We’ve created a new mobile and portal search experience that is faster, more intuitive, and tailored to agent needs.  This new experience brings popular desktop features to the mobile experience, bringing us closer to our goal of complete consistency across platforms. 

When is this available?

June 20, 2024

Where is this available? 

This search experience will be released to the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com), the Android Agent app, and Portals. You can expect to see updates to iOS by the end of the year. 

What’s New? 

This new search brings a familiar workflow from desktop to mobile search, allowing you to search (filter based on specific criteria), find (view search results), and act (share a listing, use third party integrations, etc.) via expandable and collapsible panels. 

Step 1 – Search:
Use the filter panel to specify your search criteria. This is where you will select your search template and fill out fields you wish to search on. You may already be familiar with this panel, as it was part of our mobile updates in 2023. 

Step 2 – Find: 

In the middle section, you can see your search results based on the filters you specified in Step 1. Here, you have different options for viewing your results, including our new Summary View and Stats View, as well as the familiar List View and Map View. 

Summary View

In your search results, the new Summary View gives you all the important property information at a glance, without having to select each individual listing. This view now shows a large main photo while also displaying the most important property information, customized by an agent’s selected View. With this view, you don’t have to load the full listing to complete actions like sharing a listing or viewing showing info. You can do it right here in the Summary View. You also have access to these actions in the List View. 

Stats View

You can be a market expert even on-the-go. The Stats Tab, previously only available on desktop, is now on mobile too. The Stats tab allows you to find statistical data for all the listings in your current search. For any search, you can easily access Average, Median, Low, and High values for key indicators like price, size, and time on market.

Step 3 – Act: 

Now that you’ve searched and viewed listings, you can choose the action you want to take in the new Toolbox panel. Whether you want to share the listing with a client or add it to a customer collection, you can do it on-the-go. 

Toolbox Panel

The Toolbox panel is where you can take action with your search and listing. It includes the options for sharing or saving searches, working with third-party integrations, sharing a listing, hiding or recommending to a contact, and more.

Blue Action Bar

We’ve provided one consistent place to make it easier and more convenient to take the next step on a specific listing. With the blue action bar, you can: quickly copy a listing URL, share and recommend a listing, search comps, view showing info, report an error, take action with a third-party application, and more. 

 

Save This Search

Quickly name and save a search using the new Save This Search option. Simply type in the name you want to call your search at the top bar labeled “Save This Search.” You will then be able to access the search from your Saved Searches. 

In an effort to make it easier for you to manage listings wherever, whenever–we are excited to start rolling out multiple enhancements for Listing Entry and Listing Maintenance over the next few months. Our first round of updates will allow you the ability to view, edit media, and remove incomplete listings on the Flexmls For Real Estate Pros App and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com).

This update is just the first of many. We will continue to focus on improvements to make listing entry and maintenance faster, with more accurate and in-depth data.

When Will It Change?
5/26/22.

What Will Change?
There will now be a menu item under the profile menu for Incomplete Listings. Here you will be able to view any incomplete listings you have access to on Flexmls desktop. You will then be able to edit or delete an incomplete listing from your mobile device. Editing will allow you to make changes to photos, documents, videos, and virtual tours.

While a great desktop experience is essential, it is just as important for you to be able to use Flexmls on the go. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the Flexmls experience for you, and that includes a seamless experience from desktop to mobile. With that, we’ve expanded our mobile search feature on the Flexmls For Real Estate Pros Android App and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com) to now include the option to draw and filter searches by multiple shapes—a feature which was only previously available on desktop. With this new feature, you can now choose to draw a rectangle, circle, or custom polygon, and filter your searches by as many shapes as you would like. Additionally, saved searches from desktop will now display the shapes in mobile and vice versa, for both you and homebuyers. Beckyallie

When Will It Change?

This update is available now.

What Has Changed?

The Flexmls app now has the ability to draw and filter searches by multiple shapes, a feature previously available only on desktop. Saved searches from desktop can now display the shapes in mobile, and vice versa.

