How to Import Data into FalconPro Real Estate Software: A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction
FalconPro Real Estate Software provides an efficient data import system that allows users to upload and organize essential business information through Excel sheets. The system follows a structured approach using:
- Blue Sheets: Contains the importable data (e.g., persons, buildings, units, contracts).
- Green Sheets: Acts as master data reference (cannot be modified during import).
This guide explains the rules and best practices for preparing and importing data into FalconPro Real Estate Software.
1. Understanding FalconPro Import Sheets
Blue Sheets: Importable Data Categories
These contain all the actual data to be imported, such as:
- Persons: Owners, clients, suppliers, and companies.
- Buildings: Names, types, and ownership details.
- Units: Unit numbers, types, and associated landlords.
- Contracts: Lease agreements, rent details, and installment plans.
- Areas: Locations and assigned city names.
✅ Only data from the Blue Sheets will be imported.
Green Sheets: Master Data Reference
- The Green Sheets contain predefined system values (e.g., unit types, area names).
- Users cannot change or add new values to the Green Sheets.
- Any required modifications must be requested from FalconPro support.
✅ Copying from Green Sheets to Blue Sheets ensures correct data formatting.
2. Preparing the Import Data in FalconPro
