Welcome to Flexmls. In this video, we’ll take a look at some of the major functions in Flexmls web. When you log in, you’ll find yourself on a dashboard. Each gadget on the dashboard provides quick access to specific features like your contacts, hot sheet, saved searches, and more. The dashboard is fully customizable.
You can rearrange the gadgets, change a gadget’s settings, or even add and remove gadgets using the customize link in the upper right corner. To leave the dashboard, use the menu located in the upper left. Click on a function to use it, or hover over any menu item and you can add it to your favorites by clicking on the star next to it. Marking a menu item as a favorite gives you one click access to your most frequently used functions.
Next, let’s take a look at the QuickSearch. The QuickSearch is the most powerful search tool in Flex MLS. There are three parts to the QuickSearch. The search template, where you enter in your search information such as location, price range, total bedrooms, bathrooms, and more.
If you’d like, you can also incorporate the map into any of your searches.
The second part of the search are the search result tabs that allow you to view and select results in a list, a detailed view, on the map, photos, and more. On any of the results tabs, you can also select listings.
Finally, you have actions you can take with your search results at the top right of the screen. You can share the listing via text, email the listing, print the listing, or even save the search for a contact. Another important area in Flexmls is contact management. Here you can identify your most active contacts using the Activity column, which shows which contacts are viewing listings they’ve received from you.
You can also drill down into a contact’s details to see their contact information, which listings they’ve viewed and how many times they’ve viewed them, searches you’ve saved for them, and actions that they are taking with listings in your client portal.
Next, let’s take a look at adding listings in Flexmls. If you have the ability to add or change listings, you’ll see a section called Add Change in your menu. To begin adding a listing, select the Add Listing option.
To enter the listing, add the listing information on each tab. Required fields are red and marked with an asterisk.
If you’d like to add photos, documents, or videos to a listing, you can save it as incomplete and add that information before the listing is live. To finish adding the listing and make it live and accessible to all members, go back to the Listing Information page. Make sure all required fields have been completed, and then click add listing. Next, let’s take a look at how to add your photo to your profile.
First, click on your initials in the upper right corner and select My Profile. From here, you may be able to update your contact information as allowed by your MLS. You might also have access to reset your password by clicking on security. We’ll add a profile photo so it can be included when you share listings from Flexmls. Click on personal photo and logo maintenance, and then click New.
Next to type, select Photo. Type in a description. Then click Choose File. Select the photo from your files. Then click add. Your photo will automatically resize to fit your signature block when you share listings. Click done.
Finally, don’t forget that there are many help options in Flexmls. Guided help will provide on screen pop ups that guide you through specific tasks like creating subscriptions, which are automatic listing updates for your contacts. You can also use the dropdown menu in the upper right.
This will give you access to help with the page you are currently on, the full Flexmls help site, video tutorials, and the Flexmls Academy, as well as support. This concludes our introduction to Flexmls. Thank you.
