Release Notes – 2023.03.02

 March 2, 2023

Highlights

  • Featured Locations now have default links
    The Default Location Settings page in the Featured Locations interface now allows default links to be configured, with a variety of options that we hope will address most of the use cases for the Saved Search by Location control panel tool. We look forward to receiving feedback on this change, as we’re eager to remove the use of that tool as a compulsory component of most site builds. 
  • Flex content updates
    This release once again contains another batch of changes to Flex content. This includes updates to color management for banner overlays, fixes to the presentation of agent cards, and the addition of new templates to the library of prebuilt content arrangements. 
  • Agent Roster text area
    Agent roster pages now have an editable text area that can be displayed at the top of the page.
  • CSR Meta Tags tool update
    The CSR only tool to automatically generate settings for the Meta Tags and Amp Pages screens via a checkbox when editing agent profiles has been updated to use the formatting currently preferred by the web building team in an effort to reduce the amount of manual content updating required in their processes. 
  • Updates to default content
    In response to feedback from the web builder team, several changes and additions have been made to default content template accounts so that new testdrive buildouts will start with more useful sets of content, thereby reducing the amount of work required to get new accounts fully configured. 

Updates

  • Globe icon requested
    Added Globe icon to icon library
  • Optional text above agent roster
    Agent roster pages now offer an optional open text field to display at the top of the roster. 
  • Listing came in but not agent ID
    Added a check to avoid duplicating "office" detect param records
  • Featured Locations - Default Links
    It is now possible to configure “default links” for Featured Locations via the “Default Location Settings”. These will typically be used to configure linked Saved Search pages (w/ price ranges). Our hope is that this will be an adequate replacement for the “Saved Searches by Location” tool in the control panel.
