Manage application groups

This guide will show you how to join and split applicant groups—without contacting support.


This feature is available only in RentEngine’s rental applications. Contact your account rep for more info on RentEngine's built-in applications


What you can do

  • Move an applicant to a different application group (merge groups).
  • Split an applicant into a new, single-applicant (standalone) group.


Step-by-step guide

  1. Open the application
  • Go to Rental Applications.
  • Open the application that contains the applicant you want to move.
  1. Open the actions menu
  • In the applicant row, click the three dots under Actions.

(Insert Screenshot: actions menu with three dots)


  1. Choose “Change Applicant’s Group”
  • Click Change Applicant’s Group.


  1. Select where to move the applicant (or split)
  • In the dialog:
    • To merge/move into another group: use Search Applicant Names to find a member of the destination App Group, then select that group.
    • To split into a new group: click Split into Standalone App.


  1. Save
  • Click Change Group (or confirm the split). The application list will refresh with the new grouping.


Notes

  • Moving or splitting applicants does not delete any submitted information; it only changes which application group they belong to.
  • If application fees or screenings are involved, review your internal policy before moving applicants between groups.
