Tenant Business Directory

The Tenant Business Directory feature in Booknetic enables businesses to organize and display a list of tenants, their services, and business details in an accessible and user-friendly format. This feature enhances the functionality of Booknetic by providing a central location for users to find, search, and interact with various tenant listings. Tenants can be displayed in a searchable directory, categorized by business type, and shown on a map for location-based searches.

Shortcodes for Tenant Directory

The Tenant Directory add-on provides powerful shortcodes to integrate tenant listings and search functionality into any WordPress page:

• [tenant_list]:

  Displays a list of all tenants in the directory. You can customize the display by specifying different view options like grid or list view.

  Example: [tenant_list default_view="grid"].

• [tenant_search_form]:

  Displays a search form that allows users to filter tenants by business type and location, improving the search experience for customers.

  Example: [tenant_search_form].

These shortcodes allow you to easily embed the Tenant Directory and search options anywhere on your WordPress site, giving you flexibility in how and where the directory is displayed.

Applying For Landing Page as Tenant

Overview

The Tenant Landing Page is an essential feature that allows tenants to showcase their business information publicly within the Booknetic system. Tenants can apply for a landing page through the application process, which requires them to fill out a form with their business details. This section explains the process of tenants applying for their landing pages and what steps are involved.

• Submitting the Landing Page Application

Tenants must submit an application to create their landing page, which includes filling out a form with all the necessary business details. The application process ensures that all required information is gathered before submission to the administrator for approval.

• Step 1: Access the Tenant Dashboard

  Tenants will log in to their dashboard and navigate to the Landing Page section.

• Step 2: Complete the Application Form

  The form requires tenants to provide the following details:

  • Title: Enter a title for the landing page (e.g., the name of the business).
  • Business Type: Select from predefined categories (e.g., Salon, Restaurant, Spa).
  • Price Range: Specify the price range of services offered.
  • Keywords: Select relevant keywords to improve searchability and categorization (e.g., Haircut, Gym, Spa).
  • Image Gallery: Upload images to showcase the business and services.
  • Contact Info: Provide contact details, including email, phone number, and social media links.
  • Location Information: Provide business locations, including full addresses and location pins on the map.
  • Working Hours: This information is set automatically based on your working hours set for the business. Even if you have multiple locations that has different working hours based on the staff, this working hours are still set by your Business Hours in Settings > Business Hours

• Step 3: Submit the Form

  • After completing the form, tenants can submit the application for review and approval by the superadmin.

  • After submitting, the tenants will see the same page in a different style in the right side, that will provide them with more information about their Landing Page. In this case, if the “Request Review” button is selected, this landing page will be sent to the SaaS owner for review.

  • If tenants change their mind they can also cancel their Landing Page request by clicking the button on the top-right side:

  • After getting rejected by the SaaS admin, tenants can make some changes in their Landing Page, then send the page for a review again. However, if tenants don’t change anything and just ask for a review again, they will get an error informing them that the same page can’t be sent for a review after declining.

Reviewing Tenant Landing Page as SaaS Admin

• SaaS admin should log in to their dashboard and navigate to the Tenant Directory section.

• After that, SaaS admin should click on 3 dots next to a tenant’s name, then click on the “Review” button:

• In this page, SaaS admin can view the tenant landing page by clicking on the link at the top of the opened panel, and after they check the page, they can approve or reject the request, and also add their own notes if needed:
