The Hotsheet enables you to view MLS activity (listing changes and additions) for a specified period of time.
To access the Hotsheet Search
TIP: You can save time by entering your Hotsheet criteria once and save the search. Then you can run it quickly right from the Home page.
Hotsheet Criteria Page
Date/Time - These fields default to the last date and time you ran the Hotsheet through the present. You can change this if desired, or switch to Days Back to simply look at recent activity for a certain number of days back. To optimize system performance, your MLS has established a maximum number of days for which you can view changes on the Hotsheet.
Example: If the maximum is 7 days of activity, you could use the Date Range option and enter Changes From 12/01/19 and Changes Thru 12/07/19 to view activity during the first week in December 2019.
Changes to Include - Check the box next to each type of listing activity you want to view. You can leave all the boxes blank to include all. Please note that you can set up defaults for this section in your Agent Preferences form.
Other Criteria Fields - You can enter other criteria as desired, just as you would for any search. If only one property type is selected, you can also click the Additional Criteria button to enter amenity criteria.
NOTE: Listings may show up more than once in your Hotsheet results if they were changed more than once.
Viewing Hotsheet Results
Hotsheet results are presented in an enhanced grid display, which can be customized according to your needs.
Users can customize their Hotsheet grid or any of their customized grids on the fly from the results page by clicking the Customize Grid button, located above the grid display. See Customize the One Line Grid for more information on customizing your displays.
Listings can be grouped by columns by dragging and dropping the column header into the designated area.
The default display for Hotsheets groups the results by Change Type, but that can be changed on the fly by dragging an available column to the Grouped By: header and/or clicking the [x] next to the category to remove it. See Using the Grid Display for further instructions on grouping search results in the grid display.
You can choose which display to show for your Hotsheet from the Display drop-down menu, located on the upper-right corner of the grid display. The Map View, Hotsheet w/ Picture, and Hotsheet Std are the default displays provided by the MLS, but you can customize additional grids as needed (see above).
You can also choose your own display to use as a Hotsheet default in Agent Preferences. See Choose a different format for your search results for more information on how to choose a different display.
In addition to grouping listings according to columns, listings can also be sorted by column. Sorting can be done by clicking the Sort button and selecting the desired options, or by clicking on the column you wish to group by. When using Sort Options together with grouping, the selected Sort Options will be applied within each individual group.
For example, if you group by Change Type and then sort by Price, listings will be arranged in individual groups based on Change Type, and within each individual group the listings will be sorted based on Price. This applies to both the Sort As Selected feature and the Sort By drop-down options.
