Functions of the RE Navigator

The following provides information on the functions that are available when processing real estate objects in the RE Navigator.

Function

Information

Display previous/next object.

with the quick info text Create

Create a new object by choosing this icon. If similar objects, such as buildings, already exist in the system, you can create a new object using an existing one as a template. Select an object as template, change the data as required, and save your new object.

Before creating certain objects, such as rental objects, you first have to select the object type and, depending on the Customizing settings, the usage type.

You can go directly to processing for another object by choosing this icon.

with the quick info text Check (Ctrl+F2)

Errors can occur when you process objects. Unlike Classic RE, in Flexible Real Estate Management, the system does not require you to correct the error immediately. The system writes the error to a log and issues an error message. You can call the error list by choosing this icon and then correct any errors.

To display a URL for an object, you first have to have assigned the Internet option to the object type (for example, contract) in Customizing by choosing:
