What the Tenant Portal Settings Do

Contact Info

In the Contact Info section, you have the option to set company information, including the company name, email, phone number, and address. By default, this information will be filled in from the Company Information settings.

If you want to enter custom information that is different from your company information, you can do so by selecting "Customize contact info displayed in the portal." You will be able to enter a new company name, email, and address. If you have SMS messaging set up for the Communications Center, you won't be able to change this number. If not, you can enter any phone number here.

Also, you can toggle any of the contact information fields on or off depending on what you want shown on the tenant portal.

Tip: If your properties are owned or managed by different LLCs, you can set a unique company for each of your properties by using property tenant portal settings.

Customization

In the Customization section, you can configure how your tenant portal looks:

Add a custom company Logo (Recommended Size: 300x100), which will appear in the upper left corner of your tenant’s portals.
Edit the Color Theme, which changes the background banner color.
Add a custom background image for the portal (Recommended Size: 1920x1080).
In the Portal URL section, you can easily customize your Tenant Portal URL to your company brand. Enter your chosen custom URL into the subdomain box under URL Structure.

Note: If you use an invalid character such as a space, dash, or punctuation you will see an “Invalid subdomain” error below the subdomain box. If you pick a subdomain that has already been chosen, you will get an error message when you try to save saying the subdomain has already been taken.

Portal Invites

In the Portal Invites section, you can easily modify the email invite sent out when inviting your tenants to their tenant portal. You can change the Title (which will be the email subject), the Subtitle (which can act as the email greeting), and the Email Body.

Note: By default, the Subtitle will insert the tenant’s name and the company name you set in the Portal Contact Info.
