Did you see the comments from last weeks F³? They’ve been constructive and Michael Wurzer has been helpful. We’re on a mission to make the Closing Cost Estimator a tool that you will use – be sure and check out the latest edition that was published yesterday. And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for – the default map view.
Why is the default map important? Because it saves you time. That’s it. No other reason. The beauty of it is that setting the default map view is one of the easiest time savers in the flexmls system. When you change the default map view you are customizing the area shown when the map is first displayed. Of course you can zoom in, out or pan the map around to see it differently, but the initial view can be set to your specific area. Let’s take a look at the map before you specify the default map view.
Notice it starts zoomed all the way out. You can see from Payson to Eloy. For those of you that typically work in a smaller area, you may prefer if the map starts more like this…
Now I know from some of the conversations when flexmls was first introduced in the valley that many agents are concerned about the number of clicks it takes to perform a task. Think of how many clicks you’ll save by changing the map to view your target area right from the beginning. Like I mentioned, this is one of the easiest click savers in the system.
You start in Preferences - click Default Map
Select the tiny blue rectangle box at the bottom to select your new area.
Once your new area is selected click save in the upper right corner.
and you’re done.
Happy Flexmls Feature Friday!
