Here are a few of the biggest differences you&#8217;ll notice after the changes go live:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Public Remarks Increased<\/strong>: the Public Remarks field will increase in size from 380 to 440 characters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Farm Y\/N?<\/strong>: a new Farm Y\/N field will be available for residential listings. Removing FARM from the property type field will allow the Property Type of Detached or Residential-Manufactured to be selected. Choosing Y will provide the Farms Supplement form, which can be used by the listing agent to fully describe the property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer\/Negotiation<\/strong>: the Offer\/Negotiation field will now be required. This field indicates instructions for presenting offers and negotiations, such as Call Listing Agent, Listing Agent Only, Seller Directly, or See Documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Map Coordinates<\/strong>: the Map Page, Map Column, and Map Row fields (which make up Map Coordinates) will remain required for listings in the following counties: Clackamas, Columbia, Curry, Lane, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill. In all other areas, it will be optional.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export Reports<\/strong>: Export Reports will have additional fields added to the end of reports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ve prepared more documentation for those who wish to read more detail. View a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rmlsweb.com\/v2\/public2\/loadfile.asp?id=7307\" target=\"_blank\">brief summary document of the annual forms change<\/a>, and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rmlsweb.com\/v2\/public2\/loadfile.asp?id=7306\" target=\"_blank\">color-coded PDF showing changes to the Data Input Forms and Listing Contracts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/HotsheetPriceChange.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-6138\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" alt=\"HotsheetPriceChange\" src=\"http:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/HotsheetPriceChange-300x234.jpg\" width=\"308\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/HotsheetPriceChange-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/HotsheetPriceChange.jpg 756w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><\/a>We&#8217;ll be updating two other small projects as well. First, we&#8217;ll be tweaking the Hotsheet Search to include an option to search for a specific price change amount. Agents will soon be be able to run a Hotsheet Search (left) to find listings that have increased or decreased in price.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we&#8217;ll also be restoring four hour session times! Our <a href=\"http:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/2013\/01\/25\/january-improvements-on-rmlsweb\/\" target=\"_blank\">Unauthorized Access project<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/rmlscentral.com\/2013\/03\/01\/february-improvements-and-upcoming-releases-on-rmlsweb\/\" target=\"_blank\">reduced session times in February<\/a>, meaning accounts were logged out after 90 minutes of inactivity. Subscriber feedback prompted RMLS\u2122 to reconsider, and we&#8217;re restoring the previous four hour sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Changing so many pieces of RMLS<em>web<\/em> requires a longer outage than our regular monthly maintenance. <strong>We expect these changes to require a lengthy outage\u2014possibly as long as 12 hours<\/strong>. As with our regular maintenance outages, a Maintenance Mode version of RMLS<em>web<\/em> will be available, available to subscribers <em>only<\/em> for search purposes.<\/p>\n<p>RMLS\u2122 puts much thought and care into developing the best system for regional REALTORS\u00ae. We hope our subscribers appreciate this work and will continue to share comments and questions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we gave you a preview of the forms changes coming this year to RMLSweb.
