2 Changes to Flexmls Mobile-Maps & Messaging

   

MAPS

On May 14th, all Flexmls mobile device (Flexmls Pro for Android, Flexmls Mobile Web, or the Flexmls Portal) to access Flexmls you will be excited to hear that we’ve made the maps on your devices more responsive for you and your clients.

With this change, the map view will adapt to the user’s search.

• If the user specifies a location in their search, the map view adjusts to the area where the search results are located. The zoom level will also adjust to an appropriate level so that listing icons are clearly displayed.
• If no location is specified in the search, the default map view determines the area that is displayed.

As always, if location services are turned on for the device, the My Location (crosshairs) button can be used to recenter the map on the user’s current location.

MESSAGING

Starting June 6th, messaging features in the Flexmls mobile platform (Flexmls Pro for Android, Flexmls Mobile Web, and the Flexmls Portal) will be easier to use and more convenient than ever for you and your clients. There will be updated message threads, responsive pages that accommodate a wider range of mobile devices and screen sizes, and a new modern look and feel.

Benefits of Mobile Messaging

Advantages for Members
The built-in messaging in Flexmls provides you with a streamlined way of communicating with your clients.
When a contact sends a message from a listing, a clickable summary of the listing information is always included, making it clear which property the conversation is about. Tapping the photo will take you directly to the detail view for the listing. From there, tapping Back returns you to the contact’s message, making it easy to review a listing and then respond to a question.

Advantages for Clients
Your clients can quickly and easily ask a question, request a showing, or comment on a listing by tapping the Contact Agent button. Even if they’re not logged in, clients can send a message to their agent. (Logging in is required to see the agent’s reply.)

Internal Email Client Enhancements Are Here From Flexmls

Flexmls has improved the experience of viewing listing links sent through the Flexmls internal email client. Starting on May 30th, when you click an emailed link, you’ll see the interactive search results page, a familiar interface that gives you the information you need to do your jobs in Flexmls Web.

When Will It Change

This update will become available on May 30, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected

Members who send listing links via the Flexmls internal email client and the recipients of those links will see this change.

What Will Change

Currently, when you send a listing to another agent using the MLS E-mail page, you select a listing report to control the format of the listing information. When the recipient clicks the link, they see the information that is included in the selected listing report.

With this change, the agent sending the link will no longer select a listing report. The default listing report selected in the recipient’s General Preferences will be used automatically.

When the recipient clicks the emailed link, they will still see the listing report, but in the context of an interactive search results page. The recipient will be able to interact with the listing like they would any other search results. They’ll have more options, such as viewing all photos and documents that are attached to the listing.

Why Are We Making These Changes

FBS received requests that you needed access to better information when receiving listing emails from other members so they made it happen in response to that feedback.

Map Searching Made Easier

Starting on May 30th, everything you loved about the Map Search will be consolidated into Quick Search to help optimize your search experience in Flexmls Web.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on May 30, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
All users who have access to the Quick Search and Map Search functions in Flexmls Web will see these changes.  

What Will Change
Currently, you can start nearly identical search processes from the Quick Search and Map Search menu items in Flexmls Web. The major difference is that in the Map Search, the map view is displayed by default when you are entering search criteria.

With this change, the separate Map Search option will be removed from the Flexmls menu and the map will become the default view on the Edit Search tab. When you click Quick Search, the map view will be displayed by default next to the search criteria. If less than 1,000 listings are found, they will automatically appear on the map. If more than 1,000 listings are found, a pop-up message will show the number of results. To view the listings on the map, click the View on Map button on the message. If you prefer to view the results in a list instead, you can click the List tab.

The map view will also be displayed when you click the Edit Search tab when viewing search results. In addition, the search criteria pane will be collapsible, allowing you to use more of the screen to view the map.

Why Are We Making These Changes
Combining the two search options increases the visibility of the map search and simplifies the experience by reducing the number of menu items to choose from. These changes are part of a larger initiative to modernize the look and feel of Flexmls. By doing so, we’ll provide you with a Flexmls System that matches your business workflow, a more modern interface, and a more consistent Flexmls experience across pages and devices.

Another Terrific Tip for our MLS Members

Here's another awesome tip to help you save time. Great Stuff!

Legal Name of Subdivision Update

In our ongoing efforts to maintain the integrity of the data in the MLS system and to provide accurate and complete information, we are kicking off phase 1 of a project to clean up the Legal Name of Subdivision table. 

Details: 

• The Legal Name of Subdivision list will be more in line with tax records and more uniform overall.
• The list of Legal Subdivision Names has become confusing due to multiple entries, multiple spellings etc.
• The goal is to have a clean and straight forward list of Legal Name of Subdivisions to make listings and comparables easier to find.
• We are unable to do the entire list at one time so please be patient.  We will be implementing the updated subdivision names in phases and will be sure to keep everyone updated.
• Your listings will automatically be updated.
• Saved Searches will NOT be automatically updated. 
• We will attempt to notify you via email if one of your Saved Searches will be affected so that you can make the necessary change(s). 
• This only applies to Legal Name.

This process will begin on June 4th over the course of a 3 day time frame.  Click here for a list of subdivisions that will be affected.

If you see a subdivision on this list in your or your buyer's market area- BE SURE TO WATCH FOR AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION THAT YOUR SAVED SEARCH WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED to match the legal name as it appears in the table.  You will not be able to update your Saved Search until June 8th.

Again, watch for an email notification from us should one of your searches be impacted.  If you have any questions or need assistance, please call usa t 904-394-9494 x 1603.
