Questions about switching
How do we bring our Rentman data over?
Export your contacts and equipment from Rentman as spreadsheets and bring them in with the switch tool's spreadsheet import. Calisto has no direct Rentman connector.
Where does the rental work live?
On Events' Rentals area, the Rentals side whole: pickups and returns, orders, deliveries, units, kits, maintenance and sub-rentals. A rental house starts in Events.
Can crew be scheduled on the same app?
Yes. Event Staff publishes the shifts on each event and lists who applied, with Workforce.
