Create and publish a manually added property

Create a listing in the CMS for a property that your feed does not supply.

1. Create the listing

Click Manually added under Properties, then Create New.

Select the image to view it full size.

2. Set the reference and description

Enter a unique Reference, such as AG-EX-001, and complete the Listing tab. The reference needs letters, numbers or hyphens and at least one number; it forms part of the public address.

Check the property on your website after publishing. Use the same town and area spellings as your other listings. Add both Latitude and Longitude for a map pin; without coordinates there is no map position.

A draft also reserves its reference. Resolve duplicate-reference errors before continuing, and avoid changing a reference after publishing because it changes the listing’s address. Price and location facts are shared between languages; titles and descriptions can be translated using the top-right Locale menu.
