MLS Customizations and Administration
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
Admin –New Paragon Connect option from Collaboration Center agent notification emails
Action Item: Contact your SSM to request a change
A new configuration setting was added to allow the MLS to select which login page is presented from the “Go to Paragon” button on Collaboration Center agent notification emails. All customers will default to Paragon; please contact your SSM to request a change.
Options: None (hides the button), Paragon, or Paragon Connect
Admin –Options to search all offices or all firms in Statistical Reporting
Action Item: Contact your SSM to request a change
For customers who wish to allow users to search any office or firm in Statistical Reporting, two new configuration settings have been added.
• Allow all Offices: When enabled, this allows any user with access to an Office-level statistical report to search any office. Configuration setting options: Y, N.
• Allow all Firms: When enabled, this allows any user with access to a Firm-level statistical report to search any firm. Configuration setting options: Y, N.
When set to Y, on reports with the Listing Owner filter, the filter will default to “Listings for My Firm” or “Listings for My Office,” but will include the option “Another Firm’s Listings” or “Another Office’s Listings.”
All customers will default to N (current restrictions will continue to apply). Please contact your SSM to request a change.
Note: There is an existing configuration for Allow all Agents.
Admin –Options to modify the price value for the first recorded entry in the Property History Report
Action Item: Contact your SSM to request the configuration to be turned on
Previously in the 5.88 release we added a new feature allowing staff to modify the price value for the First Recorded Entry in Property History Report.
This feature allows a mistyped price to be corrected (eg. – user meant to enter 120,000 and entered 1200,000 instead).
When an Admin user navigates to the Price Change feature (Listings > Maintain Listings > MLS: XXX > Click on the price or Select an Action Price Change),
and updates the original price, the change will result in the appropriate History Record in the first Recorded entry field.
Please Note: This change does not affect the Listing Audit in any way.
Agent Level Changes
The following section contains changes that are active system wide and available to users based on their assigned security levels.
Automatically Display Legend When Layer is Selected
Action Item: N/A
The map layer control in Paragon has been enhanced to automatically expand the legend when the layer is selected. Previously, after clicking on the legend, users had to click on the icon to expand it. With this new functionality, just selecting the layer expands it as shown below for the current Flood Plain layer.
Collaboration Center
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
No Changes
Action Item: N/A
Paragon Connect
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
Validate Address Location
Action Item: N/A
The “Validate Address Location” is the latest enhancement added to the listing edit module. This is known as “Change Geocode” in Paragon Professional. Here’s how it works!
After entering your new listing (or from a current listing), click the overflow menu and select Validate Address Location and the map will display with a property pin and a NEW Accuracy Indicator
If the Accuracy Indicator is red, it means that the geocode accuracy is something less than 100%. If it is green, then it’s spot on at 100% OR it has been manually placed. The goal is to provide you with an easy-to-see visual display of the geocode quality.
The accuracy indicator includes a tool tip icon that when clicked will display more information about the rating.
Geocode Using Address Search
You can try manually entering the address to see if the pin moves by clicking the address search icon, entering the address and clicking the search icon again to get the result. By the way, this map search is the equivalent of the “Center Map and Zoom on this Address” in Paragon Pro.
If the default Road view doesn’t provide enough information, switch to any one of seven views using the NEW Map Types feature!
Geocode by Moving Map Pin
You can move the pin manually by clicking on the pin with a mouse or using your finger to drag the pin to the new location. After moving the pin, the Accuracy Indicator will change to green and read “Manually Placed.” If you’re happy with the location, click APPLY. You will receive a prompt that the changes were applied but that you still need to save to retain the settings.
Warning and Error Validation
In addition to being able to manually validate your location, the listing edit module will also check for any errors or warnings related to your address upon saving a listing. These are based on your business rules set for your organization.
Contact Notification Options
Action Item: N/A
Prior to the 5.89 release, contact notification settings are only adjustable in Paragon Professional. Now, Paragon Connect users can adjust a variety of notification options. Enable/disable your notifications, change notification triggers, update when your notifications are sent and more. Below breaks down the different options.
Overflow Options
While viewing a saved search card, you will notice a new three dot overflow menu icon. This icon contains a menu with all your notification options. It includes the following:
• Disable/Enable Collab Center
• Email Options
• Notification Triggers
• Notification Time Frames
• Resend Notification
• Delete Search
Note: Overflow only available on saved searches for Collab Center
Enable/Disable
You now can enable/disable saved searches from displaying in your Collaboration Center site. In the example provided, the user disables the saved search. It removes the activity chart and moves it to the bottom of the list. User can then re-enable the saved search at any time by going to the overflow menu and tapping “Enable Collaboration Center.”
Email Options
Email options allow the user to edit who receives any email notification updates from the Collaboration Center. It also allows you to add a custom message that is displayed each time a notification email is sent.
Options include:
• Add or modify primary recipients
• Add or modify Cc recipients
• Add or modify Bcc recipients
• Modify email subject title
• Add or modify Custom message
Notification Triggers
Notification triggers allow you to set what type of notifications your users will receive. Do they want to be notified on just new matches? Maybe it is new matches, price changes, status changes, etc. The notification trigger option will allow you to set what type of notifications your user will receive on each saved search.
• New Matches
• Price Changes
• Status Changes
• New Comments
• Open House Tour
• Initial Photo
Time Frames
The Notification time frame allows you to edit how long the notification is active. By default, when you setup a notification, the date range is set to a year. You cannot set the date range to be longer than a year but if your notification is about to expire you can extend it to a full 12 months.
The time frame option also contains your client and agent notification frequency options. You can choose whether the notifications are set to off, immediately, or recurring. If set to recurring, you can set the notification time and when these notifications are sent. Below are the three frequency options:
• Daily
• Weekly (choose days)
• Monthly
Delete Search
There are times when you no longer need a saved search. When this occurs, you can now use the “Delete Search” option from the saved search card overflow. This will remove the contact from the saved search and delete the card. A confirmation will display to make sure you want to delete the search.
Resend Invitation
There are times when a prospective buyer cannot find or did not receive the Collaboration Center welcome email. This welcome email contains the information needed to use and access the Collaboration Center.
When this occurs, you can now go to that saved search for that contact and resend the invitation. The resend invitation contains an email dialog where you can add additional email addresses and provide a custom message.
New Detail Report
Action Item: N/A
As we continue to optimize Paragon Connect, we are pleased to introduce our updated detail report. This report is like the previous version only there are some significant upgrades. Below are a few noticeable upgrades:
• Performance boost
• Larger, darker fonts
• Several UI Updates
Note: New detail report is only found from results generated from within the contact manager module.
Performance Boost
The loading of the report has been a major focus of the new React detail report. The goal is for that report to open as quickly as possible. This allows you to view full listing data quickly!
• Current Detail Report
4-5 Seconds
• New Detail Report
1-2 Seconds
Font Updates
There are several updates to the font type, styles, color and more. The first update is the font family being used. All the new React based components are using Roboto instead of Open Sans. It is a thicker type of font making it easier to read. The font color was also darkened to help make it easier to read. Also, the font sizes were increased. Overall, the legibility of the detail report has been greatly improved.
Current Report New React Detail Report
Additional Updates
There are several other updates made to this report. You will see updates to the mortgage calculator, AVMs, property history, public records, share options, and even how you access different menu options.
Paragon Affiliate Connect
All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.
