Merging Property Information

Use the External Data (Property Match) component in a property record to search our database for additional property data.  This is useful for property records you create manually or via an external source other than Rethink Search, as it locates data from our database and merges it with yourexisting property record in Rethink.

If an address match is found, the address and property information will be displayed. Click Merge to begin the process of importing this data.

Debt records are saved in a related list in the property record called Property Debts.  Your Rethink system administrator may need to add this related list component to your properties layouts.

This related list also allows the user to manually add or create debt records, if desired.
