Precincts

  • Updated

The Precinct module enables you to outline a specific area on a map that represents the geographical regions served by your office. After creating a precinct, you can search for contacts or properties within that area and send bulk communications. This tool is excellent for targeting marketing efforts and generating reports on contacts and properties.

Additional information

Once a property is added to your database, its map location is automatically applied. These map locations are defined based on the property address when added. If a property does not show within a precinct, this could be due to the incorrect map location applied.

This can be updated by following the below steps:

1. Navigate into the example property

2. Select the Other tab > Map

3. This will then show the property's current map location and advise if it is located in a current precinct

4. If the map location is incorrect, you can simply drag and drop the red pin to the correct location to update it
