Today's update features the ability to import special levies and further integration of the user profile picture.
Features
Special Levy Import
A new feature has been added to the Special Levies screen to allow a CSV file to be imported by using drag&drop functionality.
The feature allows a special levy to be created for each unit of a property from a file, with a variable description and amount, for example utility fees, where each unit has a different consumption value.
To import a special levies file:
Navigate to the Special Levies screen and select a property.
Select the Import button then click the link to download the template file. The file will be pre-populated with one row for each unit in the property. Important: The downloaded template is specific to each property, since the system will automatically populate the required number of units and other details for the selected property.
Open the downloaded template file and enter the value for each unit in the editable fields (Issue Date, Description, Amount). All other values will be automatically populated when the file is imported.
Save the file and open the Special Levies screen for the relevant property. Select New > Import and browse to the saved template to import the entries from the selected file.
