These videos display in the ConnectView report within Paragon Professional, and will also be available in
Paragon Connect, Collaboration Center, and CollabLink.
By default, these three fields are set to a level 9 security level. They must be enabled, and their security
reduced for this to be used. This can be edited by MLS Admin. (These fields will not be available via
RETS at this time.)
1. Video
2. Last Video Update Date
3. Video Count
Additionally, when Required Only is selected in LIM, if any part of the street address is required, all the
green-highlighted street address fields will remain visible.
Armed with the Potential Buyers and the AVMs, agents can enter a New Price into the interactive widget
and click the Recalculate Buyers to determine the effective change on potential buyers.
And there’s more to come! Coming in 5.87, we’ll be adding another metric to the Price Analysis widget
called Location Score, which will display the relative hotness of the postal area for the listing compared
to other postal areas.
Additionally, when a search is extended, Paragon will run the search against current prospecting
restrictions and return the usual error message if any criteria in the search is now prohibited.

In 5.81, we enhanced the way users access Integrations and other Paragon System Actions from the
spreadsheet search report as well as the detail views. The Action Icons column of the spreadsheet has
been modified to display a single icon to provide access and more viewing space for data.
This does a couple of things. One, from the spreadsheet report view it provides access to actions that
users can take when multiple records are selected. The Actions dialog box includes logic to display the
available options based on whether one or some records are selected.
Two, it makes Integrations and Paragon Tools available from ConnectView (and any other detail view).
Clicking on the button will display all the available options for the record in view.
In addition to adding the new Actions button, the previous Actions menu was succinctly renamed
“More” since it includes the overflow of menu options that do not fit in the toolbar.

After 5.81
You will also notice in the overflow menu to the right that the multi-select
integrations such as Cloud CMA, ShowingTime and View in CRS are no longer
present (if your MLS subscribed, that is). They now reside under the new
Actions menu as previously shown when more than one record is selected in
the spreadsheet.
If your MLS has chosen to participate in Broker Syndication, the Broker/Manager will receive a message
in MLS Messaging when they log into Paragon.
Broker/Manager-level users (5+) can modify syndication options in their user preferences for all offices
in their firm and grant their Agents the ability to choose the syndication settings for their listings as well.
The Broker/Manager will set up their office syndication settings per office. In the broker’s system
preferences they can choose to turn on/off syndication per office. They can also deny or allow the agent
the ability to choose their own participation setting.
In the example below this Broker of South Office – 1468 has declined the syndication of all their office
listings to 123.com, but allowed agents in their office the ability to send their individual listings. They
opted in for syndication to ziprealty.com and also allowed their agents to opt out. On xyz.com they
opted in for syndication but did not allow their agents to opt out. For their branch office North Office –
4561 they didn’t opt in to syndicating listings for any of the websites.
The Agent, if allowed by the Broker, can opt in or out of syndication by checking or unchecking the box.
If the name is greyed out, the agent is not allowed to change that syndication.
In the example below the agent who belongs to the South Office – 1468 has the option to syndicate
their own listings to 123.com even though all office listings will not be sent; turn off syndication to
ziprealty.com for their own listings even though all office listing would normally be sent; but is not
allowed to alter xyz.com participation (all office listings will be sent).
Clicking the gear icon opens a dialog box where you can set your default report
preference
We also noticed the explanatory text by the modal header was missing when opening the modal from
the Messages widget. That’s been fixed so the text always displays.
In the Comments dialog box we changed the pane title from “Messages” to “Comments” and the
commit button from “Comment” to “Submit” to be more uniform and standard.
When a primary email address has been edited, and the contact has automatic notifications enabled,
the user was previously presented with this confirmation message when focus left the email address
field.
We’ve updated the message to be more concise and we changed it to display upon Save rather than
when focus leaves the email address field.
Now recipients will see a simple and familiar “Unsubscribe” option in the footer of the email.
We reversed the toggle switch to align with the industry standard (thumb is to the right when on) and
added refined color and mouse-over effects to provide action affordability.

4. Removed the Definitions from the bottom of the calculator. The text is located under the info tip
question marks. Repeating them at the bottom was unnecessary and caused more scrolling.
To improve this workflow, Black Knight added a compare icon next to the folder icon. This will appear
on each listing. To compare two listings, start by clicking this new icon next to the first listing you want
to compare. The icon will turn orange and you will see a count of 1. Click the compare icon on a second
listing to launch the compare screen. After you are finished comparing the two listings, click close to
end the compare feature and remove your selections.
A new interactive mortgage calculator that allows consumers to enter a down payment, interest
rate and terms.
Consumers can request a customized quote directly from the Mortgage Center.
A rate indices widget that allows consumers to see current rates and trends over time.
The new Mortgage Center gives the consumer all the tools they need, to know what to expect when
shopping for a new loan.
The display is powered by a mortgage lender named Nexa Mortgage dba Axen Mortgage (“Axen”) and is
an advertisement.
Layers Control
A new layer icon was added to the bottom right navigation controls. This new icon replaces the “Menu
Options” button that was previously located on the map. This allows your clients to quickly enable any
layer on the map. In addition, the parcel label is enabled by default.
This will allow your clients to see parcel lines around properties when
zoomed in on the map.
A new reset button has been added to the Collaboration Center search bar. This reset option will allow a
user to reset the property search back to the default criteria as when first opened. This way if you get
lost or if you want to start your search over you can click the reset button.
Price Range
Previously, the Collaboration Center search defaulted to a price range of $350K - $750K. In some
housing markets, that range wouldn’t produce any results. Some markets are much higher and some are
much lower. Rather than providing a default price range, the property search will no longer default to
any range. It should return all prices based on the map viewing area.
Another change to the price component is the removal of the price slider. We found that the slider was
difficult to move in increments that made it easy to set a min and max price, and it also maxed out at 3.4
Default Statuses
Example
Along with defaulting to all allowable statuses, the interface and selection controls were updated. The
previous lookup control required the client to either type a status or open a full screen modal to choose
from a list of available statuses. Now the statuses are all visible on the control and you can easily check
or uncheck the statuses you want.
Hover Removed
While hovering over a pin, the Collaboration Center showed a hover control above the pin. This was
duplicate information found in the mini preview when clicking or tapping on a pin. It has been removed.
The “Off Market Status” option is never valid for Active statuses, so disabling it will prevent it from being
accidentally enabled. It is still a valid option for all other status categories.

We’ve also added the office Board ID (Member of Board field) and the Last Change Date to both reports.
Click the Last Change Date to view the audit report for even more details!
For multi-board Paragon systems, we’ve added Member of Board to the Agent and Office grids and
added a filter for that column. Visible boards will be based on the user’s security level. The Member of
Board field displays the Office’s Member of Board value.
If Boards are not enabled on your system, the column and filter will be hidden.
