ONE FEATURE TRUTH · THREE WAYS TO LEARN
Questions, steps and tips stay connected.
These answers, how-to steps and recommendations come from the same released-feature records as the Feature Guide, so they cannot quietly describe a different product.
Find Rentals
LIVE · v1.0Question
Will I lose my search when I open a listing?
No. Find Rentals owns renter search state and supported listing navigation preserves a safe return path to that search.
How to
- Set your rental criteria in Find Rentals.
- Open a current listing from the results.
- Use Back to rentals to return to the preserved search.
Helpful tip
Save a rental when you want it to remain available in My Rentals across supported devices.
Open Houses
LIVE · v1.0Question
Can I RSVP to an Open House after the rental changes?
Only while both the Open House and its housing opportunity remain current. OHR rechecks canonical truth when an RSVP is submitted.
How to
- Open a current Open House or its connected listing.
- Review the current event and rental details.
- Sign in if needed and submit the RSVP while the event remains eligible.
Helpful tip
Recheck time-sensitive event details before leaving for an Open House.
My Rentals
LIVE · v1.0Question
Does saving a rental schedule a tour?
No. A saved rental can be a route candidate, but a real visit commitment exists only after a canonical tour or Open House RSVP is created.
How to
- Save an eligible rental from Find Rentals or Listing Detail.
- Open My Rentals to review saved homes.
- Use current saved homes as planning candidates, then create an actual visit separately.
Helpful tip
Keep saved homes for comparison, but rely on current vacancy truth before planning a visit.
My Life
LIVE · v1.0Question
Does My Life make my personal information public?
No. My Life is private by default and purpose-bound; professional and public surfaces do not automatically receive private My Life context.
How to
- Sign in to your personal OHR account.
- Open My Life and add only the context you want to use.
- Review connected planning or relevance surfaces without publishing private context.
Helpful tip
Share the minimum personal context needed for the outcome you want.
My Plans
LIVE · v1.0Question
Is My Plans a separate calendar database?
No. It projects supported canonical commitments such as tours and Open House RSVPs rather than copying them into a second source of truth.
How to
- Create a supported commitment from its canonical workflow.
- Open My Plans to see the private projection.
- Return to the source workflow when the underlying commitment needs action.
Helpful tip
Treat My Plans as your coordinated view, while the originating record remains authoritative.
Community Live
LIMITED · v1.0Question
Why does Community Live sometimes show limited information?
Community Live is intentionally truthful about sparse, stale or unknown local state. LIMITED means the released experience does not yet provide every planned worldwide capability.
How to
- Open Community Live.
- Inspect the currently available destination and event context.
- Use only actions that the destination currently declares and OHR can verify.
Helpful tip
An empty or limited area is more trustworthy than invented local activity.
Low Income Housing
LIVE · v1.0Question
Does OHR trust every application link it finds?
No. Direct external application handoff is withheld unless current source, freshness, authority and fraud-risk checks support it.
How to
- Open Low Income Housing.
- Review the opportunity source and current status.
- Use a direct application action only when OHR exposes it as a trusted handoff.
Helpful tip
Confirm eligibility and time-sensitive requirements at the authoritative source before submitting.
Waitlist Radar
LIVE · v1.0Question
What does UNKNOWN mean in Waitlist Radar?
UNKNOWN means OHR does not currently have enough supportable evidence to claim a more specific current state. It is not treated as open or closed by assumption.
How to
- Open Waitlist Radar.
- Review the displayed status, source and freshness context.
- Use the authoritative source when a current action is supported.
Helpful tip
Do not treat an old opening date as proof that a waitlist is still open.
Leasing Dashboard
LIVE · v2.0Question
Can the Leasing Dashboard show another organization by accident?
Professional operations are scoped to the active authorized organization context, and protected actions must revalidate current membership and permissions.
How to
- Sign in with an authorized professional account.
- Select or confirm the active organization context.
- Use the existing dashboard modules for property, vacancy, renter and operational work.
Helpful tip
Confirm the active organization before making changes when you work across multiple organizations.
ARTICLES & GUIDES
The written companion to OHR tutorials.
Genesis will create feature explainers, how-to articles, tips and guides from the same version-aware Feature Truth Packages used for video tutorials. Only current, verified education will be published here; stale guidance will be refreshed or removed from the current view.
As approved articles are created, this section will become the canonical index and link each article to its related feature, tutorial and next best learning step.
VISUAL EDUCATION TRUTH
Screenshots must prove the product they teach.
Live product screenshots and tutorials are published only when tied to the current feature version and route. Conceptual diagrams stay explicitly labeled conceptual and are never implementation evidence.
No canonical visual evidence has been published yet. OHR will not substitute mockups for verified product screenshots.
