FAQs of EZRentOut are listed below:
Misc/General
How can I customize the name/label of the Add Stock action button?
There is an option in EZRentOut which enables rental businesses to customize the action button label from Company Settings → Custom label. This enables businesses to rename the action button label that best describes it for their staff members. You can customize labels for the Add Stock button that appears on the Asset Stock and Inventory items’ detail page. For example, Purchase Stock for Add Stock button (see image below).
How can I sync my calendar with EZRentOut?
If you go on the dashboard page and right below the calendar there is a ‘Get ICAL URL’ button. This button provides a link which can be integrated to calendars.
You can then go to the Google Calendar -> dropdown beside “Other Calendars” -> Add by URL -> enter the URL but change ‘http’ to ‘webcal’ and hit enter to import an active calendar.
How can I customize the columns on my Asset/Asset Stock/Inventory listings, or the thumbnail view for the same?
Follow these steps:
1. Go to the item listing (Items → Asset/Asset Stock/Inventory)
2. Select the List-view on the left.
3. Make sure the Compact View button is not pressed (if it is, click on it to de-press it).
Left button: List view
Right button: Thumbnail view
4. Scroll to the right and click on the ‘Edit’ icon — the Customize Columns button.
5. You can now customize the columns to your preference. Use the dropdown menus to specify the column (including custom fields), click on the trashcans to delete a column, and add columns using the Add Column button. When finished, press Save.
6. You now have a listing with columns customized to your preference.
The thumbnail view also shows data regarding the item, using the first 4 columns from the list view. So customizing the list view will also reflect in the thumbnail view (to 4 data-points):

How can I define character limits on the listings page?
We allow our users to customize the size of a column in the listings page by setting up its character limit. To do this, do the following:
– Scroll to the right of the table on any listings page and click on the edit icon — the Customize Columns button.
– Previously, you were able to customize the columns to your preference. Use the drop-down menus to specify the column (including custom fields), click on the trashcans to delete a column, and add columns using the Add Column button. Now, you can also change the character limit for a column.
When you click the 3 vertical dots, the following dialog appears:
– When finished, press ‘Save this view’.
You can only change the character limit for columns that show alphanumeric values in the listings page. Date and numeric fields are not included. This customization is allowed on all listing pages if the edit icon is visible.
Also, Admins can set this customization as default for the new users. The change will not take place for existing users who already have customized their listing view.
Can I set non-US date format in EZRentOut?
By default, EZRentOut uses the US date format throughout the app. However, non-US companies can change this format as per their standard. To do this, go to Settings → Company Profile → Misc. Here, click on the ‘Date Format (Input)’ dropdown menu and choose “dd/mm/yyyy” to set to non-US date format.
Don’t forget to save this change! Scroll down to the Save Settings button after you’ve made the selection.
