Summary

Email Font Issue – Update

We are aware of the issue and are actively working with Black Knight to resolve the matter, as quickly as possible. The current issue of the email font changing after it has been sent is being resolved in two stages, across two releases. The first stage is to revert back to a previous version of code. This will enable you to make the necessary changes to the font, on screen, before it is sent out and received by your client. This stage will be introduced in this release. The second stage consists of updating the Rich Text Editor itself, to resolve this problem and more. This second stage will be introduced in a release in the summer. If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate in contacting the MLS® Help Desk at 780-453-9341 or helpdesk@ereb.com

Long Description of Lookup Values in User Preference

When searching, you now have the option to display the long description of lookup values in the search criteria instead of the short description. The Search Criteria Page available via Print + and the Criteria Summary report in the Actions Menu were also modified to display long descriptions of lookup values. The Search Options section of User Preferences will display an option that enables long descriptions in search criteria. This functionality will be disabled by default.

Google Maps – Updates

When doing a map search, you now can select from the last five addresses searched using Center Map on this Address or from a few key default addresses: agent physical address, agent office address, and the board address.

CMA Map Report

The Map Report in the CMA Presentation now has a map legend for the listing statuses.

Secured URL for Paragon and Publink (Email Hyperlinks)

Although some security measures were already in place, in an effort to increase the security, Paragon and Publink (Email Hyperlinks) are being modified to display in full Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) throughout the applications. You will notice that the web address and subsequent pages now begins with https://.
