Ability to View Number of Subscription E-mails Viewed Per Contact
On October 3rd, you can quickly see the number of subscription e-mails a contact has viewed while in Contact Management and on the Classic Dashboard. Additionally, the My Sent E-mails gadget on custom dashboards will change the label to Subscription rather than Automatic.
Contact Management
When viewing a specific contact on the Contact Management page, the first tab's E-mail Activity will included summary activity for subscription e-mails that the contact has viewed.
Also, your Contact List's E-mail Summary will included an SV column that shows the number of views for Subscription E-mails.
Clicking on the Subscriptions Viewed for a contact will take you to that contact's subscription e-mails on the My Sent E-mails page.
Classic Dashboard
When viewing the Classic Dashboard, the Contacts panel will include a column of information for viewed subscription e-mails. Clicking on the Subscriptions Viewed for a contact will take you to that contact's subscription e-mails on the My Sent E-mails page.
My Sent E-mails Gadget
If you use the My Sent E-mails gadget on your customizable dashboard, the option to view your sent subscription e-mails will now be labeled Subscription rather than Automatic in order to keep labels and terminology consistent in Flexmls. Additionally, the column showing the number of times a contact has clicked the e-mail to view the listings will be labeled Views rather than Hits.

Flexmls Pro Version 2.4 soon Available in Apple App Store
On October 10, Flexmls Pro version 2.4 will be
released and available in the Apple App Store. This version will include
improvements to sharing listings, selecting specific MLSs when
searching (if your MLS uses a datashare with other MLSs), improved
Address Searching, the ability to search listing collections, improved
sorting, and the ability to enter login information less frequently.
Improved Sharing
When you share a single listing, selected listings, or a search, the share screen has a blue ribbon at the bottom with three options: Email, Text and More. Email and Text allow you to select (or add) a contact as the recipient and then send the listing(s) via email or text message. As before, More generates a link you can share from available apps in your phone.
If you choose the Text option and your selected contact has multiple phone numbers in Flexmls, you can choose which phone number you'd like to send the listing to. Additionally, the text message will contain a preview photo in the message.
Datashare: Option to Select Specific MLS(s)
If your MLS participates in a datashare with other MLSs, you can select which MLSs you'd like to use when creating or editing a search. From the Filter screen, tap Data Source to bring up the available MLSs. Once you've selected the appropriate MLSs, tap Done to return to the Filter screen.
Improved Address Search
The Advanced Address search will look for the exact number entered when searching fields like Address # and Unit # rather than using the number as a wild card and returning results where the number appears anywhere in the address or unit number.
The Simple Address search displays an updated count of matching listings as you type your search criteria.

Improved Synching with Flexmls Pro App
Currently, you may notice that there are
instances when you set up a subscription for a contact using the Flexmls
Pro app, but you do not see the subscription when viewing the contact
in Flexmls Web. This will change on October 4 with improved syncing of
subscriptions across Flexmls platforms.
On October 4, when you create a subscription for a contact using the Flexmls Pro app, you will see the subscription appear on the contact's Searches/Subscriptions tab in Flexmls Web. From the Searches/Subscriptions tab on the Contact Management screen in Flexmls Web, select the search, then click the Subscription to view and modify the subscription settings.
Additionally, if your contact uses the client version of the Flexmls app, they can choose to subscribe to searches you provide for them. When a contact subscribes to an agent-provided search, you can see and edit the subscription on the contact's Searches/Subscriptions tab in Flexmls Web.
If a contact unsubscribes from an agent-provided subscription using the Flexmls Pro app, the search will show as Deactivated when viewing the subscription in Flexmls web. You can reactivate a contact's subscription by clicking the Reactivate icon next to the subscription's name on the contact's Searches/Subscriptions tab in Contact Management.

Add Date Created & Date Modified for Your Contacts on Flexmls
On October 4, you can add Date Created and Date Modified to the columns in your Contact List on the Contact Management screen. The Date Created column displays the date the contact was created in Flexmls and the Last Modified column shows the most recent date and time when the contact was edited using the Edit Contact feature in Contact Management.
To add one or both of these columns to your Contact List, go to Contact Management and click the Advanced button. Then select Customize Contact List.
Click a label in the top half to add it as a column on your Contact List. Once you've added the column(s), you can rearrange the column order by clicking the green arrow icons. Click Save Changes to save your changes.

