Introduction

PropertyWhiz is a desktop app for managing properties and property buyers, tailor made for property agents. PropertyWhiz is optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). PropertyWhiz has inbuilt data analysis features like chart generation, as well as smart matching features to pair up your properties and buyers.

Is this for me?

If you fit the descriptions below, then PropertyWhiz will address many of your important needs.

  1. Do you face difficulties managing client information on pen and paper? PropertyWhiz handles the data required for your day to day work and makes sure that you enter them correctly.
  2. Do you fumble with finding where certain buttons are at when using general purpose software like Excel? PropertyWhiz has a small and mentally manageable number of commands that fit on an A4 page. Furthermore, if you can type fast, PropertyWhiz can get your tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps.

Purpose of this guide

Command Syntax Guide

  • The action keywords property, properties can both be used to refer to properties, and similarly for buyer and buyers as well.
    • e.g. find property Condo can also be entered as find properties Condo.
  • Words in UPPER_CASE must be supplied by the user.
    • e.g. in add property n/PROPERTY_NAME, PROPERTY_NAME is a parameter which can be used as add property n/Beautiful Condo.
  • [] : Items in square brackets are optional.
    • e.g n/PROPERTY_NAME [t/TAG] can be used as n/Beautiful Condo t/condo or as n/Beautiful Condo.
:exclamation: Caution: There is one exception to this optional parameter syntax. Under the find command, while each individual argument is optional, it is not valid to leave out all arguments. For example, find properties alone is invalid. See the find command for more detailed examples.
  • … : Items with … after them can be repeated any number of times.
    • e.g. [t/TAG]… can be omitted, used once:t/condo, twice:t/condo t/family or more times.
  • ( | ) : Items in circle brackets () separated by | means that you can only choose 1 of the partitioned items
    • e.g. ([t/TAG] | [ta/TAG_TO_ADD] [t/TAG_TO_DELETE]) can be used as t/condo, ta/condo td/small condo but not t/condo ta/condo, t/condo td/small condo, t/condo ta/condo td/small condo
  • Parameters can be in any order.
    • e.g. if the command specifies n/NAME p/PHONE_NUMBER, p/PHONE_NUMBER n/NAME is also acceptable.
  • Our commands use slashes / as prefix identifiers, so do not use / in command arguments.
    • e.g. edit property 3 s/Anish s/o Reyaz will result in an error message displayed in the output box.
  • Extraneous parameters for commands that do not take in parameters (such as help, list, exit and clear) will be ignored.
    • e.g. if the command specifies help 123, it will be interpreted as help.

Valid properties/buyers

Here are some fields that are shared amongst commands.

Property/Buyer names

  • Names must start with a letter or number, and only contain alphanumerical characters, spaces and hyphens (-).
  • Names have a maximum allowed length of 50.
  • Buyers with identical names are not allowed.

Property addresses

  • Addresses must start with a letter or number, and only contain alphanumerical characters, and the following special characters:
    • spaces,
    • hyphens (-),
    • commas (,),
    • semicolons (;),
    • and hashes (#).
  • Addresses have a maximum allowed length of 100.
  • Properties with identical addresses are not allowed.

Property Prices/Buyer Budget

  • Prices must be between 4 and 9 digits (both inclusive).
  • Leading zeroes will be ignored. For e.g., 00100 has 5 characters, but it only has 3 digits, not counting the leading 0s. Hence, 00100 is an invalid price.

Phone numbers

  • Phone number should only contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), parentheses (()), plus signs (+) and spaces.
  • Phone numbers must have at least 3 characters, excluding leading and trailing spaces
    • Valid:
      • 9123 4567
      • (office) +65 6123 4567
      • nil
    • Invalid:
      •    a    (Excluding leading and trailing spaces, the phone number only contains 1 character)
      • #123 (contains invalid hash symbol)

Tags

  • Tags are always optional.
  • Tags must start with a letter or number, and only contain alphanumerical characters, spaces and hyphens (-).
  • Tags have a maximum allowed length of 100.

Commands

:bulb: Tip: Don’t worry if your first few commands fail! PropertyWhiz’s output box gives very detailed feedback on which parts of your input is invalid!

Viewing help : help

Shows a message explaining how to access the help page.

help message

Format: help

Adding a property/buyer: add

Adds a property/buyer to PropertyWhiz.

  • All other fields are compulsory other than tags.