Custom Views created on Flexmls Desktop are now accessible when searching on the Flexmls For Real Estate Pros Android App and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com). The View controls which columns are displayed on the List tab of search results. To display a different set of columns, select a different view in the drop-down menu. We are happy to deliver enhancements like this to ensure continuity between desktop and mobile experiences in Flexmls.

When Will It Change?
This update is available now.

What Has Changed?
Previously, custom Views created on Flexmls Desktop were not available on mobile.

We’re excited to announce a new search results enhancement on the Flexmls For Real Estate Pros Android App and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com). We’ve added a Filter by map bounds check box and when checked, only the listings that are currently visible on the map will be displayed in the list. If you click on the map and zoom in or out, the number of listings in the Photos and List views will change. When you uncheck the Filter by map bounds, your List view will show all results, not just those displayed on the Map view. 

When Will It Change?
This update is available now.

What Has Changed?
Previously, search results on mobile were automatically restricted based on the visible map area. Unmapped listings or listings that fell outside of the map boundaries were not included in the Photos or List views. With this change, you control whether search results are restricted based on the map.

We’ve added the Filter by map bounds check box on the mobile search results page. When the box is not checked, all listings that meet the search criteria are included in the Photos view and List view.

When you click the Filter by map bounds check box, only the listings that are currently visible on the map will be displayed in the list. If you click on the map and zoom in or out, the number of listings in the Photos and List views will change.

Tried and true, it’s still all about location. Because location is one of the most important factors in a home search, we’re bringing an updated location search experience to  the Flexmls For Real Estate Professionals App (Android) and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com). Now all of your location fields are conveniently located in a group at the top of the Filters page when you search for properties.

When Will It Change?
This update is available now for the Flexmls For Real Estate Professionals App (Android) and the Flexmls Mobile website (m.flexmls.com).

What Has Changed on Mobile Web & Android?
Previously, the Location search bar was displayed at the top of the Filters page, and you could use it to search on any location field. To see the individual location fields included in the Quick Search template, you needed to scroll through the rest of the filters on the page. If you added a location field to the filters, it would appear at the bottom of the list.

With this change, the Location Search bar is still available, but all of the location fields included in the Quick Search template are also grouped in a Location section at the top of the Filter page. If you add a location field, it will appear in the Location group at the top of the page rather than at the bottom of the filter list.

Will These Changes Be Coming To Flexmls Web?
Previously we announced that the new location field group at the top of the search pane in Quick Search in Flexmls Web was going to be released to all MLSs. After further development, we are reevaluating how these changes will impact individual MLSs. We will be in contact when we have new launch dates and details available for bringing the new location search experience to Flexmls Web.

Why Are We Making These Changes?
This change is part of a project to improve location searching in the Flexmls Platform. 

We know that you’re always on the go, so we’re adding the ability to report listing errors from your Flexmls Pro App (iOS & Android). The Flexmls Web version of this page will also receive a visual refresh to make it easier to use and to provide you with a consistent experience on all platforms.

When Will It Change?
This update will be available on June 25, 2020.

Note: If your MLS uses iCheck or Monsoon for error reporting, the changes won’t be available right away on the 25th (for iPhone users only) but it will be coming soon. Please check back here for updates on when it will be released.

Who Does This Benefit?
Everyone! If your MLS allows you to access error-reporting, you will be able to report listing errors from any device, which in turn helps the MLS improve data quality.

What Will Change?
Currently, error reporting is only available on Flexmls Web, if enabled in your MLS. Soon, you will have convenient access to error reporting on the go right from your Flexmls Pro app.

Report Errors from Mobile Devices
To access your new error-reporting tool, start in the Flexmls Pro app (for iOS or Android) or from Flexmls Pro mobile web. On the detail page for a listing, click the More (three dots) menu, then click Report Violation. (Note: This option may have a different name in your MLS, but the function is the same.)

When you click this option, a new Report Violation page will open. To report a listing error or rule violation, enter a description and then click Send. An email will be sent to the recipients that are defined by your MLS.

Before sending a report, you can scroll to the bottom of the page to see who will receive it. Typically, the MLS Administrator can view a version of the report that includes your name. The listing and co-listing agents typically receive the report with your name removed.

