Adding your plot holders to the system is a simple process in Scribe. This guide will walk you through the steps, allowing you to track and manage your tenants efficiently. 

 

Adding a New Tenant

Navigate to menu 'Tenants'.

Here you will find an orange "+" button next to the 'Tenants; menu option, or click onto the 'Edit' button in the top right corner of the screen and select 'Add Record' Clicking this button will open a new window where you can enter the details of your new tenant.

 

 

 

You will need to enter the tenant's name in the designated field. Following this, you have the option to send an automatic SMS or email notification to the tenant once they have been added. This function can be particularly useful in instances where a plot has become available for someone on the waiting list.

Allocating a Plot and Duration

In this section, you will need to select the plot that is being assigned to the new tenant. Once the plot is selected, enter the start and end dates for the tenancy in the appropriate fields. The fee will automatically populate based on the information you have previously set up in the fee structure section of Scribe.

 

Selecting Additional Services and Discounts

If there are additional optional services available, you can select these in the next step. Any mandatory services will already be calculated and added. You can also apply any applicable discounts in this section.

Updating Status and Payment Information

If you're adding a tenant because a plot has become available from the waiting list, you can set the status as "Provisional" initially. This can be updated to "Confirmed" later. If you've already confirmed with the plot holder, you can update the status right away.

Regarding payment, if the plot holder has already made a payment, you can update the payment status to reflect this. If an invoice still needs to be raised, you can leave the payment status as "Outstanding".

Adding Notes and Attachments

You also have the option to add the purpose and any additional notes in the respective fields. If there are any related files, you can attach these by clicking the 'Upload' button.

 

Saving the Tenant Record

Once all the relevant details have been entered, click 'Save Tenant' to save your record. This new tenant will now be added to your Tenants list, ready for you to manage their tenancy within Scribe.
