Dear
MLS Update,
I
have noticed on the map in the MLS that there are different colors
of houses that appear. Can you tell my why this would be? Also,
if the house is wrong on the map, who do I call?
Coloring
in Goshen
Dear
Coloring,
The
color of the house icon indicates how precisely the address has
been plotted. The list below summarizes what the house icon colors
mean:
- Green
Icon is plotted at address
- Blue
Icon is plotted within the zip+4 area
- Red
Icon is plotted within the zip
- Yellow
Icon is plotted at the city level
One
thing that helps placing the listing correctly is if the zip+4 is
added when entering the listing. You can find the last 4 digits
of the zip code in the tax database. If the house is mapped incorrectly,
please email all the information including where the house specifically
should be and the MLS number to the MLS office at mls@ecbor.com.
Your request will be forwarded to Fidelity.
Dear
MLS Update,
How can I personalize a report?
Reporting in Elkhart
Dear
Reporting,
The
following instructions were taken from the "help" menu
in the MLS. If you have the time, you might want to visit this area
of the MLS. There is a lot of information that may be helpful to
you.
Creating
a Personalized Report
You
can personalize the headers and footers of standard reports with
an office and agent banner, prepared for and prepared by text, and
two lines of comments.
Reports
that can be personalized are indicated by an asterisk (*) in the
standard report format list.
When
you e-mail a personalized report, the graphics will not display
unless you set up your account for personalized reports. To personalize
a report:
-
Perform a search as normal and then click the View tab.
- From
the list of standard report formats, choose the report with an
asterisk (*) in front of its name.
-
Click Personalize. The Personalization Input window displays.
- In
the first section of the window, enter the URL for the office
banner graphic to include in the report or click Browse to locate
the file. By default, the location of the office banner graphic
you specify will auto-fill in this box. You can edit this location
as needed. Note: File names for graphics used in personalized
reports cannot have any spaces. Additionally, the names of any
folders containing the graphics cannot have spaces. For example,
a graphic in a folder named "My Graphics" cannot be
used because the folder name contains a space.
- If
you plan on e-mailing the report to a client you must first ensure
that the graphics you are using are publicly accessible. Choose
where you want the office banner to display by selecting one of
the options available. Be aware that items selected to display
at Report Top will always display first, followed by Page Top
and then Report Bottom.
- Repeat
steps 4 through 6 for the agent banner.
- In
the Prepared for: and Prepared by: boxes enter the appropriate
text. The Prepared by: text will auto-fill from your agent file.
- In
the box on the bottom of the screen enter text or comments for
the customer.
- Choose
where you want the Prepared for:, Prepared by:, and comment lines
to appear in the report by selecting one of the options available.
Only two lines of comments are allowed.
- Click
Activate to apply the personalization options to the report and
close the Personalization Input window.
- The
next time you choose the same customizable report format, the
personalization options you used for this report will auto-fill
in the Personalization Input window. You can change these options
as needed.
- To
e-mail the report, click E-Mail. C
- Click
Clear to clear the personalization options on the current page.
The default options will not be cleared.