Report Errors in Flexmls Web
The update also includes a refreshed Report Violation page in Flexmls Web, making the experience consistent across all platforms. Access this option just like you would on a mobile device. Select a listing on the search results page, click the More (three dots) menu, then click Report Violation. (Note: This option may have a different name in your MLS, but the function is the same.) When you click this option, the same Report Violation page will open.

Why Are We Making These Changes?
Error reporting by members is a key method of ensuring data quality for many MLSs. This change makes the error-reporting process available from anywhere and consistent on all platforms.

Starting March 12th, you’ll be able to zoom in on the map in Flexmls Pro Android/Mobile Web and tap on any parcel to view the most recent listing, if available, for that property.

When Will It Change
This update will be available on March 12, 2020. 

What Will Change
Previously, the map view on your mobile device showed information only for listings returned in your search results. You could not click on other parcels to view information. 

With this change, you can tap on any parcel on the map to view available listing history. To use this feature, first zoom in on the map until you can see property/parcel boundaries.

Then tap on any parcel to view details. If the property has been listed before in the MLS, the last listing for that property will be displayed. Tap on the listing bubble for more information about the listing.

Why Are We Making These Changes
This map improvement enables you to view information about other listings in the area of your search results without modifying your search.

Starting March 5th, the sorting options on the Saved Searches page will be clearer, making it easier for you to manage your saved searches.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on March 5, 2020 in Flexmls Web and Flexmls Pro for Android/Mobile Web.

What Will Change
Previously, you could sort your saved searches by Most Recent, Least Recent, or Name.

With this change, the sorting options are clearer and more specific. You can choose from Viewed Most Recently, Viewed Least Recently, Modified Most Recently, Modified Least Recently, and Name.

Why Are We Making These Changes
Identifying the searches that you haven’t viewed or modified lately helps you determine which searches you may want to update or delete.

Starting on February 27th, we’re giving the Office/Member Search page in Flexmls Web, Flexmls Pro for Android/Mobile Web a visual refresh that will provide a more modern look and be easier to use.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on February 27, 2020.

Note: Not all users will see this change right away on February 27th. The change will be rolled out gradually and will be monitored by FBS for potential issues. 

What Will Change
The Office/Member Search page is getting a complete makeover to make it easier to use and to give it an updated, modern appearance. 

Search, Sort, and Filter
Instead of choosing between Search and Pick From a List tabs, the list of offices will be displayed automatically. You’ll be able to choose from Offices, Members, and Teams (if available in your MLS) tabs to narrow your search.

At the top of the page, you can use the Search box to search the current tab by name, short ID, phone number, ZIP code, or email address (if allowed by your MLS). Next to the Search box, click the Sort by menu to sort the list. By default, every tab is sorted alphabetically by name. You can also sort the Members tab by office name, and you can sort the Teams and Offices tabs by city. If you select a different sorting option, your preference will be saved, and that sorting option will be used the next time you go to the page.

Click the Filters button at the top right to further customize your search results. You can filter by member languages or include members from data share MLSs in the search (if available in your MLS).

Administrative users can select to include inactive or “not in list” members. A caution icon will be displayed next to offices, members, or teams that are inactive or not displayed in lists. 

View Listings
If your MLS allows listings to be viewed from the Office/Member Search page, you can click the More (three vertical dots) menu to view listings for the selected office, member, or team. (Options will vary based on the tab that is selected.)

Click the View Listing Options button at the top of the page to set your preferences for viewing office, member, or team listings. Select the transaction roles (listing member, co-listing member, selling member, co-selling member) and listing statuses you want to include by default.

If you select an off-market status such as Expired or Closed, you can also select a date range. Click Exact Date Range to set specific start and end dates for the date range. Click Relative Date Range to set a date range that is relative to the current date, such as In the last month, Last 6 months, Year to Date, or Last 12 months. Click Future dates included to include off-market dates up to 10 years in the future. For example, if you select In the last month and Future dates included, the date range will start one month before the current date and end 10 years in the future.

Click Save to save changes to your settings. These settings will be used every time you use the Office/Member Search.

