Q: How do I transfer property and tenancy data between agentOS accounts?
A: We offer two methods for transferring property, landlord, tenancy, and tenant information between agentOS accounts. The recommended method uses custom report packages that include all necessary reports perfectly formatted for importing. These cover every property (including vacant ones), properties with active tenancies, landlord details, tenancy details, tenant details, contractor details, and certificate details.
You can download the custom report package from this article and install it yourself to gather the data (see installation instructions below).
Alternatively, you can use standard reports by providing the All Active Tenancies Report (found at Lettings > Tenancy Reports > All Active Tenancies Detailed) and the Rent Schedule Report (found at Lettings > Lettings Reports > Scheduled Rent Collection).
Once you have gathered your reports, the actual import into your agentOS account is handled by our onboarding team as a professional service. Please contact onboarding@agentos.com with your reports for a quote. If you would like our team to handle the entire process for you—including installing the report package, running the reports, and importing the data—please contact onboarding@agentos.com for a comprehensive quote based on your specific requirements.
Q: What information do I need to provide when requesting a data import to agentOS?
A: When emailing your reports to onboarding@agentos.com for a quote and import, you need to include:
- The name of the account the data is coming from
- Confirmation that you have permission to share and use this data
- The name of the account you want the data transferred to
- Confirmation from the receiving account holder that they approve the import
- Whether you need any branding or templates transferred across
- Whether you require media files and documents to be transferred (this is handled as a separate professional service)
Please note that management fees that apply to the property (rather than the landlord) cannot currently be reported, so you'll need to manually highlight these to the onboarding team to ensure they are applied correctly.
The data import is provided as a professional service. Please contact onboarding@agentos.com for a quote based on your specific requirements.
Q: Can media files and documents be transferred between agentOS accounts?
A: Media files and documents cannot be automatically imported and will need to be transferred manually. If you would like our team to handle the manual transfer of your media files and documents, this is available as a professional service. Please contact onboarding@agentos.com for a quote based on the volume and complexity of your files.
Q: Can I just copy my entire agentOS account to a new account?
A: No, accounts cannot simply be "copied" across. Data needs to be exported via reports and then imported into the destination account through our professional services.
However, if your company is simply going through a rebrand and you don't need a new account, you can update your company details within your existing account to reflect the new branding. Please be aware that your shortname (which appears in your login URLs and system-generated emails) will remain the same. If you'd like to use your new branding in emails, you can set up branded emails to bypass this—see our article on branded emails for more information.
Q: How do I install the custom report package for data transfer in agentOS?
A: To install the custom report package in agentOS yourself:
- Click the person-shaped icon to access settings
- Navigate to OS Customisations (if you cannot see this option, contact us to activate Power Reporting for you)
- Click Install Package and upload the file
- Once installed, all the reports will appear in your Lettings Reports
You can then run these reports to gather your data. Once you have the reports, send them to onboarding@agentos.com for a quote on importing the data into your destination account.
If you would prefer our team to install the report package, run the reports, or handle any part of the data transfer process for you, this is available as a professional service. Please contact onboarding@agentos.com for a quote based on your requirements.
We also strongly recommend booking a meeting to discuss your specific transfer requirements, allowing us to understand your needs, plan the best approach, address any concerns, and identify any additional data that might need special handling.
