FBS will make a couple of changes to the search screen in Flexmls on April 18, 2019. These changes are based upon user feedback after the recent update.

New Search Detail Pop-up

The ability to quickly see the currently selected criteria using the “i bubble” at the top left was removed with the recent Flexmls update. This Search Detail functionality will return in a new location. You will now access the Search Detail pop-up by clicking the 3-dot icon at top right then Search Detail in the drop-down menu.

Empty Space at the Top of Search Screen Removed

The redesigned layout of the search screen created a blank, unused gray bar at the top of the search screen. This blank gray area will be removed to allow additional space for map search and criteria fields.

Several fields in the MLS, when marked “yes”, require the appropriate document be uploaded and attached to the listing.  It is very important to include these documents to accurately describe the additional features of the property for sale.  These documents help to inform all potential buyers of these property-specific features.  This will increase the perceived value of the property for sale.  Failure to upload these required documents can also result in an MLS fine.  Review the official MLS Policy below.

1.02.15 – Required Document Not Attached to Listing Fine with Warning

Documents that are required to be attached to listings must be uploaded within 5 business days of the listing entry date.

These documents include:

• Accessibility Features Worksheet
• Energy/Green Features Checklist
• Residential Dwelling/Other Structure for Land Property Worksheet

The required documents can be found at www.columbusrealtors.com on the MLS Worksheets, Forms, & Contracts page.

The Saved option on the home page will be renamed Saved Searches to match the labeling in Flexmls Web.

Links have been added at the top of the Saved Searches page to easily access favorite and draft searches. You can sort the list of saved searches by most recent, least recent, or search name. A saved search can easily be marked as a favorite by clicking on the star grey star.

The More menu (three dots) to the right of each search gives you one-click access to view details, rename, or delete that saved search.

Current Behavior:
Immediately after saving a new search, the name of the Quick Search template is still shown in the upper left corner of the page. The results will be displayed based upon the saved criteria, but the new Saved Search name is not displayed. This can make it unclear which search the user is currently working with. In addition, the Rename Search function is not available on the search results page.

Updated Behavior April 4th:
The name of the newly saved search will be immediately displayed in the upper left. This will give a clear confirmation that the search was saved and results are for the saved criteria. You will now be able to click the star icon next to the search name to mark the search as a favorite, and the Rename Search function will be available under the More icon (three dots).
