Parent/Child Listings

You can set up Flexmls to allow parent/child relationships to be set up between listings.

If your MLS uses parent/child listing relationships, one listing can be designated as a parent listing and one or more listings can be designated as child listings. For example, parent/child listings could be used for parcels of land that can be sold as a package deal. The full section of land would be the parent listing, and the individual parcels would be child listings. When a parent listing is closed, all of its child listings are automatically changed to canceled status, only if the child listings are active. If all active child listings are closed, the parent listing will be automatically canceled.

Set a Listing as a Parent or Child (Add Listing Page)

When you add a listing, the regular/parent option is selected by default. If a parent listing does not have any children, it is treated as a regular listing. If you select the child option when entering a listing, you will be required to enter the MLS number of the parent listing.

Set a Listing as a Parent or Child (Change Listing Page)

You can use the Change Listing page to add children to the selected listing or to specify that the selected listing is a child of another listing. In the General section of the page, click Select Children or Add to Parent.

The Select Children or Select Parent for MLS # page is displayed, where you can enter parent or child information for the listing.
