Admin Features– Miscellaneous Updates

Action Item: N/A

To improve functionality, various updates have been added to several modules in the admin module.

• Admin > Reports > Office Reports > Office Roster: The Office State filter was added, and the Office City filter was changed to a lookup, making it consistent with the Office City filter on other roster reports.

 

• Admin > Manage > Firms: From the Firms grid, selecting Report now opens the report filters and results in new tabs, rather than replacing the grid view.

 

 

• Admin > Manage > Teams: From Teams > Modify Teams, all the columns on the Team Members grid have been enhanced to sort the grid in ascending or descending order, as is common throughout Paragon.

 

• Admin > Listing > State: All the columns have been enhanced to sort the grid in ascending or descending order, as is common throughout Paragon.

 

• Admin > Listing > Fields > agent and office fields: The Default Value was removed for all Agent and Office fields. This allows the field data to load much faster, as it does not need to load the entire list of agent or office names in the Default Value field.

 

Admin – Collaboration Center – Option to turn off Manual Login

Action Item: Contact your SSM if you wish to turn off the Collaboration Center client manual login requirement.

To accommodate our customers’ request, we have provided an option to turn off the client manual login requirement in Collaboration Center. Turning off the login requirement removes the create and reset password information from the client email notifications, hides the “Create an account” page on Collaboration Center, hides the Login page, and hides the Logout button.

Please note that this does NOT make the Collaboration Center a public site. Links to the Collaboration Center in the client emails contain a unique ID that will automatically log the user into their personal Collaboration Center site. Without that unique ID, they will not be able to access the site.

The client will need to access the site from the links in the client email notifications or welcome email. Attempting to access the site from a bookmark will return a “session ended” message instructing the user to use the emailed links or contact their real estate professional.

 

Agent Level Changes

The following section contains changes that are active system wide and available to users based on their assigned security levels.

Website Cookie Acceptance Banner

To meet Black Knight standard website requirements, users will need to accept the consent to the use of cookies banner displayed when logging in.

 

 

Saved Property Searches – Change default sort to Search Name

Based on feedback from users, the default sort order for the Saved Property Searches grid will be by the Search Name. The grid can still be re-sorted by clicking the other column headers.

 

Rosters – New State Filter

At users’ request, a filter for Office State was added to the Agent Roster, Membership Roster, and Affiliate Roster. The State filter is a standard lookup with type-ahead capability. Results will be filtered by the State field in the office’s physical address.

Statistical Reporting – Add Median to various Statistical Reports

 

Median calculations have been added to the Market Statistics report, Ranking reports, and Month End report, bringing added value to these statistical reports.

Note: Available Statistical reports may vary by MLS.

 

 

 

 

Connect View in Paragon Professional

The Connect View already exists today in your Paragon Professional system. However, in 5.91 the report has been completely upgraded. While the functionality and data will remain, the same there are key upgrades that you will enjoy.

Performance

The report’s backend and frontend have been upgraded to use our latest Next Generation coding features. The report should now display and function much faster than before.

Display

All font sizes are increased from 12px to 14px, the font color is darkened, and the font type has been changed to a cleaner and easier to read font.

Combining Features and Fields

The new detail report now allows you organization to mix features and fields in the same section.

Previously, features could only be displayed in a feature section.

Additional Updates

A number of other updates have been made to this report including the mortgage calculator, AVMs, property history, public records, and more.

Range added back to Zestimate AVM

At some point in 2022, Zestimate stopped passing the range values in their API. With no notice to vendors who consume the API, they replaced the range with a percent value with the expectation that vendors would calculate the range. In 5.91, we have added the calculation and the range appears again.

Prior to 5.91

 

With 5.91

 

Which matches the values displayed on Zillow. By the way, did you know that you can jump to the property in Zillow by clicking on the Zestimate logo in the AVM in Paragon?

 

 

Collaboration Center

All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.

Client Email Notifications

To be compliant with CAN-SPAM and CSL regulations, the agent’s address has been added to the signature block at the bottom of the Client email notifications and Welcome emails. The address displayed is based on the agent’s Preferred Mailing Address, as specified in the Paragon member record. Preferred Mailing Address options are Agent, Office, No Mail. If the preferred address is not populated in the member record, the next available address will display, in this order:

1. Agent:

a. Agent Mailing Address

b. Agent Physical Address

c. Office Physical Address

2. Office:

a. Office Mailing Address

3. No Mail:

a. Office Physical Address

All options in this section are either configurable via MLS Administration controls or by your System Support Manager as noted.

Search Added to Listing Maintenance

The listing maintenance module that was just added in 5.90 includes the ability to view, filter, and manage your published listings. In 5.91, we have continued to add functionality to this module. Now you can use a search feature to locate any of your listings. This helps users with quickly being able to find a specific listing. You can search using the listing’s address, listing number, city, or zip code.

Prominent App Bar Update

The prominent app bar is a larger version of the traditional app bar. It is used when additional information is needed to be displayed.

Key Features

• Smaller prominent app bar

DOM - Thumbnail View

The new React thumbnail view that is found with the contact manager and hotsheet now has the Days on Market (DOM) field added to the view. This will help you quickly see how long the listing has been on the market. Single Result - Detail Report

When you click or tap on any link containing only one result, the system will now take you to the detail view rather than the thumbnail view. This allows you to quickly see the detail of a single listing.

Filter – Background

To help identify when a filter is applied, the background of the filter will now display in a background fill. When you see this background color you will know that a filter is being used.

Required Only

The ability to add a listing may or may not be available in your system. If it is available, the top app bar now contains a flag icon. When you click or tap on this icon, the system will show only required fields. Clicking or tapping this again will return all fields.

 

Organizational Messages

Your system administrator now can send you messages. The admin can send important messages to everyone, to your firm, to your office, to an agent type, or even to individual agents.

You will notice a new megaphone icon on the homepage of Paragon Connect. You can click/tap on this icon at any time to read any previous messages. If you see a new count on the megaphone, it will indicate you have a new message to read.

 

Messages

The messages will contain the date the message was published, an admin icon, and the subject of the message.

The subject will have a bold styling if the message is unread. Once you have read a message, the bold styling is removed.
