Quick Launch Relabeled

On December 21, the Quick Launch bar will be relabeled in Flexmls Web to make its functionality more intuitive. Instead of displaying text that says Quick Launch when not in use, the Quick Launch bar will display text that says Enter Address, City, ZIP, MLS#, or Menu Item.



Please Note: The Quick Launch functionality will not change.

The updated text indicates just some of the different items that the Quick Launch can search. Clicking on the Quick Launch bar allows you to access your Recent and Draft searches and by typing at least two characters into the bar, you can access the following:

• Saved Searches
• Quick Search Templates
• Your Contacts
• CMAs
• Listing Collections
• Members and Offices
• Listing Addresses
• MLS Numbers
• Menu Items

You can also search for listings by typing basic search criteria such as price, status, beds, baths, city and more into the Quick Launch bar.  For more information, click on the links below:

Option For New Tab in Quick Launch

On December 20, the Quick Launch bar will have a new, user-friendly design for opening Quick Launch items in a new tab.

Just as before, type in a name, address, MLS number or search criteria into the Quick Launch bar. When you hover over a result, you'll see a New Tab option. 



Click New Tab and the results will open in a new tab. You can use the Quick Launch bar to open as many tabs of Flexmls as you'd like. Each tab is a full instance of Flexmls, allowing you to use the full menu and access all areas of Flexmls. 



Please Note: If you use the full Flexmls website on a touchscreen device, you do not need to hover over a result to access the New Tab option. Instead, the New Tab option will automatically display for all results in the Quick Launch bar. 

New Features for Users of the Newer Flexmls Portal

If you are using the newest version of the Flexmls Portal, you will soon have the ability to include the listing history for your customers to review. On December 19, when your contacts log in to the Portal, they can view listing history when viewing a listing's details. Additionally, if you use the new Portal, you will have the option to include listing history when manually emailing listings (this feature is already available to those of you using the original Flexmls Portal).

When viewing a listing's details in the Portal, your clients can click to expand and view the Property History. 



Enable/Disable History in Your Portal
Go to the Preferences menu and select Portal Preferences. Click to expand the Listing Content Options and enable (green) or disable (gray) History in your Portal. By turning the History setting on, your contacts will see the History section by default when viewing listing details in the Portal. 



Enable/Disable History in the Portal on a Per-Contact Basis
If you use the new Portal, you can decide on a per-contact basis if listing history should be available. In Contact Management, select a contact and go to their Portal tab. Then select Change Settings and use a check mark to include (checked) or exclude (unchecked) access to listing history for the contact. Please note, a contact's individual Portal Settings will override the general Portal Preferences. 



Include History for Manually Emailed Listings
If you use the new Portal, your options for what is included in manually emailed listings are limited by what the new Portal can display. With History now available in the Portal, the option to include listing history when sending manual emails is also available.
