Images in the form of a Photo, Floorplan and Virtual Tours can be added to the Property Information and used for marketing.

You're able to:

  • Add a photo image to your property 
  • Add a Floorplan to your property
  • Add a Virtual Tour to your property
  • Add one or several images to your brochures
  • Add one or several images to a window card
  • Upload images to the portals if you have a Datafeed set up
  • Upload images to your agency website

A datafeed will upload all photos, floorplans and virtual tours to your chosen portals and agency website. If you would like to arrange a datafeed from CFPwinMan, click here for more information on What is a datafeed.

Saving the image

All Property images need to be stored in a specific location for them to be uploaded onto the Property Information, Images tab.

  • Images need to be saved in your shared Network drive: \Winman32SQL\Data\SQL

 Best practice

Keeping your files organised in the SQL is important. We suggest you add individual sub-folders in the SQL folder for each property, to make it easier to find and replace images at any time

Uploading photos

  1. Double click Properties from the side menu
  2. Search for the relevant Property using Search Text by Name, Code or Status
    1. Alternatively, find the property using Additional Options from the dropdown menu
    2. Or select a Branch if multi branch is set up on your CFPwinMan
  3. Click on the Property
  4. Click the Images tab

Uploading a Virtual Tour

URLs for online virtual tours can be uploaded to your chosen portals or web page.

Before adding the information on to a Property Information record, you need to ensure the tour is hosted at a suitable location online, i.e. one that anyone can access outside of your office and without passwords being required.

When you have the URL for the tour:

  1. Double click Properties from the side menu

  5. In the Online Tours section, click Add Tour
    1. Type or paste the URL into the top box
    2. Add a Description of the tour into the bottom box
    3. Click OK

The Virtual Tour will be uploaded to your web portals via the CFPwinMan Datafeed.

 Note

You can only add URL links that begin with http and NOT https. If the link has an 's', you will need to remove it when adding it to the top field
