the control panel

This is the main control panel that allows you to access most of the controls and features of your rental. In most cases, except for land parcel rentals this will be where you land when you first teleport in to the unit. For land parcel rentals on Azure’s Echo there is no control panel. You will get a landmark to the shed with the rental boxes in it once you purchase the parcel which also adds your first week of tier.

the rental box

  • With your rental box you can add tenants to the land group and your security, or remove them. You can get information about how many prims you are using or how long you have left on your rent. You can also get a group invite if you needed a re-invite to the group.
  • We recommend that if someone will be living with you, to give them admin access to the Security so they will be able to use it as you would.
  • However, tenants added to the rental box will not have full rights as the main renter (e.g. the ability to add additional renters to the rental).
    • Blue Menu Explanations
      • Left click LAND IMPACT to get a count of all the prims you have rezzed.
      • Left click TENANTS to add or remove a tenant from your rental.
        • Adding a tenant will send them an invite to the land group and add them to the allowed list on the security.
      • Left click NOTIFY ME to get information on when units become available in case you’d like to move.
      • Left click NOTECARD to get the information notecard for your rental and a landmark to it.
      • Left click TIME LEFT to find out how long is left on your rental.
      • Left click WON’T RENEW to let us know you’ll be leaving us. This will also stop any tier due and overdue notifications.
      • Left click GRP INVITE to get an invite to the land group.
        • Any tenant you add can also use this to get a group invite.
      • Left click REMINDERS to get a message when your rent is due to expire or to stop getting these reminders.
  • To extend your rental, right click on the rental box and pay the amount you want to extend it by.
    • There are usually 4 buttons on multi-scene rentals and 3 buttons on land parcel rentals.
      • 4 buttons = 1 day, 1 week, 1 month ( 31 days ) and 3 months ( 93 days ).
      • 3 buttons = 1 week, 1 month ( 31 days ) and 3 months ( 93 days ).
      • The longer rental period you pay for the cheaper it is.
        • Multi-scene rentals ( with 4 buttons ) will refund 5% if you pay for a week, 10% if you pay for a month and 15% if you pay for three months.
        • Land parcel rentals ( with 3 buttons ) will refund 5% if you pay for a month and 10% if you pay for 3 months.

SECURITY

  • With the security controls you can give guests admin powers so they have the same options as the main renter. As well you can set what level of security you want for your rental.
    • Blue Menu Explanations
      • Left Click [Guests] to manually ADD avatars to your allowed list.
        • When selected a text window will pop up for you to type in the name of the avatar you want to add.
          • Make sure that you use their SL name and not their display name, and make sure that their name is spelled correctly exactly as it appears in their profile.
        • If you have already added guests then their name will appear on the menu with a number beside it.
          • Clicking on a number from this menu will allow to:
            • <Delete> to remove them from the list of allowed guests.
            • <Manager> to give them the same rights to the controls as the main renter.
            • List to return you to the list of people already added to the allowed list.
      • Left Click [ON] to change the security level in your unit. The level that shows on this button is the CURRENT level of security. Clicking it will change to the next level.

TELEPORT TO RENTAL OFFICE

Left click on this to teleport to the rental office.

scene rezzer

  • With the scene rezzer you can control the main scene for your multi-scene rental. Every Skybox has the same scenes available, as does every Skydome and every Multi-scene land rental.
  • Left click the scene rezzer to bring up a list of available scenes.
    • We strongly recommend that you only change scenes while your avatar is standing directly in front of the control panel to avoid being pushed through the floor or being pushed outside the structure when the new scene rezzes. The space in front of the control panel is the “safe zone”
    • Do not change scenes too quickly. Its always best to make sure that a scene is completely rezzed before you try another to avoid objects being “stuck” or rezzing in weird places.
    • If you have any issues with a scene not rezzing correctly choose, Remove, from the scene menu to clear all objects. Then choose another scene once everything has derezzed.
    • If objects are still not derezzing try right clicking on the stuck objects, this will often make them disappear as they are not really there. This is an SL glitch.

SUPPORT

  • It is very important that you leave a very detailed message with the support avi that includes the following information. This will allow us to help you as quickly as possible even if you’re not online

    • Select one of the options from the blue menu that pops up. As with the scene rezzer, do not change furniture too quickly to avoid glitches.
    • If there are any issues with furniture rezzing, choose REMOVE from the blue menu and wait for everything to de-rez. Also use the remove option if you want to remove all included furniture and use your own.
      • NOTE - we cannot alter furniture sets to remove one piece from a room, like the bed for example. You will need to use the whole scene, or use your own.
  • Some of the furniture rezzers, particularly those for outdoor furniture or specialty furniture like BDSM equipment will allow you to rez specific pieces instead of an entire room / area.