View Office, Team, or Member Profile Information
Click on an office, member, or team to view profile information. When you view an office profile, tabs for Office Members and Office Teams will be available. When you view a team profile, a Team Members tab will be available. Click a member name in any list to view that member’s profile information.

Note: If you have the appropriate permissions, you can also edit the selected office/member/team or reset the password from the profile details page. In addition, some profile information is viewable only by users with edit permission. 

Flexmls Pro Mobile Changes
The same enhancements will be applied to the Office/Member Search page in the Flexmls Pro mobile app for Android and the Flexmls Pro mobile website. 

Why Are We Making These Changes
These changes are part of a larger initiative to modernize the look and feel of Flexmls. By doing so, we’re providing you with a Flexmls system that matches your business workflow, a more modern interface, and a more consistent Flexmls experience across pages and devices.

The ability to save and share a new search instantly is fundamental to your work in Flexmls. That’s why on July 11th, we’re updating the experience to make it consistent and easier to use on Flexmls Pro for Android/Mobile Web.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on July 11, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Users who save and share new searches via Flexmls Pro for Android or Mobile Web will see these updates. These changes do not apply to the Flexmls Pro app for iOS.

What Will Change
Current Experience
Currently, when you create a new search and share it using the Flexmls Pro Android app or the Flexmls Pro mobile website, only email sharing is available. You can’t share via other apps on your device. In addition, saving and sharing a search at the same time can be error-prone.

Updated Experience
With this change, when you create a new search and share it using the Flexmls Pro Android app or the Flexmls Pro mobile website, saving and sharing the search are separate steps. First, you will name the search and click Save and Share.

Next, the Share Search screen is displayed, where you can select a contact and email the new search. If the person that you want to share with isn’t already a contact, you can create a new contact on the fly. The More option generates a link that you can share from the available apps on your device.

Why Are We Making These Changes
Members and their clients increasingly use mobile devices to complete tasks. These changes make it easier for members to share listings with clients and to set up subscriptions using mobile devices. This update also makes the features more consistent between iOS and Android apps.

Starting on June 6th, we made the messaging features in our Flexmls mobile platform (Flexmls Pro for Android, Flexmls Mobile Web, and the Flexmls Portal) easier to use and more convenient than ever for your members and their clients. They can look forward to updated message threads, responsive pages that accommodate a wider range of mobile devices and screen sizes, and of course, a new modern look and feel.

Benefits of Mobile Messaging Advantages for Members
The built-in messaging in Flexmls provides you with a streamlined way of communicating with your clients.

When a contact sends a message from a listing, a clickable summary of the listing information is always included, making it clear which property the conversation is about. Tapping the photo will take you directly to the detail view for the listing. From there, tapping Back returns you to the contact’s message, making it easy to review a listing and then respond to a question.

Message management is easier because messages from a contact are gathered in one place. Instantly send a reply by entering a return message and tapping Send. Questions and replies stay together in threads.

For members, messages are also a great way to direct contacts to the client portal.

Advantages for Clients
Your clients can quickly and easily ask a question, request a showing, or comment on a listing by tapping the Contact Agent button. Even if they’re not logged in, clients can send a message to their agent. (Logging in is required to see the agent’s reply.)

Because the clickable listing summary is always included, clients can also tap the photo in a message to view the details of the listing.

When Will It Change
This update will become available on June 6, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Members who use the Flexmls Pro Android app or mobile website and clients who view the Flexmls Portal on a mobile device will notice these updates.

What Will Change
With this change, message threads are getting an updated, modern look. Messaging pages on mobile will also become more responsive, accommodating a wider range of mobile devices and screen sizes.

Why Are We Making These Changes
Members and their clients increasingly use mobile devices to complete tasks, and about two-thirds of all portal visits are on mobile devices. These changes make it easier for clients and members to communicate with each other about listings using their mobile devices.

If you use a mobile device (Flexmls Pro for Android, Flexmls Mobile Web, or the Flexmls Portal) to access Flexmls you will be excited to hear that we’ve made the maps on your devices more responsive for you and your clients.

