Currently, the RGI Calculator is only available for Ontario and British Columbia. However, the subsidy for an RGI unit can still be entered manually in the Subsidy Override field on the RGI Info tab for the member/tenant account. This enables NewViews to create the monthly rent roll automatically.
Note: In order for NewViews to add rent roll transactions correctly, you MUST specify the province or state for the housing complex in the My Company Address/Info view. See Adding General Information for details.
In the Database Explorer, activate (click on) Current Members/Tenants.
Current Members/Tenants can be found by expanding the following folders: NewViews/Account/Accounts Receivable
Make sure you are on the Rent Summary view.
This view summarizes information that is entered in the RGI Info table.
/ACCOUNT/AR/CURRENT - RGI, Rent Summary should be displayed in the title bar across the top of the window. If you are not on the Rent Summary view, click the RGI + tab below the title bar to select it.
