Work the Way You Want: Set Your Preferences

The Preferences feature was designed so you can customize MLS Blue to work for you. By setting your preferences, you can have TREND match your work style. This gives you control over facets of the MLS such as your default county for lookup lists, which statuses are pre-selected on search pages and how many listings appear on a page. Also, you can answer those quintessential questions: to print or not to print... photos with your reports? Or which comes first... when displaying contact names, first name or last name?

By setting your preferences, you can get the MLS information you want more quickly. Taking a few minutes now to select the settings for the different parts of the MLS that you use often means you don't have to repeat the process each time you use them. Not only does this help you to work more efficiently, but it streamlines the amount of time you spend on the MLS, allowing you to focus more time on your clients.

Decide How Your Listings Display

More importantly, Preferences might also help speed up the display of information, such as the Member Full Report. If you are experiencing slowness when viewing that page, you should check the preference for the number of listings that display per page.

You might find that it is set too high and consider reducing that number. The more listings that display per page, the longer it will take for the information to appear on your screen. More data takes more time. Adjust your Report Preferences, so that the Maximum Listings Per Page setting is lower. Less data will take less time to load, thus you can view the MLS information more quickly.

While viewing Report Preferences, you should also set your defaults for viewing reports and choose your sort options. This way, your reports and sort options display the information the way you prefer. Modify your preferences today. This will fine tune MLS Blue so that the system matches YOUR work style!
