Custom Goodies for Your MLS

MFM can provide help files and Speed Buttons customized for your MLS market area.

The help file can contain any information important for agents using your particular MLS. For example, your custom help file can:

· Feature your logo artwork, board office phone numbers, etc.

· Show lists of your MLS area codes and names, along with maps your agents can click on to look up these lists geographically.

· Document any commands on your MLS you have customized.

· Document the data dictionaries for all property/form types on your MLS.

· Provide hotspots the user can click to send input to the Terminal window.

· Close any other gaps in your existing host documentation.

With the powerful scripting in PC Access, Speed Buttons can display specific topics in your custom help file, as well as automate common host procedures.

If you want to give your MLS these features, contact MFM for our information requirements and pricing.

MFM can also customize other behaviors of PC Access for Windows with a SITE.INI file. SITE.INI is a standard Windows format .INI file. If the SITE.INI file is present in your executable directory, PC Access for Windows will read it and customize its behavior according to the commands you place in SITE.INI.

· Currently, SITE.INI has only one section: [setup]. The only parameter you may specify in the [setup] section is agent_id. Specify agent_id=1 if you want the Agent ID field to appear on the Setup Assistant - Agent Setup window in addition to the Add/Edit Agent window. (The default behavior is for the Agent ID field to appear only on the Add/Edit Agent window.)