NEFAR, RealtyWEB.Net, Ocala/Marion Association of Realtors to share MLS Data
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Northeast Florida Multiple Listing Service, Inc., Northeast Florida Association of Realtors®, Inc., Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors®, and Ocala/Marion County Multiple Listing Service, Inc. Sign Data Share Agreement
Mutual Reciprocity of Supra Lockbox Key Access Included for Members
Jacksonville and Ocala,
FL, September 20, 2016 –
The Northeast Florida MLS, operating as RealtyWEB.Net and the Ocala/Marion County Association of
REALTORS®
have signed a Multiple Listing Service data share agreement. This agreement will allow listing data to be
shared directly between the MLSs, providing real estate professionals of each
organization with access to more than 20,000 active listings as well as
comparable and historical information. Both entities use Flexmls® created by
FBS, which will provide for a seamless integration. The arrangement also allows
for mutual reciprocity regarding Supra lockbox key access.
“NEFMLS is excited to partner with the Ocala/Marion County Association
of REALTORS® to share listing data,” said Mark Rosener, NEFMLS President
2016. “I see this as a tremendous value to our members and is the first
in what I hope will be many agreements that allow REALTOR® members in
surrounding areas the ability to serve our consumers, and one another, with a
much higher level of professionalism.”
“The business is still local, but the boundaries of ‘local’
are broadening with technology – we are proud that we continue to take steps to
stay ahead of the trends in MLS Technology,” added
Rosener.
Ron
Stephan, CEO of RealtyWEB.Net commented “This is a mutually beneficial service
provided to our combined membership. The Flexmls data share is a
non-threatening solution as the listing data will appear in our respective Flexmls
systems. While alternate data sharing methods
will be used as well, members will be able to view listing data within the
applications they use on a daily basis without having to learn a new program.”
“We at OMCAR, recognize the importance of serving
both our membership and their consumers. While this is not our first data
sharing agreement, we see this as a value-added step in creating a remarkable
data source for members of both OMCAR and NEFAR,” said R. Dale Barron, OMCAR
President 2016.
Glenn
East, CEO of Northeast
Florida Association of Realtors® (NEFAR) stated, “This
is an awesome opportunity to share access to our Supra lock box service with
the members of Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors® at no additional expense
to either association's membership. In
2015, NEFAR opened its Supra lock box key access to all Florida Realtor®
members, at no additional expense, provided they have a current primary Supra
key access within their primary Realtor® association. Florida Realtor® members
utilizing alternate key box systems may purchase individual access to the NEFAR
lock box system."
"NEFAR
welcomes the opportunity to share its data and Supra lock box key access with
the members of the Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors®," said
Terrell Newberry, NEFAR President 2016. Newberry added, " This is an example
of putting our members first and increasing cooperation within the industry and
the local marketplaces."

Updated Subscription Confirmation Emails
On September 12, the initial confirmation email
sent to contacts when subscriptions are created will be updated with
user friendly text.
Note: After September 8, clicking to view listings in a manually sent email will also mark your contact's email address as Confirmed. For more information on this process click here. Confirming an email address is a one-time process for your contact; once they confirm they have a valid email address and would like to receive listing updates, they will not need to confirm that email address again even if you set up new subscriptions for them.
Confirmation Email: Updated Text
Just as before, the first time you create a subscription for a contact (with an unconfirmed email address), an email is automatically sent to the contact asking them to click to confirm that they have a valid email address and want to receive subscription listing updates via email. The text in the email will now read: We're excited to be helping you with your real estate needs. We've set up a free portal for you. To get started, click the button below to confirm you want to receive email updates from [your name]. The confirmation button will read: Yes, Please Send Me Listings.
Once your contact clicks the link, their email address will be Confirmed in Flexmls and they will begin to receive listing updates. Clicking the link will also take them to a page that lets them know their subscription has been confirmed and allows them to view their News Feed by clicking View Listings. This allows them to see any listings that should have been sent between the time their subscription was created and the time they clicked to confirm their email address.
If they click Manage Subscription (shown above), it will allow them to unsubscribe from listing updates.
