Tenant Directory Home Page

In the main tenant directory page, the user can access more functionality to let them make full use of this feature. These are explained below:

Steps

1. To reach the tenant homepage go to Dictionary > Tenant Directory

2. The search function lets users find tenants easily by typing in the name

3. Each tenant has to be linked to a category and clicking on a certain category (i.e. ENT - Entertainment) will show all current tenants under that specific category

4. CAT - shows the category the tenant/s is associated with

5. TENANT - shows the name of the tenant/s

6. Enabling the directory toggle button makes the tenant searchable on the kiosk

7. This shows the user how many locations the tenant is currently linked to

8. This shows the user if the tenant has any search tags

9. This allows the user to edit tenant information

10. This allows the user to delete the tenant permanently

If a tenant is linked to a location, you will be unable to delete it.
Firstly unlink the tenant from the location before deleting
