Summary:

1. Client search will be activated on existing new-style Client Portals on October 10, 2022.
2. All existing old-style Classic Portals will be upgraded to the new-style in October 24, 2022.
3. Search will be available on mobile and desktop versions of the Client Portal

The newer version of the Client Portal was first made available to Columbus users in 2018. There have been many improvements since then. Many users never upgrade to the new version.

One of the features of the new version of the Client Portal is the ability for the client to search for listing and mark listings as favorites. The Search button (magnifying glass on mobile) will appear at the top of the screen on desktop and Android. It will be at the bottom on iOS

The MLS committee and MLS Board of Directors believe that allowing the client to search on the MLS Client Portal is very important to stay competitive. They have decided to activate search functionality on the new portal and push the newer version of the portal to everyone. This means that all existing old-style classic portals will be automatically converted to the new version for users who have not already converted to the new version.

You will still be able to click “See All…” at the bottom of the search box if you would like to view the entire list of available options.

Due to 2022 NAR policy updates, Flexmls is making the following changes to comply with the Broker Attribution Requirement.

Flexmls will add the capability to enable Broker Attribution. This setting is controlled at the Office level and is disabled by default. No action is required and no changes will go into effect unless this preference is made active by the Office.

There is no Company level Broker Attribution field, but if you have a Flexmls Company account, you will be able to individually manage Broker Attribution for all of the Offices in your Company-level account in General Preferences under the Broker Attribution tab.

If your Office wishes to make Broker Attribution active, they can enable this in the General Preferences under the new Broker Attribution tab in one of two ways:

• Office enters default email address or phone number for all Office listings
  OR
• Office chooses to designate the Broker Attribution field to a Listing Agent
  • If the Broker Attribution field is designated to the Listing agent by the Office, the agent can enable their own Broker Attributions under General Preferences in the new Broker Attribution tab.
    • The listing agent enters a default email address or phone number for all Listing Agent Listings
      AND
    • The listing agent can set the Broker Attribution field when adding or editing a listing.

If the Broker Attribution field is designated to a listing agent, all of the agent’s listings will inherit the email address or phone number entered and will be included in data feeds. 

Note: If this setting is disabled at the Office level, the preference will not be viewable at the agent level.

The Broker Attribution tab is now accessible under General Preferences. Select the radio button to make Broker Attribution active at the Office level. Then, add a default email address or phone number, or designate to a listing member.

If the Office has made broker attribution active at the agent level, that agent will have the option to select the radio button to make Broker Attribution active and add a default email address or phone number for all of their listings.

If Broker Attribution is designated to a listing member, the option to assign Broker Attribution is available when adding a listing.

If Broker Attribution is designated to a listing member, the option to assign Broker Attribution is available when editing a listing.
