The sale record
The sale record is where you view details and manage the status of the sale.
The structure of the page should look familiar if you're already used to using Property Hive, but should also be easy to navigate if you're new to WordPress.
Tabs
The design of the sale record (and records throughout Property Hive) follow a similar format whereby it's separated into intuitive tabs allowing you to jump straight to the section you require.
'Summary' tab
The 'Sale Details' meta box will show the status of the sale, the date that the sale was initiated, and the agreed sale amount.
The 'Property Details' tab shows details of the property involved in the sale including address, and the name and contact details of the owner or landlord.
Click the property address to go through to the property record, or the contact name to go through to the contact record.
The 'Property Owner Solicitor Details' meta box stores details of the property owners solicitor.
If no solicitor is entered you'll be able to search solicitors. If one is selected the details of the chosen solicitor will be shown where you can click the contact name to go through to the contact record.
When searching for solicitors it will pull through 'Third Party Contacts' that have a 'Contact Category' of 'Solicitor':

On the right hand side of the sale record you will find an 'Actions' meta box.