When Will It Change
This update became available on May 14, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Members who use the Flexmls Pro Android app or mobile website and clients who view the Flexmls Portal on a mobile device will notice these updates.

What Will Change
Previously, when a mobile user viewed listings on the map, the map display area was determined by that user’s current location. If the user searched for listings outside of their current location, they would need to pan the map or change the zoom level to find their listings. If location services were turned off on the mobile device, the default map area for the MLS was displayed, even if search results were displayed off the map.

With this change, the map view will adapt to the user’s search.

• If the user specifies a location in their search, the map view adjusts to the area where the search results are located. The zoom level will also adjust to an appropriate level so that listing icons are clearly displayed.
• If no location is specified in the search, the default map view determines the area that is displayed.

As always, if location services are turned on for the device, the My Location (crosshairs) button can be used to recenter the map on the user’s current location.

Why Are We Making These Changes
You and your clients are increasingly using your mobile devices to work with Flexmls, and we realize that a location-aware map is critical. These changes make the map even more useful for those who search for, view and work with listings on mobile devices.

Starting on April 11th, we’re updating the Saved Searches page in Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web with a modernized look that is user-friendly and more intuitive.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on April 11, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Users of the Flexmls Pro Android app or Mobile Web who currently have access to the Saved Searches function will see these updates.

What Will Change
The Saved option on the home page will be renamed Saved Searches to align with the Flexmls Web desktop application.

We’ve added links at the top of the Saved Searches page to easily access favorite and draft searches. We’ve also added the ability to sort the list of saved searches (by most recent, least recent, or search name) and the ability to add a saved search to your favorites by clicking on the star.

The More (three dots) icon will be displayed next to each saved search name. The More menu gives you one-click access to view saved search details, rename the saved search, or delete the saved search.

Why Are We Making These Changes
These changes are part of a larger initiative to modernize the look and feel of Flexmls. By doing so, we’ll provide your members with a Flexmls system that matches their business workflow, a more modern interface, and a more consistent Flexmls experience across pages and devices.

Starting on April 4th, the Collections page in Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web will be updated with a modernized look that is user-friendly and more intuitive.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on April 4, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Users of the Flexmls Pro Android app or Mobile Web who currently have access to the Listing Collections function will see these updates.

What Will Change
The Collections page will be renamed Listing Collections to align with the Flexmls Web desktop application. We’ve also added a Search bar at the top of the page to help you find the listing collection you need.

The Edit button that is currently used to delete listing collections will be removed. Instead, the More (three dots) icon will be displayed next to each collection name. The More menu gives you one-click access to view collection details, rename the collection, or delete the collection.

Why Are We Making These Changes
This change is part of an ongoing initiative to modernize the look and feel of Flexmls to make it easier to use and provide a consistent user experience.

Starting on January 31st, you’ll see a new look to the listing detail page in Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. There will be expandable containers to view listing details and history, and a map icon to view the location. These updates will also be available for consumers viewing listings on mobile browsers. Additionally, consumers will have access to separate containers for history and tax information (as allowed by your MLS).

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on January 31, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
Anyone using Flexmls Pro for Android or Mobile Web will receive these updates. Consumers will also notice these changes when they view the public detail page on mobile web browsers.

What Will Change
Expandable Containers
When viewing a detail page, there will be expandable containers to display the listing’s Features, History, Taxes, and additional information. Tap the Show More link to expand a container and view more information. Please note that you’ll need to tap Show More in the Features section to view most of the listing details. Map Icon
To access the map location, tap the Map icon at the top of the detail screen. Tap the X to return to the listing detail page.History and Tax Sections – Public Version
The public version of listing detail page will now include separate sections for History and Tax information (as allowed by your MLS). These sections are currently available when consumers view the listing on a full website, so we’ve expanded the functionality to the mobile version.Why Are We Making These Changes
These updates are part of ongoing improvements being made to enhance the Flexmls user-experience on mobile devices. They help bring consistency to how Flexmls behaves for both agents and consumers, and they also make the consumer experience consistent when viewing listings on mobile and full web browsers.

