Business overview

The Business Overview contains useful information at a glance, such as how many new

clients have been entered this week, whether feedback has been received and relayed to

vendors, and whether there are any contacts with bounced emails (which is where an email

sent by Stand Out Property Manager has been rejected, which is likely due to an invalid email address).

Examples are

                                   Available sales

                                   Available rentals

listings awaiting decision

                                   listings with no viewings in the last 30 days
