Listing Import Set Up for Rent Manager XI

In order to import data from Rent Manager XI, ShowMojo needs a Unit Availability Web Access and Template.

To create one in Rent Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Go to "File" -> "Administration" -> "System Web Preferences" and select "Unit Availability" under the "Web Access Licensing" group.
  2. Check the box next to "Enable unit availability web access" and click "Apply".
  3. Scroll down the preference list and click "Templates" in the "Availability" group.
  4. Click "Add" to create new "Unit Template". Select it from the list and click the corresponding "Detail" button to edit the template.
  5. Fill in "Name" field with "ShowMojoImport".
  6. Fill in "Template for showing the list" field with (copy-paste text below):
    *{unitid}*,
    *{unit}*,
    *{unitname}*,
    *{title}*,
    *{unittitle}*,
    *{unittype}*,
    *{street1}*,
    *{street2}*,
    *{zip}*,
    *{city}*,
    *{state}*,
    *{bedrooms}*,
    *{bathrooms}*,
    *{squarefootage}*,
    *{marketrent}*,
    *{amenitylist}*,
    *{availabilitydateresult}*,
    *{pemail}*,
    Yes,
    *{propuserdef:WEB Property Name}*,
    *{unituserdef:Pets?}*,
    *{propuserdef:WEB Parking Type}*,
    *{owneremail}*,
    *{freeformtext}*

  7. Note that you can use any unit or property field as a status field, for example: "*{propuserdef:SHOWMOJO Display Property Listings on ShowMojo}*". When field value is "Yes", then listing will be imported into ShowMojo. In this case template text would look like:
    *{unitid}*,
    *{unit}*,
    *{unitname}*,
    *{title}*,
    *{unittitle}*,
    *{unittype}*,
    *{street1}*,
    *{street2}*,
    *{zip}*,
    *{city}*,
    *{state}*,
    *{bedrooms}*,
    *{bathrooms}*,
    *{squarefootage}*,
    *{marketrent}*,
    *{amenitylist}*,
    *{availabilitydateresult}*,
    *{pemail}*,
    *{propuserdef:SHOWMOJO Display Property Listings on ShowMojo}*,
    *{propuserdef:WEB Property Name}*,
    *{unituserdef:Pets?}*,
    *{propuserdef:WEB Parking Type}*,
    *{owneremail}*,
    *{freeformtext}*

  8. Fill in "Template for showing detail" field with (all image fields must be listed here, field names below are examples):
    *{propuserdef:SHOWMOJO Exterior Property Photo}*,
    *{propuserdef:Building Front}*,
    *{propuserdef:Property Image}*,
    *{unituserdef:Floor Plan}*,
    *{unituserdef:Room 1}*,
    *{unituserdef:Room 2}*,
    *{unituserdef:Unit Image 1}*,
    *{unituserdef:Unit Image 2}*
  9. Click "OK".
