The City/Town Code, School and ZIP Code fields relied on proper spelling in searches, potentially causing search errors. Now, whether searching or adding a listing, you may have noticed an improvement to these fields under General Property Description.
Why did these fields change?
A helpful suggestion by a subscriber lead to an exploration of how these fields work. These changes simplify searching, improve search accuracy and adding a listing by requiring less clicks. This smarter lookup method makes it faster and easier to find the correct City/Town, ZIP Code and school.
The previous methods were cumbersome with extra typing and clicking. Without the pick-list function, it was difficult to input information without knowing the correct city spelling or ZIP code. In addition, the list of schools was continuously growing, making it harder to find the one you were looking for.
City/Town Code AutoFill
The search field for city now displays a pick-list of Arizona cities/towns, as well as auto-populating as you start to type in the search field.
City/Town Code Pick-List
ZIP Code Field
For changes to the ZIP Code field, you can choose from a pick-list, type in a full ZIP code, or find via Map Areas Overlay. Additionally, after typing in a city in the City/Town Code, Flexmls will show ZIP codes only for your chosen cities.
General Property Description (Schools)
When adding the field General Property Description (schools), you can enter two or more characters to begin the auto-fill process rather than using a completed drop-down list.
We hope you enjoy these changes and that they help you navigate Flexmls easier.
