Local Logic Widgets
Local Logic Widgets in Collaboration Center & CollabLink
RAE in conjunction with Black Knight has partnered with Local Logic to add two client-facing widgets to the Detail View in the Collaboration Center and the CollabLink page. Local Logic is a premiere location intelligence company born from the data science and urban planning disciplines. They work with the top consumer and real estate brands in Canada and the United States.
Imagine something like Walk Score, but much more precise, actionable, and engaging. Agents who have these tools experience higher engagement, better communication and provide a better overall experience to users on the professional and consumer side. The Local Logic widgets can be accessed from the Community tab of the Detail View. The widgets will be added to Paragon Connect early in 2023.
Lifestyle Scores
The Lifestyle Scores tool displays location insights based on the property level. Index scores from 1 to 10 are displayed, including 13 different categories that include Schools, Shopping, Grocery Stores, Daycares, Parks, and more.
Lifestyle Heatmaps
The Lifestyle Heatmaps displays location insights on the neighborhood level. Like the Lifestyle Scores, index scores from 1 to 10 and broken down by Transportation, Services and Character. The data is also displayed on a heatmap data for quick and easy reference.

What is CollabLink? CollabLink is the responsive Client Detail view that you can share with anyone, without the need to make them a contact. It will show correctly on any device that the recipient views the property information. This view can be shared a few different ways:
NOTE: If you want the recipient to be able to mark the listing as a favourite or possibility you should be adding the property to that client's listing cart, so it appears on their collaboration centre site as an agent-recommended listing.

Paragon Connect
Performance and Enhancement Updates
Black Knight continues to work on improving Paragon Connects performance. They have recently implemented several performance boosters, including login warmups, Hotsheets were completely redesigned, while the Connect Detail View has also been upgraded to use their latest Next Generation coding features.
Over the holidays Black Knight will continue to monitor performance and work on additional boosters for the new year. Property Search and Mapping Modules will be redesigned to use the new React code.
Hotsheet Alert Save - Now Less Clicks!
Prior to this release, you would need to go to your saved Hotsheet searches to set a Hotsheet alert. Now you can set a Hotsheet alert while you save a new search.
Note, max number of alerts you can save is five. Once you meet this threshold, the option to save a new alert from the save process will be disabled.
Contact List - New Shortcuts
The contact list was updated to include three shortcut actions that help you quickly get access your client’s information. These three actions include the ability to view all phone numbers, email addresses, and a link to the client’s Collaboration Center site.
Phone |
Tapping on the phone icon will open a simple dialog and list all phone numbers associated with the contact. Depending on the device you are on you can tap on the phone number to instantly call the contact or you can click on an SMS icon to text your client.
|
|
Clicking or tapping on the email icon will open a simple dialog with a list of all email addresses associated to the contact. You can select one or more email addresses to compose an email to your client.
Collaboration Center |
If your contact has a notification setup, you will find a web icon that when clicked/tapped will take you to your contact’s Collaboration Center site.
Listing Edit
Add a Tour
You now have the ability to add, edit and delete tours to listings. This will sync with Paragon Classic and allow you to see any tours created in either one.
Note, Tours are for REALTORS®️only.
Add
To add a new tour, you first must go to a listing that you can edit. From the menu, tap/click Listings and then tap/click Published. Tap/click the listing you want to add the tour to.
Once you have accessed the listing edit form, the overflow icon (three dots) will contain a new option called Tours.
This will house all of your tours for that listing. To add a new tour, you will click on the purple + icon in lower right hand corner.
This will launch the add tour modal. You fill out the form as instructed, click save, and just like that a new tour has been created.
