How to use the Property Lettings/Listings Catalogue:
Important: All edits to listings should be made on a computer with a large screen such as a desktop or laptop computer, because the admin area of your website is not mobile friendly (FYI: The front end of your site that customers see is mobile friendly)
Login to the backend of your website: (You should have already been sent the login details for your website when it was launched)
Click "Edit" on a listing to edit it, or click "Add new" button at the very top of the page to create a new rental listing.
When creating a rental listing, fill out as many fields as possible. You could edit the example listing we setup for you, to see how we have configured it, and how it looks on the front end of the site to visitors.)
Many boxes can be left blank if you do not have information, and the fields will not show on the frontend.
To set a map to appear on the listing, simply enter the full address for the property into the Address box, then save the post and the map will appear.
