Setup Guide: Creating Properties for Customers

Updated this week

Overview

Use properties in Copilot CRM to store address details, service notes, and other key information tied to each customer. This guide walks you through creating a new property, adding details, and linking it to the right customer record.


Step 1: Create a New Property

  1. Click the blue + New button in the upper-right corner of any page.

  2. Select Property from the dropdown.

  3. Enter the Property Information, including the address and any basic details.

  4. Choose the Customer this property should be associated with.

💡If the customer doesn’t already exist, click the grey + button next to the dropdown to create a new one.


Step 2: Define the Property Type

Select the Property Type that best describes the location, such as:

  • Primary

  • Secondary

  • Rental

  • Or any custom name you prefer

If the desired type doesn’t exist, click the grey + button next to the Property Type field to add one.


Step 3: Verify the Map Location

After entering the property address:

  • Review the map on the right-hand side, about halfway down the page.

  • Ensure the red pin is placed at the correct location.

  • If not, click and drag the pin to the right spot — such as the exact house, apartment, or site for service.

  • After adjusting the pin location, click Save by the coordinates.

This helps crews confirm they’re visiting the correct property.


Step 4: Add Property Details

Click See More in the Property Information section to open advanced fields.
You can enter or update details such as:

  • Lot Size

  • Stories

  • Fence Type

  • Assigned Crews

  • Default Items or Services

Continue scrolling down to enter any additional property-specific information you want to store.


Step 5: Add Notes, Photos, and Custom Fields

Enhance each property record with extra context for your team:

  • Custom Fields: Track any unique data points specific to your operations.

  • Property Notes: Add internal notes (e.g., “has a dog” or “owner is hard of hearing”). Notes are not visible to customers.

  • Photos/Documents: Upload images or files—such as property photos or service area maps—to help crews verify the correct location.


Step 6: Save and Find the Property

When you’re finished entering details:

  1. Click Save Property at the bottom of the page.

  2. You can now find this property by:

    • Opening the Customer it’s linked to, or

    • Searching for the address in the Global Search Bar.


Tip

If you manage multiple properties for one customer, repeat this process to create separate property records for each location. Each property will remain linked to the same customer for easy tracking.
