To import your Data into Propertybase, you will need to prepare your Templates for each Propertybase Object and it is recommended to load the Data in the following order.

1. Add new Companies - all the business you deal with, for example Builders, Solicitors, Agencies etc
2. Add new Company Contacts - Contacts linked back to the Company, where the SystemisIndividual field =FALSE (which will default/assign the Company Contact record type)
3. Add new Individual Contacts - Contacts, not linked to a Company record, for example Contact Type = Buyer and Systemisindividual=TRUE (which assigns the Individual Contact record type). Note due to the Salesforce requirement all Contacts are required to be linked to a 'Company'. However in Propertybase for the individual contact, the Company is not an actual record and is only a 'ghost' record in background to meet this Salesforce requirement.
4. Add new Enquiries/Requests which are linked back to the Contact. You can also "link" Requests to a Listing, by creating Favourite records.
5. Add new Listings (Project or Individual Listings) which may or may not be linked to a Master Project/Building/Stage.
6. Add new Offers/Contracts which are linked back to the Listing & Purchaser via a look up field to a Contact.
