Recent enhancements for Agents

As promised, here is a partial list of some new or updated features we added to BAS for Real Estate Agent members last week.

1. New calendar and time selectors. We've made choosing the date and time of appointments just a little bit easier.

2. New "trends" report dashboard. You can now graph appointment activity for you, your office or the board anytime you want. Look for the "trends" report in the Reports menu option.

3. Desktop calendar sync. Synchronize all of your BAS appointments with your desktop calendar that supports remote web calendars (Outlook 2007, Mozilla Sunbird, Apple iCal, Google Calendar, etc). It's very easy to setup - just go to the Settings page and grab the calendar link. Look for detailed instructions (on the blog) for setting this up soon.

4. New NON-MLS account types when setting up appointments. Now when you setup appointments for people outside the MLS, you will create a special type of account that allows them to get email notifications and respond to showing feedback forms. Once added, these new accounts are visible to everyone in your board.

5. Improved the appointment detail view when looking at the details of an appointment.

6. New Blue check mark icon indicating a listing with showing instructions but no seller. We used to have 3 options but now we've added a 4th (blue) option indicating whether a listing has showing instructions or other information added but has no seller yet.

7. Auto approve and Allow showings not have an expiration date. A very popular option in BAS (auto approve) now has an expiration date along with the allow showings setting. If you need to turn these features on or off at a specific date, now you can!

8. A new client filter on the listings page.

9. Make changes to listings. You can now make small changes to MLS listings if need be right from the edit listings page.
