connectBLC Release Updates 01.03.2024

Improvements to the User Interface throughout connectBLC

Significant updates have been made to the Residential Add/Edit workflow, designed to support a logical methodology for listing data entry.
The following improvements to connectBLC’s design have been implemented to provide a better experience for Agents & Clients:

Enhanced Display for Tax Auto Filled Fields

To reduce discrepancy of listing source imported information versus broker provided updates, when adding a listing, tax fields will be grayed out with an edit pencil to record corrections. To unlock the read only field, select the Pencil icon. 


After corrections have been made, click Save.



Upon saving, the data in the fields will dynamically update and the fields will become read only again.



Users will receive a warning message if the number of rooms added does not match the number of rooms entered on the previous section when adding/editing a listing.



After the user defines the number of rooms, per level when adding a listing, the following rooms will be automatically suggested: Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, and Laundry Room. In addition, if the number of beds equals 1, then the system will only add one bedroom, as the Primary Bedroom. If the number of beds is greater than 1, then the system will automatically display: Primary Bedroom, Bedroom 2nd, Bedroom 3rd, and so forth.


Fields have been divided into Exterior Features and Interior Features when adding/editing a listing for a Commercial property.



Improvements to Data Accuracy throughout connectBLC

In addition, in response to helpful feedback from MIBOR members & continued evaluation by the MIBOR team, additional improvements to connectBLC functions have been implemented. Improvements in this release include: 
• Features tab for RESI Farms and LAND listings have been restructured based on input and Price/Acre works as expected.
• Issue previously affecting the Reset button and map repositioning when adding/editing a listing has been resolved.
• Values for the Main Level Sq Ft, Upper Level Sq Ft, and Basement Sq Ft fields will autopopulate from Tax records when available.
• All address fields are now all required except for Postal Code Plus 4. Properties without a prefix/suffix have a None selection available for each, and when saved, do not display on search, reports, etc. as expected. When cloned from Tax record, the fields auto-populate with the None value, as expected.
• Correction made: “Highland Middle School” to only be associated with the Middle or Junior School field.
• Issue previously affecting Price Per Acre not being calculated for some property types has been resolved.
• Issue previously affecting the ability to fully remove a Co-List Agent has been resolved.
• Data in Co-List fields no longer vanishing between tab switches.
• Township is now auto-filling with data compatible with the Township lookup table.
• When cloning from a Tax record exclusively, Tax Lot, Section, Tax Legal, Lot Size and Acres are auto-populating as expected.
• When cloning a listing from a Tax record, calculated fields are updating when using the tax links to adjust the value of the fields.
• Listing Agreement no longer auto-populates when cloning from an existing listing as expected.
• If a listing has fields that were auto-populated with data from a tax record, Semi Annual Property Tax Amount, Tax Year, and Tax Exemption values are auto-populating as expected.

Photo Gallery View for Listings Available on the Client Portal

A photo gallery view is now available within a listing’s Detail report in the Client Portal. To view the photo gallery, scroll down to the bottom of the Detail report or click Gallery to jump to the section. 



The Gallery View gives users an convenient overview of all the photos for a listing.
