Agent Level Changes
The following section contains changes that are active system wide and available to users based on their assigned security levels.
Select All Associated Documents
Action Item: N/A
The first in a number of quality of life upgrades in this release. We’ve added a checkbox for associated documents allowing you to select all that are Public.
Recurring Open Houses and Tours
Action Item: N/A
With various enhancements along with new calendar controls for Open Houses and Tours, users can now select multiple dates to efficiently create recurring instances.
Input Maintenance Errors Table Enhancements
Action Item: N/A
We’ve made a number of usability and workflow improvements to help you move through and correct errors in the Input Maintenance Table.
• Resizable pane above the form
• New icons indicate condition type
• Persistent highlighting on the form
• Errors and warnings totals
• Added navigation buttons for moving through the errors (F8 still works too)
• Simplified column data by combining condition type and acceptance columns
Email CollabLink
Action Item: N/A
The new CollabLink email type allows users to send the CollabLink report. This report is designed to be responsive and accessible across all device sizes.
New Date Picker Control
Action Item: N/A
The Paragon date picker has been upgraded, which will make navigating calendars and selecting dates easier.
Simplified Save Search and Listing Cart
Action Item: N/A
The designs for Save Search and Listing Carts dialog boxes have been upgraded with better controls, straightforward wording, and consistent design. This will help usability by making workflows and instructions similar across Paragon.
Tree Enhancements
Action Item: N/A
We’ve made a number of usability enhancements to the menu (tree view) while also maintaining legacy functionality.
• Made it easier to click
• Removed unnecessary UI elements
• Promoted single items to be top level and no longer requiring a dropdown
• More intuitive method for managing favorites in Views/Reviews
Tooltip for Public Associated Documents
Action Item: N/A
A new tooltip has been added to the Add New Documents screen that explains “Public” must be checked in order for the document to be emailed from Paragon.
Listing Office Check when Converting a Subject Property
Action Item: N/A
When converting a Subject Property to a listing using CMA> Maintain Subject Property, the system will check that the Listing Agents is in the Listing Office for the selected property. If not, an error is returned and the user must select the correct office to clear the error and save. This ensures that if an agent changes offices after creating a Subject Property, the newly saved listing will be assigned to the correct office.
Link to BK Privacy Policy
Action Item: N/A
A link for the BK Privacy policy has been added to the Quick Action bar at the bottom of Paragon. This link cannot be removed when customizing the bar.
Default Phone Type for Share Via Text and Adding Contact
Action Item: N/A
When adding a new contact from the Share via Text modal, the phone type will now default to Personal Cellular.
MLS Customizations and Administration
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
Better Wording for Password Reset Email
Action Item: N/A
For those who allow password resets through Paragon, the subject line of the email sent to the user has been modified to specifically state the request comes from Paragon. This will make it easier for the user to identify and less likely to be filtered out by automated junk email filters.
Autofill from MLS Map Layer Lookups
Action Item: MLS-level map layers using Minor Area Codes or Lookups must be created for this functionality.
This enhancement uses the MLS-Level Interactive Map Layers and uses the geocode when using Listing Input and Change Geocode to autofill lookup location fields. When a listing is saved, Paragon determines the geocode, compares it to the interactive map layers with lookups, and autofills data where needed.
• If map layer data matches already provided listing data: no changes are made
• If blank or data doesn’t match: field is autofilled with the map layer lookup value and a warning notification is generated.
Note: Map Layers are created in Admin > System Setup > Interactive Map Layers
Property Watch
Action Item: Available for Customers who have Paragon Tax or CRS Data. Also available to others for a monthly fee. Contact Black Knight sales rep for more information
We are excited to announce the release of Property Watch, a new Premium Tax offering.
Property Watch gives agents the ability to select a parcel from the map and add it to a watchlist and to be notified when any of the following occurs on the public record: Foreclosures, ARM Reset, Ownership Change, Tax Delinquency, Valuation Change, New Loan or even when it’s Listed on MLS by another agent.
After a Property Watch has been added, the agent is automatically set up to receive simple, textual email alerts when something has changed on the public record. After receiving the email alert, the agent can log into Paragon to view the Alerts from a new option under the Tax Menu
Property Watch can also be used like a “favorites” for public records, giving agents a way to quickly access a public record within Paragon.
Property watches can be added from the Parcel Property Panel in the Map Search or Google Map View.
My Property Watch & Alerts
Action Item: N/A
We’ve added a new grid view that displays information about a property that also includes the property panel from the Map View. Highlighting any of the rows updates the property panel for quick access to the enhanced data.
Alerts use a similar display to the property watch grid view.
New CRS Data Integration Point
Action Item: N/A
In 5.72 we added a link to the CRS Data Property Report from the property panel that displays for listings. We’ve now added the integration point to the parcel property panel.
Enhanced Data to Parcel Panel for Premium Tax Users
Action Item: Requires Premium Tax Data Agreement. Contact Black Knight Sales Rep for additional information
We’ve added three new data sets to the parcel panel: Propensity to List Score, Owner Occupied, and REO Data.
Propensity to List: Propensity to List has been added to the parcel property panel for Premium Tax users. The feature uses a proprietary algorithm that considers a variety of data to include Sales History, Loan to Value Ratio, Estimated Equity, Owner Occupied, Foreclosure Activity and Neighborhood Trends and assigns one of the following scores that reflects the probability that a property will be listed for sale: Low, Medium, High, Very High and Listed.
Owner Occupied and REO Data: These two fields provide additional information for agents.
Homebot UI Update
Action Item: Requires Homebot to be enabled
A new, more appealing graphic, has replaced the graphic previously shown to agents who are not Homebot subscribers.
Affiliate Connect: Notifications for Sold Listings
Action Item: N/A
Added the ability for Agents to opt to send notifications to affiliates when the status of their listing(s) change to Sold. They can turn this option on in the preference settings.
Affiliate Connect: Additional Contact Information Available in Branding Block
Action Item: N/A
Affiliates can now add additional contact information to the Call to Action part of their Branding Block. This includes phone number, email, and street address.
Allow Agent to Add Comments When Sharing Contacts & Affiliates
Action Item: N/A
Added ability for Agents to add comments when sharing contact/affiliate information with contacts/affiliates.
Collaboration Center: School and Neighborhood Reports
Action Item: Currently Only Available for US Customers
Collaboration Center is getting even better with the introduction of School and Neighborhood charts and reports powered by Onboard. These new charts and reports provide users with detailed information that allows them to understand the area around their potential new home.
Paragon Connect
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
Paragon Connect Workflow Improvements
Action Item: N/A
In the 5.75 release, Paragon Connect has had a number of workflow improvements and UI updates to improve the overall user experience when using Connect.
Drawer Menu
This menu takes a more mobile centric approach to displaying menu options. It allows for the full link and quicker access to action items. This will replace several full screen modals and their circle icons.
