September 27: Release Notes

Added 10/01/18: After recent conversions, data cleanup was needed on the status of some listings. We needed to expire listings that had lingered in other statuses (mostly Withdrawn) after the expiration date on the listing. This data update is now complete. You may see more Expired listings than usual in Hot Sheets and other recent searches as a result.

The following items were released September 27:

Listing Management now fully functional on mobile and tablet devices.

The ability to make quick changes and updates to your listings when you are out and about is critical to your business – now you can edit your listings on the go using your mobile or tablet device. With Listing Management’s new responsive design, all displays and features appear and function properly regardless of the device you are using, automatically adjusting to the size of your screen. You can go to different sections of your listing through the navigation menu or search for individual fields with Find a Field. Required fields are displayed by prominent icons, and listing information updates as any edits are made.

Capital Contribution Fee field added to Listing Management.

A new optional field titled Capital Contribution Fee has been added to Listing Management. This field designates a one-time fee that some buyers pay when joining a condo or homeowners association. It only appears when Yes is selected for HOA Y/N or Condo/Coop Association Y/N. Other Fees will remain as an option for additional recurring fees that are not part of the HOA or Condo fees. All listings that currently have values in Other Fees AND a Fee Frequency of One Time will have those values mapped to the new Capital Contribution Fee field, which you may change as needed.

Improved tax search when adding new listings.

In Listing Management, the quick search for tax records has been replaced with an advanced search that contains individual fields for Tax ID, address, city, state, ZIP, and subdivision to help you more accurately find listing records. This should increase the rate of new listings being linked to public records, and will also make data entry faster and more accurate through the autofilling of information directly from public records.

Bright Market Statistics available as new monthly report.

Bright Market Statistics is now available to help you review the market activity in your area. This on-demand report allows you to enter custom criteria for monthly residential activity by county, MLS area, or school district. You can save, print, and even retrieve your latest report in the system, and there is a fully functional mobile/tablet-friendly version as well.

For Brokers: Permissions Defaults and new individual permissions added.

Permissions control what each subscriber can/can’t do in the system. You can now set up default permissions across your entire brokerage at one time under a new tab in Permissions titled Permission Defaults. Previously, you had to do this individually for every agent.

In addition, there are now 6 new permissions you can choose to provide people in your office access to as needed:

• Edit Remarks – Agent
• Edit Remarks – Customer/Public/Green
• Edit Remarks – Office
• Decrease Listing Expiration Date
• Extend Listing Expiration Date
• Withdraw Listings

Other miscellaneous bug fixes and performance improvements.
