Comparing Lease Audit Results Across Properties

These columns are available only if your company has Lease Auditor.

The table view of the Properties page can show Lease Auditor results for each property, so you can compare properties without opening each one.

To show the columns:

  1. Open Properties and switch to the table view.
  2. Click Manage Columns.
  3. Turn on any of the Lease Auditor columns.

The columns are off until you turn them on. Pivott remembers your choice.

Column What it shows
Units Audited The number of units audited out of the property's total units, for example 45 / 50.
Last Audited The date the property's most recent completed audit finished.
Discrepancy totals The total undercharged amount (shown as a negative number) and the total overcharged amount (shown as a positive number). The two totals are shown separately and don't cancel each other out.
  • The values match the property's Lease Auditor Overview tab. They use the most recent completed audit for each unit.
  • A property with no completed audit shows a dash (–).
  • Click a column header to sort by that column. Properties with no completed audit always sort last.
  • When an audit finishes, reload the page to see the new values.

These columns are in the table view only. Card view doesn't show Lease Auditor results.


Searching for Properties

You can search for properties using either the property name or an internal Property ID (also called an entity number or third-party ID).

This is useful for teams that track properties by an internal reference number rather than a name. For example, typing 1001   into the universal search bar will surface a property with that ID — such as "Alison Gardens (1001)" — even if you don't remember its name.

Searching by Property ID in Universal Search

  1. Click the universal search bar at the top of the app.
  2. Type the property's name or Property ID (entity number).
  3. Matching properties will appear in the results. If a property was matched by its ID, the ID will be shown in parentheses next to the property name (e.g. Alison Gardens (1001)) so you can confirm you've found the right one.

Properties without a Property ID set are unaffected — they continue to appear in search results based on name only.

Property ID on the Property Profile

If a property has a Property ID configured, it will also appear in parentheses after the property name on its profile page (e.g. The Castle Apartments (123456)).



Troubleshooting

Can I delete a property?

Properties cannot be deleted through the Pivott interface. To remove a property, please contact us at help@pivott.io or reach out to your Pivott account manager.

I searched by Property ID but the property didn't appear.

Make sure the property has a Property ID (entity number / third-party ID) configured in Pivott. If the field is blank, the property will only be found by name. Contact your Pivott administrator if you need a Property ID added.

I don't see the Lease Auditor columns in Manage Columns.

Make sure you're in the table view, not card view. If you still don't see them, Lease Auditor isn't turned on for your company. Contact your Account Manager.
