Real Estate Software Configuration Settings: The Complete Guide to Module Settings in iRealtee
Real estate software configuration settings determine how your brokerage operates within a digital platform. Philippine brokers managing partnerships with developers like Ayala Land, Megaworld, and SMDC require flexible configuration options to accommodate varying document requirements, commission structures, and approval workflows. Without proper module settings, brokerages face document errors, compliance issues, and commission disputes that cost time and money.
iRealtee's Module Settings serve as the central configuration layer governing how documents, templates, and data flows operate across the entire platform. This guide covers everything Philippine broker-owners, team administrators, and operations managers need to configure their real estate operating system effectively.

Why Real Estate Software Configuration Settings Matter for Philippine Brokers
Real estate software configuration settings enable brokerages to tailor platform behavior to match their specific operational requirements. A document management system without proper configuration fails to serve the unique needs of Philippine real estate brokers who work with multiple developer partnerships simultaneously.
Off-the-shelf real estate tools rarely match Philippine broker workflows out of the box. Different developers impose distinct document requirements—Vista Land requires different reservation agreement formats than Robinsons Land, and DMCI has separate buyer information sheet specifications. Misconfigured settings lead to rejected submissions, compliance failures with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and commission payment delays that damage agent relationships.
Proper module settings enable brokerages to:
- Define developer-specific document templates and naming conventions
- Establish approval hierarchies matching organizational structure
- Configure commission split rules aligned with team agreements
- Set default payment schedule terms for various financing options
| Pain Point | Business Impact | Solution via Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Document format mismatches | Rejected developer submissions | Template configuration per developer |
| Unauthorized changes | Workflow disruptions, compliance risk | Permission-level restrictions |
| Commission disputes | Agent attrition, payment delays | Predefined split configurations |
| Manual data entry errors | Time loss, inaccurate records | Auto-naming and validation rules |
How to Configure Document Management Settings for Your Brokerage
Configure document management settings in iRealtee to control how your brokerage stores, organizes, and processes transaction documents. Document settings govern template behavior, folder structures, naming conventions, and required document checklists across all sales transactions.
iRealtee provides granular control over document workflows through the Document Templates module. Brokerages configure reservation agreements, buyer information sheets, and commission vouchers specific to each developer relationship. The Workflow Management System ensures documents flow through the correct approval channels before submission.
Key document management configuration options include:
- Template Defaults: Assign specific property legal documents templates per developer or project type
- Folder Structure: Organize documents by developer, project, transaction type, or agent
- Auto-Naming Conventions: Define automatic file naming patterns including date stamps, client names, and reference numbers
- Required Document Checklists: Enable or disable mandatory documents per transaction type
- Version Control: Track document revisions with automatic versioning
The Sales Document Management feature connects directly to Module Settings, ensuring every sales transaction follows the configured document requirements. Brokerages working with Megaworld can configure separate checklist requirements from those working with SMDC, eliminating manual document tracking.
| Document Setting | Configuration Options | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Template Assignment | Developer-specific, project-specific, or default | Vista Land reservation vs. Ayala Land reservation |
| Folder Hierarchy | Hub > Developer > Project > Transaction | Multi-developer brokerages |
| Naming Pattern | {Date}{Client}{DocType}_{Version} | Automated organization |
| Required Documents | Customizable per transaction type | Compliance enforcement |
Role-Based Access Control for Module Settings Administration
Role-based access control determines which users can view and modify module settings, protecting system integrity while enabling appropriate delegation. Module settings administration requires careful permission assignment to prevent accidental workflow disruptions and maintain operational consistency.
Not every team member should access configuration settings. A sales agent accidentally changing commission split defaults or document requirements creates downstream problems affecting the entire brokerage. The Role-Based Access Control feature in iRealtee establishes clear boundaries between administrator functions and daily operations.
