TransactionDESK News

Instanet has added some new features this month!

Here is a quick summary of the changes.

Document Review

Ability to scroll through the document to review each page
The removal of Next and Previous buttons; you can still jump to a specific page number
Page labels will now be formatted as Current Page/Total Pages
These updates will allow you to more easily navigate document pages and quickly complete the document review process. As an example, when merging documents together, you can now save time when reviewing the file by leveraging a continuous scroll rather than navigating page by page

You now have the ability to import your Matrix contacts into TransactionDesk. With this new functionality, you'll be able to streamline the transaction process and save valuable time. There are two ways to import:

Under the contacts section of a transaction, select “add” as you traditionally do and select “add contact from Matrix”.
Import contacts from Matrix into the contracts section of your platform. Simply navigate to the contacts section select “Add contact from Matrix”.

Matrix Tip: Send Open Houses Via Email

Wondering how to get Matrix to send an auto-email when there are open houses that your client might like to check out?

The GRAR Tech Committee has a great tip for you. It is all in the search criteria.

In Matrix, perform your search and enter all search criteria.
Before finding matching listings, first add a field to your search by clicking on Add/Remove link, right below your Results icon.

Add the field called Active Open House Count and enter 1+ into that field.
Click on Results and then Save to follow the prompts to set up your auto-email.

Easy as can be and it works! No weekly updates needed.