Starting on January 24th, we’re introducing some small but useful changes to how listings are sorted on Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. Search results will default to sorting by New and Recently Changed First and Listing Collections will retain custom sort orders. These changes will also impact contacts who view listings or portals on mobile websites.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on January 24, 2019.

Who Will Be Affected
These updates will be available for agents using Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. They will also be available for clients who view listings in mobile web browsers.

What Will Change
Search Results – Default to New or Recently Changed First
When viewing search results as a list, the results will default to showing New or Recently Changed First at the top of the list.
Clients creating searches from within the portal will also see search results defaulted to New or Recently Changed First. If you’d like to change the sort order, tap the current Sort Order and select a new sort.

Custom Collections and Shared Listings – Recommended Sort Order
When you share selected listings with a contact, the recipient will see the custom sort order you’ve created. This applies when using the share option, when recommending listings for a contact’s portal, and when creating custom collections for a contact’s portal.

For example, if you’d like to create a list for Saturday’s showings and arrange the listings in the order of showing, you can select the listings in Flexmls Web by placing a checkmark next to each listing. Then, view only the selected listings and drag and drop them into the desired order.

When you share the listings with a contact, they will see them in the Recommended Order (the order that you arranged them in before sharing them).

Portal – Saved Listings Sort by Rating (High to Low)
When portal users save listings by clicking the star icon, the saved listing collection will automatically sort listings by their star rating (high to low).

Also note, that if your client views their Hidden listings collection, the default sort order will be Price (High to Low).

Why Are We Making These Changes
These updates make it easier to find new and recently updated listings when viewing search results. Additionally, retaining the custom sort order for listing collections is a feature already available in Flexmls Pro for iOS, so this update ensures that custom sorts are respected regardless of which mobile platform you are using.

Starting on December 20th, it will be easier to access videos and virtual tours when viewing a listing’s details on Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. They will be grouped with the listing’s photos, appearing immediately after the primary photo.

When Will It Change
This update will be available on December 20, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
These changes will be available for agents using Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. Additionally, clients will notice this update when they view listings on mobile web browsers.

What Will Change
When viewing listings, videos and virtual tours will appear inline with the photographs at the top of the listing detail page. They will appear immediately after the listing’s primary photo.

Why Are We Making These Changes
This update is part of our ongoing commitment to improve the user experience in Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web and for clients who view listings on mobile browsers. Keeping videos and virtual tours inline with the listing photos makes it easier and more intuitive to access media associated with the listing.

As part of the ongoing improvements being made to Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web, as well as the mobile client portal, you may have noticed some minor changes in the past few weeks. Sorting search results is now faster than ever and it’s easier for clients to contact their agent while viewing listings on a mobile website.

When Will It Change
These updates are already available.

Who Is Affected
These features are available for agents using Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web, as well as their clients viewing listings on mobile devices.

Note that the update for the Contact Agent feature is only available for clients. It is not available on Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web.

What Changed
Sort Faster
Sorting search results is faster than ever. When viewing listings as a list, tap the sort option to view and select how you would like to sort the listings. Just as before, you can choose to apply one of several pre-made sorts or one of your custom sorts.Improved Contact Agent Feature
When clients tap the Contact Agent feature while viewing listings on a mobile website, it opens a Contact Agent overlay, making it faster and more intuitive for contacts to send a message to the agent with whom they are working.

Why Are We Making These Changes
While relatively minor, these updates make the process of sorting listings and contacting an agent faster and more intuitive for users. They are part of our ongoing usability improvements for Flexmls on mobile devices.

Starting on November 27th, you’ll see improvements to Flexmls Pro for Android/Mobile Web for both clients and agents. Clients viewing their News Feed will now be able to view the listings on the map. In addition to this, you’ll see increased efficiency when applying filters to your search and accessing additional menu options while reviewing listings.

When Will It Change
These updates will be available on November 27, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
Agents and their clients using Flexmls Pro for Mobile Web and Android will receive these updates. Additionally, clients will be able access the map from their News Feed on mobile browsers.

What Will Change
Map View from the News Feed
When a client is viewing their News Feed on a mobile website, they’ll be able to toggle to the Map view by clicking the map icon near the bottom of the screen.

