New landlord login at RentRecall.com adds new features and styling

Posted on December 24, 2009

The landlord login on the RentRecall.com web site has had a major overhaul.

The new version has most of the same features as the old one with a few new additions.  In particular the landlord can now download a copy of their transactions in CSV file format.  This will allow them to import their transactions into Excel or other spreadsheet software.  They may also be able to import it into an accounting program.  The Download Transactions button is at the top of the Transaction Summary tab.

The new version also has a new graph on the Rent Summary tab.  This show a payment timeline.  This show the payment history of the tenant at a quick glance.

The new version hopefully has a more appealing interface.  This includes an animated introduction, and pages that fade in and out and a colourful menu.  It is also faster once it gets started because it preloads all the information at the beginning, which means the later menu navigations are a lot faster. 

The landlord login now contains the old 'basic' login, and the new 'advanced' login.  So for anyone who preferred the old one, it is still there.

From a more technical perspective, the new version using a new technology called Microsoft Silverlight.  When you run the application for the first time, you may be asked to download the Silverlight runtime files, which are quite small and install easily.

Let me know what you think of it.
