “Manage” functionality to these attributes as well so that you can add/remove options from these attributes. This will provide you with the ability to take full advantage to search and display common and/or unique options in your area.

Hi Moriah,
I’m late to this party but I’m slowly being convinced by my partner agents to build another condo site. Is this module live yet? I’d like to see what it can do and give some feedback if it’s up on a demo site somewhere. Thanks.

Hi Brian, Thanks so much for your interest and we’d love to get your feedback on it!

I’ve looped in your Account Manager and they should be in touch with you soon regarding more information.
