The instructions in this article relate to Roll Master Editor. The icon may be located on your StrataMax Desktop or found using the StrataMax Search. |
The Roll Master Editor is where both Agent and mortgagee contacts are managed in StrataMax. This article will refer to both as ‘contacts’ as the instructions remain the same for both.
- The enhanced validation has been designed to reduce duplicate contacts, meaning changes to the title of the contact will be restricted to prevent overwrites and duplications.
- A visible notification is included to alert users when a duplicate email address has been entered.
- A list of lots that currently have their levies and/or correspondence sent to it are displayed.
- The history of changes to the contact details are available.
