Here at Property Hive, we know how important the Property Import Add On is to your daily operations. That’s why, every quarter, we take the time to round up all of the updates and enhancements we’ve made to it and compile them into one list.
This quarter has seen more updates to the add on as a whole than ever with the addition of our troubleshooting wizard, improvements to speed and a new import table UI. We wrote about these in a previous post so head over there to read about these in more detail.
