May 12: Release Notes
The following items were released May 12:
Property Conditions optional field updated in Search and Listing Management.
To make it easier to market and search for properties based on the current state of a property, we simplified the existing Property Condition picklist options to match the nationally recognized definitions used by appraisers. As part of this change, two new fields titled Building Winterized Y/N and Buildout Allowance Y/N have also been added to help you designate this information on your listings and search for relevant properties. Learn more here.
Please note: Property Condition is an existing and optional field in Bright. If you do not feel comfortable assigning a property condition to your listing, you do not have to enter a value.
Detailed listing history now available on the Appraiser, History, and Agent reports.
Based on your requests, a new option for viewing the history of edits made to a listing has been added to the top of the Appraiser, History (Listing and Property), and all Agent reports. Located next to the Property History icon, the Audit Report icon will take you to a property’s detailed listing edit history. Learn more here.
Copy a listing now available across additional property types.
To help you save time when entering listing information, you can now copy a listing between the following property types:
- Commercial Sale and Commercial Lease
- Land, Residential Sale, Residential Lease, and Farm
This feature was first introduced for Residential Sale, Residential Lease, and Farm listings last year. You will now be able to copy any listing you have access to edit as a listing agent for the property types listed above following the same process. Learn more about how copy a listing works here.
Source fields are now generated automatically when creating a listing from a tax record.
Now when you create a listing from the tax record, you no longer have to manually select the Source for the following autopopulated fields in Listing Management:
- Year Built
- Lot Size Source
- Lot Dimensions Source
- Building Total SQFT Source
- Farm Land Area Source
Source will now be an automatically generated field that appears next to these fields in the edit form. Values that are taken from the tax record will display the Source as “Assessor.” Values that are edited by the user will display the Source as “Estimated.” Existing listings will be updated to reflect the simplified options.
Inactivity warning message for checked out listings.
A warning message will now display when you are within 10 minutes of one or more of your checked-out listings timing out in the system. This message will display on both the desktop and mobile versions of Listing Management.
Warning for listing that is currently being edited:
If you have a checked-out listing that is about to expire and you are not currently editing it, the inactivity warning message will display options for Continue and Ignore. Continue will reset the timer to 60 minutes of inactivity for the listing, and Ignore will allow the listing to be checked back in.
Warning for listing that is not currently being edited:
Auto-save feature added for photo captions.
Photo captions will now be saved automatically as soon as they are entered to reduce the likelihood of losing your photo captions if you are timed out in Listing Management.
Three-Up report prints in the order the listings were sorted in My Carts.
The Three-Up report now prints from your carts in the order in which they were sorted.
