Properties list
Overview
The Properties list is the entry point for every real-estate property the client owns. Each row shows the property name, type, lifecycle status, and city. Clicking a row opens the Property detail page.
The first time this screen is opened on a client with Properties enabled but no account defaults configured, the COA Seeding Wizard auto-displays. Accept or skip — the wizard is re-openable from Property Settings.
Screen Layout
Toolbar (top): “New property” button.
Properties table (centre): Rows show Name (link), Type, Status, City, Actions. Empty state prompts you to add the first property.
UI Elements
Opens the Property create form in a slide-over panel.
Clickable link to the Property detail page.
One of Residential, Commercial, Mixed use, Land. Drives HST defaults on rent invoices — residential leases auto-exempt.
Construction / Operating / Disposed. Governs which lifecycle actions are offered on the detail page.
Pulled from the Property’s address. Blank for properties saved without an address.
Per-row: Edit, Delete. Delete is a soft-delete; related Units, Leases, and Mortgages are preserved.
Property statuses
A property moves through three states, and the detail page’s action buttons change accordingly.
| Status | Meaning | What’s available |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Costs accumulate in a WIP account; no Fixed Asset exists yet. | Convert-to-Operating button visible. Unit + Lease creation still allowed. |
| Operating | Placed in service; linked to a FixedAsset that depreciates monthly. | Dispose button visible. Rent automation runs. |
| Disposed | Sold or written off. Disposal JE posted, active leases cascaded to ended. | Read-only. |
