Changes to Regions/Areas - Coming May 1st

Over the past year, we have received many suggestions on changes to the MLS Regions/Areas.  Staff compiled all these ideas for the boundary changes and met with the MLS Technology Committee to discuss the details. After much research and thought, a final proposal was presented to the Board of Directors who approved the Region/Area changes outlined below.

Before viewing the summary of changes, please be aware:
  1. If your listing(s) currently displays correctly on the map in the MLS system, your listing(s) will automatically convert to the new Region/Area (if applicable).  IF YOUR LISTING IS NOT ON THE CURRENT MLS MAP CORRECTLY, YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY CORRECT THE REGION/AREA ON EACH OF THOSE LISTING(S) (again, if applicable).  
  2. Always be sure to double check your inventory after the new Regions/Areas are applied.  You know your listings best.
  3. YOU WILL HAVE TO MANUALLY CHANGE ANY SAVED SEARCH(ES) TO MATCH THE UPDATED REGIONS/AREAS.  If you do not update your saved searches you run the risk OF sending incorrect listing information to your customers.

New Format for Change Listing Module


You are busy and you need to work anywhere any time that work pops up. That means your phone
 is your lifeline. Now your lifeline just got a little stronger when it comes to the essential, day-to-day 
task of changing statuses for your listings.

Soon you’ll be able to edit your listings’ status, price, and photos from Flexmls Pro Mobile Web 

and the Flexmls Pro apps. Along with these improvements, the Change Listing screens in 
Flexmls Web will get a new, user-friendly interface to make the experience for editing listings 
in Flexmls Web, Flexmls Pro Mobile Web and the Flexmls Pro Apps as consistent as possible

WHEN WILL IT CHANGE
These updates will be available on April 12, 2018.

WHO WILL BE AFFECTED
All agents and brokers with the ability to edit listings will be able to access the new Change

Listing screen from their mobile devices when using Flexmls Pro Mobile Web, 
Flexmls Pro for iOS, and Flexmls Pro for Android.

Additionally, all users with the ability to edit listings will see the new Change Listing s

creens in Flexmls Web.

WHAT WILL CHANGE
FLEXMLS PRO
When viewing the Details for one of your listings in Flexmls Pro Mobile Web or the 

Flexmls Pro Apps, click Edit to go to the Change Listing screen. 



The Change Listing screen operates the same way as Flexmls Web. Change your status by tapping

the status you’d like to use, complete the fields, and click Save. Please note, the status change 
screens contain the same required fields and constraints that you find in Flexmls Web. 



You can also change the List Price or add and rearrange photos from the Change Listing screen.


FLEXMLS WEB
The Change Listing screen in Flexmls Web will keep all of the previous functionality, but it 

will have a new layout that responds to your screen size and has the same look and feel as the
Flexmls Pro Change Listing screen. Note that the Price Change option is in its own section, so 
it is always easily accessible.


The design for the Status and Price Change screens will also be updated. Please note, all of the previous required fields and constraints will still apply--only the design is changing, not the functionality.
Status Change Example


Price Change Example


WHY ARE WE MAKING THIS CHANGE
The ability to change listings from your mobile device provides the convenience of being able to do more with your listings regardless of where you are or what device you are using. Updating the change listing, status change, and price change screens keeps the design and functionality the same across all platforms, keeping your user-experience consistent and familiar regardless of which platform you’re using.

Portrait Oriented Photos On The List Tab

Say goodbye to stretched photos! When viewing listings in Flexmls Web, the thumbnail photo will support portrait orientation, so there will be less distortion when viewing photos on the list tab.

When Will it Change
This update is available now.

What Will Change
If a listing has a primary photo that is portrait orientation, the thumbnail version of the photo will appear on the list view in the same dimensions without stretching and distorting the photo.



Note that the column width for photos remains the same, so some white space will appear on either side of a photo that uses portrait orientation.

Why Is This Change Being Made
This update minimizes distortion in order to present an accurate photo when viewing listings.