The recommended permission structure for Philippine brokerages:
- Hub Administrator: Full access to all module settings, configuration changes, and audit logs
- Team Lead/Branch Manager: View settings, limited modification rights for team-specific configurations
- Sales Agent: No settings access, operates within configured parameters
- Compliance Officer: View-only access for audit purposes
The Permission Management module works alongside Module Settings to enforce these boundaries. Every settings change generates an audit trail entry recording who made the modification, what changed, and when. The Configuration Hierarchy explains how settings cascade from hub level down to individual transactions.
| Role | Settings Access | Modification Rights | Audit Visibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hub Admin | Full | All settings | Complete log access |
| Team Lead | Limited | Team-specific only | Team activity only |
| Agent | None | None | Own transactions only |
| Compliance | View-only | None | Full audit access |
Network brokers managing multiple branches benefit from hub-level settings that cascade to all locations while permitting branch-specific overrides where needed. Property Management configurations at the network level ensure consistency across the organization.
Customizing Commission and Sales Workflow Settings in iRealtee
Commission and sales workflow settings define how iRealtee calculates agent compensation, processes sales approvals, and manages pipeline stages. These configurations directly impact agent satisfaction, transaction velocity, and financial accuracy for Philippine brokerages.
iRealtee's Commission Scheme Configuration module enables brokerages to establish default split percentages, override rules for specific developers, and bonus structures for performance milestones. The Workflow Management System processes approvals based on configured triggers and thresholds.
Sales workflow configuration options include:
- Default Commission Splits: Set baseline percentages for hub, team lead, and selling agent
- Sales Stage Definitions: Customize pipeline stages (Prospect, Reserved, For Approval, Sold, Cancelled)
- Approval Triggers: Require manager approval for transactions exceeding specified amounts
- Payment Schedule Defaults: Configure terms for spot cash, deferred, and bank financing options
- Developer-Specific Overrides: Adjust commission rates per developer partnership agreement
The Sales Approval Workflow executes according to these configured rules. When an agent submits a reservation exceeding the approval threshold, the system automatically routes to the designated approver. Payment Schedule settings determine default terms applied to new transactions.
| Configuration Area | Setting Options | Business Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Base Commission Split | Hub %, Team %, Agent % | Agent recruitment and retention |
| Approval Threshold | Amount-based, unit type-based | Risk management and oversight |
| Pipeline Stages | Customizable stage names and sequence | Reporting accuracy |
| Payment Terms | Spot cash, deferred (6-60 months), financing | Developer compliance |
Business Intelligence dashboards reflect these configurations, providing accurate commission projections and sales pipeline analytics. Settings cascade from hub configuration to individual sales transactions following the configuration hierarchy model.
Export and Integration Settings for Real Estate Data Management
Export and integration settings control how iRealtee shares data with external systems, generates reports, and maintains backups. These configurations ensure brokerages can extract value from their data while maintaining system reliability and compliance requirements.
iRealtee provides flexible Data Export options through Module Settings. Brokerages configure default export formats, scheduled report generation, and integration connections based on their operational needs.
Export and integration configuration options:
- Default Export Formats: Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or PDF based on report type
- Scheduled Reports: Automated daily, weekly, or monthly report generation
- Webhook Configuration: Connect to third-party CRM or accounting systems
- Data Retention Settings: Define archival rules for completed transactions
- Backup Frequency: Configure automated backup schedules
The System Configuration module provides additional infrastructure settings affecting data management. Terms & Conditions Management integrates with export functions to include legal disclaimers on generated reports.
| Export Setting | Available Options | Typical Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Default Format | Excel, CSV, PDF | Excel for data, PDF for clients |
| Schedule Frequency | Daily, Weekly, Monthly | Weekly sales reports |
| Webhook Events | Sale Created, Payment Received, Commission Released | Integration triggers |
| Retention Period | 1-7 years | 5 years for compliance |
Proper export configuration enables brokerages to maintain compliance with PRC documentation requirements while providing data portability for business analysis and external reporting needs.
