Search Results (iOS)
When you perform a listing search on mobile, a mobile version of the Flexmls map view is displayed.
Search Templates
All Quick Search templates created in Flexmls are available when using the Flexmls app or mobile website. Search templates are available and accessible on the Filter screen in the iOS app.
Search Filters
To modify search criteria, tap the Filter button. Filters are organized into sections based on relevance. For example, template-defined location fields are grouped together at the top of the search template. The location search bar is at the top of the filter screen, and it supports character-based fields. Like Flexmls Desktop, you can filter your search by multiple addresses. If your MLS participates in data sharing with other MLSs, you can filter by MLS.
Note
To specify the MLSs that are selected by default, go to General Preferences in the desktop version of Flexmls.
Adjust Filters in the iOS App
Each filter has a toggle button next to it, and you can use the toggles to enable or disable a filter. If you are using a search template, the default filters for the search template are enabled.
You can use the toggles to modify your search using multiple filters at once. Enable the toggles for the filters you want to include from a search, and disable the toggles for the filters you want to exclude. Toggles that are switched off will not filter or affect search results.
To specify a filter, tap the filter to expand it. You can specify filters such as Property Type, Status, Listing/Selling Office, or Sold Date. For example, when you tap the Property Type filter, you can then use the checkboxes to select the specific property types you want included in your search results. If you select Sold Date, you can use the calendar to select a specific date range, or you can tap the arrow icon and select a specific number of days back.
You can also apply an operator (and, or, not) to a search filter. To do this, enable the toggle for the filter and tap the gear icon beneath the toggle. You can select from and, or, and not, and your selection displays under the filter.
Action buttons are located at the bottom in a single bar. To add more search filters, tap Add Field. Start typing a field name or tap a field name in the list, and then tap Done. When you add new filters, they are automatically grouped by category. To reset your filters, tap Reset. And to view your search results, tap Results. As you add filters, this button dynamically changes to show how many search results have been yielded by your search criteria.
Map View
To view search results on the map, tap the Map button on the search results page.
The Flexmls app for iOS also has a Draw icon to draw search shapes on the map. Tap the icon and use your fingertip to draw a continuous line to outline an area. You can pan and zoom the map as you draw.
To switch to the satellite view, tap the Layers icon. To focus the map on your current location, tap the crosshairs.
More Search Actions
Tap the More (three dots) button at the top of the search results page to access additional actions for the search. In the Flexmls app for iOS, the Share option appears directly on the Search Results page, and the More menu includes the Select and Save As options.
Share - Share the search with a contact. If the search is new, give the search a name and tap Save and Share.
Select a recipient from your contacts or create a new contact. Type a message to accompany the link, and then select the sharing method to use. An action bar is displayed at the bottom of the Share page with three options: Email, Text and More. The Email and Text options send the link directly to the selected contact. The More option generates a link that you can share from the available apps on your mobile device.
You can subscribe the contact to notifications for the search by tapping the Subscribe to updates option. Subscriptions created in the app are scheduled as ASAP and can be accessed in Flexmls Web.
To share an individual listing, see Listing Details (Mobile).
Select – Select listings to set aside for further action. When you select listings, a number will be displayed on the Collections icon in the menu. This indicates the number of listings you have selected. When you are done selecting listings, you can view the Selected collection and recommend, share, or hide the selected listings or add the selected listings to a collection.
Save As – Save the current search criteria. Enter a name for the search and tap Save. Saved searches are available across all platforms, so if you save the search using the mobile website or the Flexmls app, it will also be available on the Flexmls desktop website.
