Projects are off the plan or brand new developments with multiple properties for sale within the development or housing estate. The Project page on the Barry Plant website is the parent page with information about the overall Project including Project image, description, video, developer information, link to brochure etc.



Individual listings within a project should be added to the website as you would add a normal listing, including the floorplan, price and description of that listing - this is free if you don't send the listings to the portals. This means buyers can still search for those individual listings via the normal search function and you can share the listings via Activepipe etc. 


The individual listings can also be linked to the parent project page so that buyers can easily click through to view more information on each apartment/townhouse etc. Instructions below on how to link individual listings to a project.

LINK "CHILD" LISTINGS


Projects usually have individual apartments, units or lots, you can add these to the Barry Plant website as actual listings so that they can be found in search. If you have added project child listings, here's how you can link the child listing to the Project so it shows under the project.


  1. In the CMS go to "Pages" in the left hand nav, then "Properties"
  2. Find the child listing that belongs to the listing by searching for it. You can filter by "Current" and the class i.e. "Residential" to make it easier to search and find the listing.
  3. Select "EDIT" on the listing once you've found it.
  4. Under "Parent Project" use the drop down to search and find the project that this listing belongs to and select it.
  5. Once you're done press the SAVE button.
  6. Repeat the steps above to assign more Child listings to the project.


Set a reminder to update the Project information regularly so it doesn't get forgotten.
