TREND UPDATE:
WANT LISTINGS DESELECTED ON REPORTS? CHANGE YOUR PREFERENCES
In June TREND released new MLS preferences that allow you to decide how to manage your "listing selection" process with our new interactive maps and the MLS. At the same time, they also released interactive maps into Public Records. The following are the new preferences that were added and what their defaults are:
· Search results selected by default: This preference lets you decide whether or not all of your results will be automatically selected or deselected. The default for this preference is: YES
· Show map by default: NO
· Print individual map (on client reports only): YES
· Print map of all listings: NO
The addition of these preferences will improve your report workflow and allow you to customize the MLS to work the way you want. When viewing your results in public records, all of your listings will be automatically deselected. This functionality has not changed.
