Some fields may be auto-filled from a linked public record or a cloned listing.

To move to a different section you can use the scroll bar, click the section tab along the top of the form to jump, or press the Page Up and Page Down keys.

Fields on Add/Edit data entry forms provide links to data-entry help. Click on a field label to open instructions.
To locate a particular field on the form, click the Find action. The Find a Field dialog box opens. Enter all or part of the field label then click Find. When the dialog box closes the listing detail edit form displays at the located field.
To locate the next occurrence of the text, if desired, click the Find action again. At the dialog box, click Find once again.
To preview the listing as you work, click the Preview action. Draft information displays in the Broker-Full detail form. If you have uploaded one or more photos or attachments, these also display. To print the preview, click the Print icon.
When you submit a complete and valid draft, the system assigns an ML# to the new listing. If required fields * remain empty, or you have neglected to correct a field flagged in red, the form does not pass validation. A validation summary displays for the Draft. The system flags each erroneous field in red; click the red label for a help pop-up message. Until you correct these fields and re-submit, the system cannot store the listing in the MLS database.
When you successfully submit a valid listing, the Add/Edit Complete dialog box displays with further options. If the listing is new, a newly assigned MLS# displays.
If you have not yet uploaded a photo, you may be prompted for one in lieu of an immediate charge.
To return the listing detail edit form to the state it was in when you opened a Draft or began to add or edit a listing, click the Reset action. The system prompts you to confirm the reset, because all changes made during your current session will be undone.
The system automatically saves a new listing's Draft periodically while you work. Although it is not necessary, you may use the Save Draft action if you need to leave the work session and want to ensure that your draft is saved.
When you navigate away from Add/Edit, the browser requires a short period of time to finish saving the form before loading the new page. A confirmation prompt displays to confirm your intention to leave Add/Edit. The time it takes for you to enter your confirmation is sufficient for the system to automatically save the Draft.
