For Brokers: Authorize IDX and VOW licensing requests in Bright

To help make it easier for you to manage IDX and VOW licensing requests submitted by your agents, you can now review, approve or decline these requests directly from Bright’s Accounts and Settings. Watch this video, to learn about this new online approval process.

You are now able to review all agent IDX and VOW requests submitted to your office that require approval through Bright Accounts and Settings. 

Here’s how this new online approval process works:

• Click the orange account drop-down menu that displays your name located in the upper right corner of the dashboard and select Accounts & Settings.
• Underneath the My Brokerage tab, go to IDX and VOW Agent Request Forms.
• To find a particular IDX or VOW application, you can enter the agent's name, the Application ID, or vendor name in the search bar provided.  You can also sort applications received (New, Approved, Declined, etc.) by clicking the Status drop-down button located in the upper right corner of the screen.
• Next, click the Application ID to review, approve, or decline a specific agent’s IDX or VOW request.  Be sure to check that you have oversight responsibility prior to approving or declining an agent's IDX or VOW request.
• Finally, click the Approve or Decline button to complete your review of a particular agent’s IDX or VOW licensing request.  

You will have 14-days to review each agent's IDX or VOW licensing request submitted to your office. 

Your agent will receive an email notification when you or your Authorized Signer and the Bright Accuracy and Policy team have approved their IDX and VOW licensing request.  

Please note: As part of this new process, after July 1, Bright will no longer accept IDX and VOW authorization PDF forms submitted by email from vendors on the agent’s behalf.  All IDX and VOW data feed requests will have to be submitted by the agent online through Bright’s Accounts and Settings.