See the section Valid properties/buyers for details on constraints on what you can enter.

Format:

  • Adding a property: add property n/PROPERTY_NAME a/PROPERTY_ADDRESS s/SELLER_NAME p/SELLER_PHONE e/SELLER_EMAIL $/PRICE [t/TAG]…
  • Adding a buyer: add buyer n/BUYER_NAME p/BUYER_PHONE e/BUYER_EMAIL $/BUDGET [t/TAG]…

Examples:

  • add property n/Blk 123 a/123, Clementi Rd, #04-20, 1234665 s/James Lee p/61234567 e/james@email.com $/100000 t/hdb t/3rm
  • add buyer n/Sam p/91234567 e/sam@email.com $/740000 t/hdb t/3rm

Shown below is the output for the valid input add property n/Blk 321 a/123, Clementi Rd, #04-20, 1234665 s/James Lee p/(hp) 61234567 e/james@email.com $/100000 t/hdb t/3rm.

Add Property

:bulb: Tip: If you entered an invalid input, the command box will demonstrate the correct input format so you can correct your input, such as in the case below.

Listing all properties/buyers : list

Shows a list of all properties and buyers in PropertyWhiz.

Format: list

:bulb: Tip:

As list resets all active filters and sort orderings, one of the most common uses of the list command to reset the display lists to display all the properties and buyers in PropertyWhiz. Some places where you might want to make use of the list are when:

  • finding properties/buyers based on certain criteria
  • sorting properties/buyers
  • matching properties and buyers together

You may wish to use list before any of these commands in order to process the full list of data within PropertyWhiz.

You may wish to use list after any of these commands in order to return to the full list.

Editing a property/buyer : edit

Edits the property/buyer at the specified INDEX. The index refers to the index number shown in the displayed property/buyer list. The index must be a positive integer 1, 2, 3, …

  • At least one of the optional fields must be provided.
  • Existing values will be updated to the input values.
  • When editing tags, the existing tags of the property will be removed i.e adding of tags is not cumulative.
  • Like add, tags added via edit will be automatically converted to lower case.
  • You can remove all the property/buyer’s tags by typing t/ without specifying any tags after it.

See the section Valid properties/buyers for details on constraints on what you can enter.

Format:

  • Editing a property: edit property INDEX [n/PROPERTY_NAME] [a/PROPERTY_ADDRESS] [s/SELLER_NAME] [p/SELLER_PHONE] [e/SELLER_EMAIL] [$/PRICE] [([t/TAG]… | [ta/TAG_TO_ADD]… [td/TAG_TO_DELETE]…)]
  • Editing a buyer: edit buyer INDEX [n/BUYER_NAME] [p/BUYER_PHONE] [e/BUYER_EMAIL] [$/BUDGET] [([t/TAG]… | [ta/TAG_TO_ADD]… [td/TAG_TO_DELETE]…)]

Examples:

  • edit property 1 p/91234567 e/johndoe@example.com
    • Edits the phone number and email address of the 1st property to be 91234567 and johndoe@example.com respectively.
  • edit property 2 n/Blk 298 Toa Payoh Central t/
    • Edits the name of the 2nd property to be Blk 298 Toa Payoh Central and clears all existing tags.
  • edit buyer 1 p/91234567 e/johndoe@example.com
    • Edits the phone number and email address of the 1st buyer to be 91234567 and johndoe@example.com respectively.
  • edit property 1 ta/4rm ta/near mrt
    • Edits the tag list of the 1st property by adding two tags called “4rm” and “near mrt” if they are not already present in the original tag list.
  • edit property 1 ta/4rm td/near mrt
    • Edits the tag list of the 1st property by adding a tag called “4rm” if it does not already exist in the original tag list and removing a tag called “near mrt” if it is present in the original tag list.
  • edit buyer 1 ta/near MRT
    • Edits the tag list of the 1st buyer by adding a tag called near mrt if it does not already exist in the original tag list. Notice that the case of MRT is lowered to mrt.
:exclamation: Caution: The following example is invalid: edit property 1 t/near school ta/4rm td/near mrt You cannot reset the tag list of a property, in this case to [“near school”], and modify the resetted tag list by adding a tag called “4rm” and removing a tag called “near mrt”. The rationale is that this may be potentially confusing.

Viewing price chart of listed properties and/or buyers : stat

Creates a pop-up with the price chart of the currently listed properties and/or buyers in the view.

