Listing Load Enhancements are just a few days away. We think you’ll find these improvements very helpful. Still, we understand that changes to your work flow can sometimes be stressful or confusing at first.
As always, RMLS™ is here to help make your job easier by providing outstanding support and customer service. Here are some places to get help with the Listing Load enhancements this week:

We’ve put together a list of the questions that our subscribers may have about the Listing Load enhancements that will be out in mid-September. This article is updated as we receive additional questions and comments from our subscribers.
**New Question**
Is there a character counter in this release? Will there be an increase to the character count in Public Remarks?
There is a character counter for the remarks sections included with the new release. A request for additional characters in Public Remarks will be submitted to our Forms Committee, brokers who gather each year to assess the data we collect on our listing forms. Don’t forget that there is additional room for remarks on the Supplement Forms, if any of those are appropriate for your listing.
**New Question**
Will Listing Load now work in the Chrome browser?
Listing load will still not work with Chrome at this time. We are maintaining the IE and Firefox whitelisting currently in place. Our goal is to include Chrome in that group, but testing with that browser is not complete.
How will the changes to Listing Load affect me?
Although some of the pages may look different, the basic work flow has not changed dramatically. The enhancements we’ve added should make your ultimate experience more streamlined and productive.
If I have problems using the new Listing Load, what can I do?
RMLS™ trainers and Help Desk are here to answer any questions you have. You can reach us by phone at 877-256-2169 or email helpdesk@rmls.com. In case you need to get started when our offices and Help Desk are closed, we have also prepared an on-line tutorial available 24/7.
Why are you changing Listing Load? I know how to use it and it works.
We compiled many subscriber comments and requests about listing load over the last few years, and the upcoming changes reflect those requests. The result is a new detail view of the listing load search results with quick access to listing reports (agent full, tax full, history, photos and map) directly from the listing load screen. However, if you prefer, there is still a list view that looks very much like the old results screen. You can choose your experience.
What feature am I going to love the most?
We don’t really know, but it could be the Auto-save function, if you have ever lost work.
Where can I go to get information about the changes?
We’ve put together a summary about the changes that you can read here. You can also plan ahead and sign-up for a class in late September or find out how to set-up a training in your own office for Listing Load Enhancements by contacting training@rmls.com or 503-236-7657.

In mid-September RMLS™ will be rolling out a streamlined Listing Load workflow for our subscribers. Changes include many compiled suggestions of our subscribers. Here is an overview of some of the enhancements that will be included with this version of Listing Load.
Listing Load Screen
- To provide more viewing area the sidebar is no longer shown on listing load pages.
- The listing load Search Criteria can now be collapsed or un-collapsed by clicking on the section label.
- The “New Listing” and “Unlisted Sold” buttons have been moved from beside the search criteria to below.
Search Results
- Search results can now be displayed as a list view or detail view.
- A thumbnail image of the first listing photo and map point have been added to both views.
- The columns have been re-ordered in the list view.
- The detail view tab will show search results on left-hand side of the page, with listing specific information on the right which displays the summary, photo, map, agent full, tax full and history reports.
Add/Modify Listings
- When adding a new listing, the tax ID search is now built into the “New Listing” edit page.
- When adding or modifying a listing, the one long page has been broken up into section heading tabs, located on the left-side of the screen.
- You can now add and modify photos and captions from within the listing edit session.
- Date fields now display a calendar pop up to facilitate date selection. Dates can still be typed directly into the field.
- To make the links to the help text on the page more obvious, the help text is now highlighted as a hyperlink. The field labels are blue with dotted underlines, indicating they are help links, and the mouse pointer will change to show a small question mark on rollover.
- Listing edit screen now includes a Forms Alert tab to show the list of alerts related to listing completion rules such as missing required fields, date range violations or data type violations.
- When working on an in-progress listing auto-save runs every ten minutes. You can also save manually.
- At the top of the in-progress edit page now indicates a percent of all fields (excluding supplement fields) that have been filled on the main listing page.
