The MLS's Custom Report Writer has been updated with new report options, including the following updates

The MLS’s Custom Report Writer has been completely redesigned and includes an intuitive new interface coupled with more features and options than ever before, allowing you to design and customize reports to suit your needs.

The new Custom Report Writer gives you the tools necessary to design your own professional flyers to highlight your listings and drive business

The report management page allows you to create a new report for a specific property type or multiple property types, or copy an existing report to use as a template. From this page, you also have quick and easy access to all of your existing reports, organized into different folders for your convenience.

Once you have created a new report, copied a report, or opened an existing report, you will be directed to the report designer page. From this page, you are able to access all of the incredible report writer tools, options, and action buttons to build and customize your reports.

At any time while creating a report, click the report “Preview” button to open a separate window allowing you to preview the current report layout and design. This also allows you to select a listing to use for the preview, giving you a comprehensive view of what the report will look like with real listing data.

Once you have created and published your report, it will be added to the Reports page in the MLS automatically. From there, you can easily access it to view the report with listings before saving, printing, or sharing with your clients.

The “Counts on the Fly” feature has been updated to display live listing counts faster than ever! The improved performance displays an exact count of listings that meet the user’s criteria more quickly, greatly improving overall efficiency when running searches.

The Charts feature has been redesigned, offering a cleaner interface with a modern look and feel which provides more clear and concise information. To view the updated charts, select the desired listings and click the “Statistics” button in the MLS toolbar. Next, click the “Charts” button in the MLS toolbar to view, email, or print the chart.

The prospect cart listing limit and search results limit for the MLS have been increased from 1,000 listings to 5,000 listings. With this update, users are able to run broader searches showing a wider range of listings and add more listings to their prospect’s carts.

The new Import feature allows MLS Staff to take existing reports that have been exported and easily import them into the MLS’s Custom Report Writer, eliminating the need to recreate them. Simply export the desired reports as .XML files and follow the three quick steps presented on-screen to import them into the new Custom Report Writer interface. Once imported, the report can be modified using all the great tools and options available in the Custom Report Writer and can be made available for all users or for specific MLS members.

The MIAMI Association of REALTORS (MIAMI) partnered with the University of Miami School of Architecture to sponsor a new Coconut Grove community mural in February 2018.

The Speed Search in the Desktop MLS has been updated and now includes logic for searching listings based on Subdivisions. Simply enter a property type followed by a semi-colon, then enter the token for Subdivision Name (“sub”) or Subdivision Number (“sub#”) followed by the value (e.g., for a Subdivision Number search: Resi; sub# 12345).

The saved search name character limit has been increased from 20 characters to 100 characters, allowing MLS users to provide more detail when saving their searches. This change applies to all searches in the MLS, including Saved Searches, Saved Hotsheets, Prospect Searches, and Client Portal Searches. Please note that the saved search name may be truncated in certain areas of the MLS if the name is too long to be displayed in its entirety.

The phone number fields on Contact Information pages have been updated and now support up to 50 characters. This allows users to include area codes, prefixes, and international codes when needed, as well as non-numeric characters such as letters, dashes, and parentheses. Please note that this update applies to all Contact phone number entry fields on the Desktop MLS and Mobile MLS.
