From time to time, it may be necessary to print envelopes marked with tenant names and addresses. This information is stored on each tenant profile and can be exported directly from the software to a spreadsheet as your Tenant Contact List. Exporting this list of tenant names and addresses will allow you to easily create envelopes through your word processing program.
To export your Tenant Contact List information:
- Click the Reports Tab, denoted by a pie chart icon. The Reports screen will appear.
- Click on the Occupancy dropdown. A list of options will appear.
- Choose Tenant Contact List by clicking the button beside it. A date range and dropdown will appear on the right of the screen.
- Choose the desired date range by clicking in the field and selecting the day on the calendar.
- In the dropdown menu, select Spreadsheet (CSV).
- Click Generate Report.
A spreadsheet will download. Open the spreadsheet in the appropriate program.
- Delete the Phone, Email, Country, and Units columns from the spreadsheet.
- >Save the Tenant Contact List to your computer.
- Open Microsoft Word or similar word processing program.

- Click Start Mail Merge.
- In the dropdown, click Envelopes... The Envelope Options window will appear.