Format:

  • View price chart of properties and buyers: stat
  • View price chart of properties: stat property
  • View price chart of buyers: stat buyer

stat example

:bulb: Tip: If only buyers or only properties are visible, stat automatically presents the only buyers/only properties view.

Locating properties/buyers by name, tags, price: find

Finds properties or buyers whose names contain any of the given keywords, whose tag list contain all of the specified tags and whose price is within the specified price range in the currently displayed list.

Format: find (property | buyer) [KEYWORDS] [t/TAG_TO_MATCH]… [$min/MIN_PRICE] [$max/MAX_PRICE]

  • Finds only properties or buyers in the currently displayed list
    • e.g. If find property hillview return properties Hillview and Hillview Rise, then applying another find command find property grove will return an empty list, even if PropertyWhiz has a property Grove.
  • The keyword search is case-insensitive. e.g. hillview will match Hillview
  • The order of the keywords does not matter. e.g. Hillview Rise will match Rise Hillview
  • Only full words will be matched e.g. Hill will not match Hillview
  • The tag search is case-insensitive, e.g. both t/mrt, t/MRT will match the mrt tag.
  • Properties/buyers matching at least one keyword will be returned.
    • e.g. find property Hillview Rise will return properties Hillview Grove, Rise Rivervale
  • Only properties/buyers that match all the tags will be returned.
    • e.g. find property t/4rm t/near school will return properties with both 4rm tag, and near school tag.
  • The price search is inclusive of the specified number.
    • e.g. find property $min/10000 will return properties that are at least $10000
    • e.g. find property $max/100000 will return properties that are at most $100000
  • Only one $min/ and $max/ is allowed in the input
    • e.g. find property $min/1000 $max/100000 is valid
    • e.g. find property $min/10000 $min/1999999 $max/100000 is invalid

Examples:

  • find property Jurong
    • Returns properties jurong and Jurong East
  • find buyer Sally
    • Returns buyers sally and Sally Brown
  • find property Jurong t/4rm t/near school
    • Returns properties jurong [4rm] [near school] [near mrt] and Jurong East [4rm] [near school] [near mrt] but not jurong [4rm] [near mrt]
  • find property t/4rm t/near school
    • Returns properties jurong [4rm] [near school] [near mrt] and Clementi [4rm] [near school] [near mrt]
  • find buyer Sally t/4rm t/near school
    • Returns buyers Sally [4rm] [near school] [quiet] and sally brown [4rm] [near school]
  • find property $min/10000 $max/1000000
    • Returns properties that are at least $10000 and at most $1000000

Shown below is the output for the valid input find buyer $min/200000 $max/400000.

Find Buyer

:exclamation: Caution: As mentioned in the syntax guide, find is an exception to the optional parameter syntax. While each of [KEYWORDS] [t/TAG_TO_MATCH]… [$min/MIN_PRICE] [$max/MAX_PRICE] are listed as optional, it is invalid to leave out all of them. Examples of invalid usages of find are: find properties and find buyers.
:bulb: Tip: You can use the list command to reset all the filters and view all the properties and buyers in PropertyWhiz.

Deleting a property/buyer : delete

Deletes the specified property/buyer from PropertyWhiz.

Format: delete (property | buyer) INDEX

  • Deletes the property/buyer at the specified INDEX.
  • The index refers to the index number shown in the displayed property/buyer list.
  • The index must be a positive integer 1, 2, 3, …

Examples:

  • list followed by delete property 2 deletes the 2nd property in PropertyWhiz.
  • find East Coast followed by delete property 1 deletes the 1st property in the results of the find command.

Sorting properties/buyers: sort

Sorts the properties / buyers in PropertyWhiz.

Format: sort (property | buyer) (price | name) (asc | desc)

  • Sort the properties in the current view based on properties price/name in asc(ascending) / desc(descending) order
  • Sort the buyers in the current view based on buyers price/name in asc(ascending) / desc(descending) order

Examples:

  • sort property price asc
    • Returns the property list sorted by price in ascending order
  • sort buyer name desc
    • Returns the buyer list sorted by name in descending order

Shown below is the output for the valid input sort buyer price asc after having entered find buyer $min/200000 $max/400000.

Find Buyer

Matching properties and buyers: match

Matches properties and buyers to one another.

Format: match (auto | property INDEX | buyer INDEX)

One to many matching of property to buyers

Matching one to many

Matches compatible buyers to a specified property, displayed in descending order of desirability.

