1. Detail fields now display in a single column on Results screen
   1. Previously, fields with multiple pick list items could not be displayed on the Results in Flexmls in a single column. Each item would have its own column.
   2. Fields such as Parking Type, Basement Description, etc. were affected by this limitation.
   3. This is now corrected and multi-pick fields are now summarized in a single column.
2. Summary information for viewed subscription emails on Contact Management
   1. In the “email activity” section on Contact Management, you will see a new label ‘Subscriptions Viewed”. This will quickly indicate how many email the contact has viewed.
   2. There is also an SV column on the Contact Management screen that will display the same number for quick reference.
   3. Clicking the number in the SV column will take the user to the Subscription details for that client on the My Sent Email page.
3. Multiple PDF attachments can now be printed simultaneously
   1. Previously, if multiple PDF documents were attached it was difficult to print all simultaneously.
   2. FBS added a print button on the screen to allow easy printing of all PDF documents.
4. New Columns available on Contact Management: Date Created and Date Modified
   1. Date Created displays the date the contact was created in Flexmls
   2. Last Modified shows the most recent date and time the contact was edited by the agent.
   3. Either new column must be manually added to the Contact Management fields under the Advanced button.
5. Improved Sync for Subscriptions between Flexmls Pro App and Web

   3. Version features: improved sharing, login less frequently, search listing collections, improved sorting, and other minor enhancements and bug fixes.
7. Portal Preference change: Include becomes Exclude – Coming October 19
   1. Currently, the “News feed” settings on the Portal preferences is “Allow these statuses in the portal news feed”.
   2. This function will be reversed. The description will be “Exclude these listing statuses…in the news feed”.
   3. There will also be a “per client” setting on the Portal tab on Contact Management under “Change Settings” link.
8. Centralized subscription settings – Coming October 19

The Saturation Analysis report was temporarily removed from the Statistical reports due to confusion about the formula used to calculate the report.  The report was removed until the calculation was verified by FBS.  Additionally, the criteria used to create the report is now displayed at the top for further clarity for members who use this report.

This report has now been restored to the Statistics menu in the Inventory and Production section.

Agents will now be able to link directly to the private, agent-only reports from manual email.

1. Previously, only subscription auto-email contained links to the private version of the report in the agent copy.  Agent copies of manual email did not have the private report links.  This required the agent to copy the MLS# and open a new MLS window to see the private reports.
2. The yellow box at top of email identifies “Agent Only” links. This yellow box with link to private reports will now appear on all agent copies of email (subscription and manual).  The agent can now simply click the private link to see the agent-only private report.
3. Public links are still accessible by clicking the link in the body of the email (same as subscription email)

Listings emailed to the client manually now function as “opt-in” for that client’s email address.

How the new opt-in process works:

1. If a contact clicks a manual email link from the agent, it will count as confirmation of their email address and allow them to receive subscription updates
2. An additional line of disclaimer text was added to manual emails: “By clicking a link in this email, you agree to receive future listing-related automatic emails from your real estate agent.”
3. Each time a contact clicks a link within a subscription or manual email will extend the expiration 13 months.
4. If the client has previously opted-out of subscription email, clicking a manual link will function as opt-in for subscription email.  This will limit the need for agents to use the “send opt-in request” option.  Simply sending a listing to that client’s email address will function as opt-in confirmation (once link is clicked).

The wording of the initial subscription opt-in email and confirmation screen have been updated as of September 12, 2016.

Notable changes include:

1. Text updated to “We’re excited to be helping you with your real estate needs. We’ve set up a free portal for you. To get started, click the button below to confirm you want to receive email updates from [agent’s name].”
2. Confirm Button updated to “Yes, Please Send Me Listings.”
3. Clicking “Yes, Please Send Me Listings” now displays a confirmation of subscription opt-in and allow the client to view their News Feed by clicking View Listings.
4. The Manage Subscription link will allow them to unsubscribe from listing updates.

The MLS will be intermittently inaccessible on Friday, September 9th between 1:00am and 5:00am. The Flexmls system may be completely offline for approximately 30 minutes during this window.

This planned maintenance downtime is due to a system upgrade taking place at a network provider used by our vendor, FBS.

*Update at 9:37am* – Print to PDF functionality looks to be restored. We are still following up with several other smaller issues.

*Original* We are seeing that it appears the Print to PDF option that was available in several locations within Flexmls is currently unavailable. This, along with several other smaller issues, appears to be the result of the software vendor restoring access to the system after a brief period of inaccessibility this morning.

We are in touch with the vendor and expect to see functionality fully restored at some point today. We will update this notice as we learn more from our vendor.
