The highlights of changes in this release:
- 1. Property Details Page:
Many smaller changes and improvements have been made in the Property details page. The following items are the most important ones of the improvements already done.
1.1 Property activity log has been added:
This is to keep track on all important activity for each property.
An agent can enter information on activity on the property. This is very helpful to show owners the activity in the sales process of his property.
Agents using the SAGA mobile App can also enter information on activity for each property they are selling.
- Property activity can be added to any property the Agent is working on.
In SAGA it is done by clicking „Add“ button in the Activity Log page.
By default the current date is selected, but any date can be entered specifically to enter information from last few days.
In the SAGA mobile App the activity for each property can also be entered in the property details page. See SAGA Mobile App release notes.
1.2 Other information
For some customers additional data is needed for each property. This can be relatet to some special requirements because of type of property sales take place.
This can be some special registration like auctions data or properties owned by financial instistutes like banks or loan offices.
This is special configuration made by requiest for each individual office.
Reports of the data can be created for the needs related to the data collection.

1.5 Project name, Unit codes and Unit types:
Now Project names can be entered with Unit Code and Unit type.
The types are normally used for new projects while resale of units are normally only entered with the unit number. Further development on projects in ongoing task to make even better solutions for sales of Projects and resale of them.
1.6 Street names and house numbers:
House number is in separate field from the Address/Street name. This is to ensure only the wanted information is sent to Property Portals.
1.7 Zones can be defined and entered:
For some offices Zones of the main area of sales is very helpful. For this purpose Softverk has added Zone in Property Details for customers wanting that feature. It is configurable for each office as the Zone depends on the location and are of sales
activity. This example is typical for Bangkok area Zone:
1.8 Property Status:
The Status of a Property has been added. This is to improve the workflow of sales process and to give more information of the Status of each property in the Sales process.
It is also used to manage new Properties for Sale and for Authorization of publishing advertizements of the property.
For larger offices the Status can only be changed by Administrator of the Office. This is so Agents or secretaries can add properties and they can be sent to Property Portals when Approved by Administrator of the office.
1.9 The Source of the Property
Now users can enter the Source of the Property. It is to keep track of how the Office/Agent got this Property for Sale. In the example screenshot the Source is contact by Email/Internet. The available Sources can be configured.
1.10 Owner Contract for sale of property/Signing Date and Listing Expiry Date:
Many offices require a contract and signature of seller before offering a Property for Sale. Now the contract number and date of signing the contract can be entered. This is to keep track of all documents of each property.
Also if there is a limit of how long this property can be published and sold, then the
Listing Expire Date can also be entered. It can be part of the contract or not.
Remember: Scanned copy or Original of the contract and any other document belonging to a property can be stored with the property under Files in the Web/Pictures tab.
That can be regarded as the file storage for each property.
1.11 Properties can have ,, half floors" floors in Thailand:
For this reason we allow „half floors“ so for example 3.5 floor is accepted.
But note, many property portals do not allow for „half floors“.
So it is recommended to have this information also in the description text.

In the list of contacts, the Agent Shows in the „Sales“ column.
If Agent Isolation is in place in Office, then Agent can only see his own contacts, so this is highly configurable depending on each Office policy.

With larger offices as customers more needs emerge.
We have added search feature in users list. This allows for thousands of Users/Agents to be managed by SAGA Property within one office if needed.
5.2 Expire Date of User:
For each user an Expiry Date can be set. For user with Expiry Date entered, it is checked at the SAGA Property Login if the user has Expired. If the user is not expired, then he can log into SAGA Property. If the User is Expired (Today is efter Expiry Date) then user cannot Log into SAGA Property and gets the message of contacting his Office.
If user has expired his expiry date shows in RED as in this example.

Now Agent/User location can be set if wanted. It is helpful for many purposes, but mainly it can be used by Office to find Agent in the region of a Property for Sale.