Format: match property INDEX

  • A buyer is compatible with a property if the buyer’s budget is greater than or equal to the property’s selling price.
  • When 2 buyers, say A and B are both compatible with a property, then A is more desirable than B if A has more tags in common with the property than B. This is because a buyer’s tags represents what the buyer would want in a property, and a property’s tags represents the features the property has to offer.
  • When 2 buyers have the same number of tags in common with a property, the buyer with a higher budget is ranked higher in desirability.
:exclamation: Caution: The matching is done on the currently displayed buyer list. In other words, if you have filtered buyers for example, using the find command, then the potential matches for match property 1 (the first displayed property) will only come from the filtered buyer list. To illustrate, suppose you have 5 buyers in total (Adam, Ben, Carl, Daniel, Elle), and you have filtered the buyers to 3 (Adam, Ben, Carl). Then match property 1 will only examine the 3 buyers (Adam, Ben, Carl). Even if Daniel or Elle is compatible with the first displayed property, they will not be considered in the matching.
:bulb: Tip: You can use the list command to reset the display lists to display all the available buyers before using match property. This will allow you to find compatible buyers from the full pool of available buyers so that you don’t miss out on the best matches.

Example:

  • match property 2 will match all displayed buyers with the second displayed property. Suppose the second displayed property has a selling price of 1,000,000 and has tags 4rm, near school.
    • Price Compatibility:
      • Compatible buyers:
        • All buyers whose budget is at least 1,000,000
        • e.g. A buyer whose budget is 1,100,000 is compatible
      • Incompatible buyers:
        • All buyers whose budget is lower than 1,000,000
        • e.g. A buyer whose budget is 900,000 is not compatible
    • Tag Compatibility:
      • Suppose we have 3 buyers:
        • Richard has tags 5rm, far from school
        • Sam has tag 4rm
        • Tim has tags 4rm, near school
      • Order of tag compatibility (most to least compatible): Tim, Sam, Richard.
      • Tim has the greatest number of tags in common and is the most desirable buyer match, whereas Richard has the least number of tags in common and is the least desirable buyer match.

One to many matching of buyer to properties

Matches compatible properties to a specified buyer, displayed in descending order of desirability.

Format: match buyer INDEX

  • A property is compatible with a buyer if the property’s selling price is lower than the buyer’s budget, i.e. the property is within the budget of the buyer.
  • When 2 properties, say A and B are both compatible with a buyer, then A is more desirable than B if A has more tags in common with the buyer than B.
  • When 2 properties have the same number of tags in common with a buyer, the property with a lower selling price is ranked higher in desirability, in other words, cheaper is better.
  • Similar to match property, the matching for match buyer is done on the currently displayed property list. You can use the list command to reset the display lists to display all the available properties before using match buyer.

Example:

  • match buyer 2 will match all displayed properties with the second displayed buyer. Suppose the second displayed buyer has budget of 1,000,000 and has tags 4rm, near school.
    • Budget Compatibility:
      • Compatible properties:
        • All properties with selling price at most 1,000,000
        • e.g. A property with selling price of 900,000 is compatible
      • Incompatible properties:
        • All properties with selling price larger than 1,000,000
        • e.g. A property with selling price of 1,100,000 is not compatible
    • Tag Compatibility:
      • Suppose we have 3 properties:
        • Dee Gardens has tags 5rm, far from school
        • Olive Gardens has tag 4rm
        • Pear Gardens has tags 4rm, near school
      • Order of tag compatibility (most to least compatible): Pear Gardens, Olive Gardens, Dee Gardens.
      • Pear Gardens has the greatest number of tags in common and is the most desirable property match, whereas Dee Gardens has the least number of tags in common and is the least desirable property match.

Intelligent matching of properties and buyers

Matching auto

The match auto command instructs PropertyWhiz to automatically match buyers to properties.

Upon entering match auto, PropertyWhiz will intelligently pair properties with buyers based on their compatibility. The matches will then be displayed to you starting with the most compatible pairings at the top.

PropertyWhiz determines compatibility based on the number of tags in common, the buyer’s budget, as well as the property price. Matches where the buyer and property have more tags in common are considered more compatible. Likewise for matches where the property price is within the buyer’s budget.

After running match auto, enter back into the command box to return to the previously shown list of buyers and properties.

Importing data from csv file : import
