Property Management

To ensure you're set up for effective Property Management within Alto, you’ll need to ensure your records are set up correctly.

• Properties with offers

  • Properties in Jupix with open tenancy Applications which are at a status of Offer Pending will migrate as File notes and Offers on the relevant property records Timeline in Alto. Only once an application progresses to a proposed tenancy (or more) will it migrate to Alto as an Active tenancy.
    To resolve this in Alto:

    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 Timeline on the side menu
    4. Click the relevant open Offer entry
    5. Click Accept Offer

  • Tenancies that are renewing or ending in Jupix will need to be restarted in Alto

Accounts

For Accounts functionality within Alto, you’ll need to add Opening Balances. These are the breakdown of ALL the monies you hold in your client account and, if applicable, deposit account. These will need adding into Alto to give you starting balances which reconcile precisely with these accounts.

One of your Pre-Migration Tasks was to Plan your Accounts start date and data, which outlined closing down your Jupix accounts to establish your closing balance, clearing down your client account to its lowest possible balance, as well as running Jupix reports, in preparation for adding your Opening Balances to Landlord, Property, Tenancy and Supplier records.

Now that you've migrated to Alto and you've run the Jupix reports, you can start setting up your default settings and entering your Opening Balances.
