On a property record, there are two methods you can use to upload it to the internet portals and they both work simultaneously:

  • (within Property > Marketing) if it's marked to Publish to Web, OR,
  • (within Overview > Portal Publishing) if Include all portals/Include is ticked

You should ensure that certain fields are completed as the information contained in them will upload to the portals and your website.

Uploading via Publish to Web
  1. Click Properties on the main toolbar
  2. Select the relevant property from Recent & Favourite Properties
    1.  Alternatively, find the property using the Search Properties bar in the top right
  3. Click Property on the side menu
  4. Click the Marketing top tab
  5. Properties will not upload to the portals unless they are set as the Available status and the Publish to Web tickbox has been ticked. Once this is ticked, you'll see an entry appear in the property Timeline to say if it's been successful
Uploading via Portal Publishing
  1. Click Properties on the main toolbar
  2. Select the relevant property from Recent & Favourite Properties
    1.  Alternatively, find the property using the Search Properties bar in the top right
  3. The property Overview displays. Take note of the status - properties will not upload to the portals unless they are set as Available. As such, the Portal Publishing button is only visible on statuses that can be published, i.e. Available, Let Marketing, and Instructed, where it'll automatically update the status of a property to become Available
  4. Click Portal Publishing
  5. The Listing Review page opens. This page identifies any errors preventing the property from being uploaded and published, i.e. if a mandatory field on the property record hasn't been completed, and it provides an explanation on what must be done to rectify the error.
    It also acts as a preview of what the property listing will look like on the portals should you want to verify the information beforehand. You can also check the Gallery to review that the main image and image order has been set correctly.
    Click Publication settings
  6. Tick Include all portals to publish the property to all portals, or tick Include against the relevant individual portals
  7. Add in any publishing delays (in hours) using the + or - buttons, if necessary
  8. Click Update portals
  9. A label against each portal will state Sent To Portals to say if it's been successful, the status on the Overview will change, and an entry also appears in the property Timeline
