Rentman platform updates
2. Find important projects faster
Do you need to quickly find pending projects, hide all canceled projects, or do both simultaneously?
Try the new ‘Project status’ dropdown menu to find the projects you’re looking for.
3. Have more control over who sees your data
Extra input fields sometimes contain sensitive data that you might not want to share with all of your employees. You can now keep this information out of the wrong hands by managing which users can view these fields.
You can also hide the fields that you may not want to use anymore, while still being able to keep its historical data.
4. Fill in contact information with one click
Adding new contacts is now a lot quicker. Simply type the company name and Google will fill in all the details for you, allowing you to focus on your project instead.
