Display Multiple MLS Map Overlays

On November 10, you will be able to display multiple, MLS-provided map overlays at the same time.

When editing a Map Search or on the Map tab, open the Overlays menu and click to select each MLS overlay you would like to display. As shown in the example below, each overlay you select will have a check mark next to it and multiple overlays can display simultaneously.
 


If you want to stop displaying an overlay on the map, open the Overlays menu and click to uncheck the overlay.

Please Note: The ability to choose multiple overlays only applies to MLS overlays; overlays in the My Map Overlays section are still limited to displaying one overlay at a time.

Classic & New Portal Formats and Their Impact on Email Subscriptions

**Although these changes were announced previously, some of the functionality has changed. This announcement provides a new release date and expanded explanations of the new functionality that will be released on October 19.**

On October 19, the Classic Portal Preferences tab will will become the central location for controlling the default behavior for your subscriptions. The new and updated settings described below will be available on October 19 when viewing the Classic Portal Preferences page; however, if you are using the New Portal, you can access these settings now.

New Portal Preference: Default Subscription Settings
As before, when saving a search, there is an option called What events define a listing as New for this search under Additional Search Options. If the search is part of a subscription, when a listing matches the search criteria the checked events will cause the listings to be sent to your contacts and appear in their News Feeds.

On October 19, there will be a new Portal Preference called Default Subscription Settings. This preference controls the default events selected for the option What events define a listing as New for this search when saving a new search. 



The initial default settings are determined by your MLS, but the new Portal Preference allows you to set your own defaults. To override the default settings for a specific search, go to the Save Search screen, click Additional Search Options, and check the events you would like to apply.

You may notice that you have more status options available on the Portal Preferences screen (such as Sold and Pending) than you do in the Additional Search Options of the Saved Search screen. If you select a specific status such as Sold or Pending in the Portal Preferences, the Status Change option will be selected by default under Additional Search Options on the Save Search screen. 



Please Note: The events selected under What events define a listing as New for this search on the Save Search screen also affect search results when a search is accessed from the Results section the Saved Searches screen. This allows you to view new listings for a saved search without the need to set up a subscription for the search. 




Renamed Portal Preference: Exclude these listing statuses from the news feed
The current Portal Preference, Allow these statuses in the portal news feed for listings that no longer match, will be renamed to Exclude these listing statuses from appearing in the news feed unless the status is included in the search. Selected statuses will be excluded from the News Feed. For example, if your setting excludes Closed listings, a listing previously sent to your contact's News Feed will no longer appear in the News Feed if its status changes to Closed. 



As before, this general setting can be set on a per user basis by going to a Contact's Portal tab in Contact Management, and selecting Change Settings 



Note: Although this setting is changing from being inclusive to exclusive for the selected statuses, the behavior of your previous settings will not change. All previously allowed statuses will still be allowed in your News Feed.  

Subscription Email Confirmation Process Streamlined

On October 18, the process for contacts to confirm their email address in order to receive subscription updates will be streamlined to be more user-friendly for your clients.

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. 




Confirming a Subscription with No Listings to View Yet
If the recipient clicks Yes, please send me listings, but their subscription has not sent any listings to the News Feed yet, they will be taken to a screen that lets them know their account has been confirmed and they will receive new listing updates by email. 



If they click Manage Subscription (shown above), it will allow them to unsubscribe from listing updates.


Confirming a Subscription When There ARE Listings to View
If the recipient clicks Yes, please send me listings, and their News Feed has had listings sent via subscription between the time the subscription was created and the time your contact clicked Yes, please send me listings, they will be taken directly to their News Feed in the Portal. A message saying "Thanks! We've confirmed your email" will appear on the screen to let them know that they have successfully confirmed their email address to receive subscription updates. The message will appear whether you use the classic portal, the new portal, or if the user is using the mobile web portal.

Classic Portal Confirmation Message 


New Portal Confirmation Message


Mobile Web Portal Confirmation Message


Note: The above workflow takes place only when you create a subscription for a contact who has an unconfirmed email address. If they have previously clicked to open manual emails you've sent them from Flexmls, their email address has already been marked 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.
