Listing Activity Report

The Listing Activity Report summarizes how people are interacting with a listing. The report includes activity from Flexmls Web, internet sites, customer portals, Flexmls messaging, and Flexmls IDX sites. The information on the report is continuously updated, so the numbers reflect the live statistics for the listing. The report is accessible only to logins with the ability to edit the selected listing.