A Faster Filter
When searching for listings, tapping the Filter button opens the Filter overlay allowing you to select your search criteria. Tap View Listings to view listings that match your search criteria or tap Cancel to close the filter and return to the previous screen. Tap Reset Filters to clear your current search criteria.

Changes to the More Tab and Icons
Some items from the More tab (three lines) will now be found under a new Avatar tab. Tapping the Avatar tab gives you access to your Profile, My Listings, and the Logout functions. Tapping the More Tab gives you access to Messages and the Office/Member search.

Please note that for clients viewing listings, the More tab icon will be replaced with the Avatar icon, but the functionality will remain the same.

Why Are We Making These Changes
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to improve the Flexmls Pro App for Mobile Web and Android. Viewing the News Feed listings on the map view allows clients to quickly view the location of listings in the News Feed. Additionally, the small changes to the Filter function and More tab provide a smoother user experience that will remain consistent across mobile devices.

When Will It Change
This update will be available on August 30, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
All users who use Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web will receive these updates and all clients who view listings from mobile browsers will also receive these updates.

What Will Change
When viewing listings in the List View, there will be a new, clearly labeled, Map icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap the icon to view the current listings on a map.

While on the Map, the functionality will be unchanged. You can use the Filter option to further refine your search, search within a hand-drawn area by using the polygon tool, or tap to preview a listing and scroll through its available photos while still on the map.

To leave the Map View and return to the List View, tap the X at the top of the screen.

Why Are We Making These Changes
This change is part of an ongoing effort to make using Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web an easy and enjoyable experience. The ability to intuitively move between the List View and Map View provides a more user-friendly workflow for you (and your clients) when viewing and comparing listings.

Starting on August 30th, listing results will display a larger photo and easier-to-read text when viewing multiple listings in Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web. These changes will provide more detail and clarity when using the List View to compare listings. Additionally, clients using mobile web browsers to view listings will also receive these improvements.

When Will It Change
This update will be available on August 30, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
All users who use Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web will receive these updates and all clients who view listings from mobile browsers will also receive these updates.

What Will Change
When viewing multiple listings in the List View, the listing photo will be larger and the summary information will display below the listing.

Why Are We Making These Changes
These improvements are part of an ongoing effort to make using Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile web an easy and enjoyable experience. The larger photos will make it easier to see what the primary listing photo looks like, and keeping the summary information beneath the photo ensures that the information is always legible and easy to read.

Starting on July 26th users of Flexmls Pro for Android and Mobile Web will notice an updated design that places the Menu at the top of the screen. These versions of the apps are now tailored to the screen size, so if the screen is large (like on a tablet), the menu icons will display as easy-to-read text. These updates reflect the common Android styling of keeping menus at the top of the screen and make the workflows more intuitive and user friendly. Clients will see a similar design when viewing listings on mobile websites – the menu will display at the top of the screen.

When Will It Change
This update will be available on July 26, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
All users who use Flexmls Pro for Android and Flexmls Pro Mobile Web will receive these updates. Additionally, consumers looking at listings on mobile web browsers will see similar styling changes.

What Will Change
Menu at the Top
The menu bar will display at the top of the screen. Examples for the Search page and Contacts page are shown below.

Menu – Tailored to Page Size
When using Flexmls Pro for Android or Mobile Web on a larger device, such as a tablet, the Menu icons will display as text rather than icons. The menu bar will display at the top of the screen and tapping the Flexmls logo allows you to return to the default search screen. An example of the Search screen appears below.

Why Are We Making These Changes
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to making Flexmls Pro intuitive and easy to use. Moving the menu to the top of the screen reflects the standard menu placement for Android apps. Additionally, it keeps the menu accessible and at the top of the screen on all mobile web platforms. Finally, it mirrors the menu placement of the full Flexmls Web experience, keeping the user experience similar between platforms.

Starting on July 19th you’ll notice that the headers in Flexmls Pro for Android and Flexmls Pro Mobile Web are more prominent and easier to read. This will help make the title of page easier to see, make the design more user-friendly, and make navigation between pages more intuitive. These styling changes will also be reflected when your contacts view listings from a web browser on their mobile devices.
