How does Customer Behaviour work? Data is gathered based on the search behaviour of your property search users. When a property search user takes specific actions, such as request a showing, inquire about a listing, or create a profile, an email is sent that summarizes that user’s activity on your property search.

The Customer Behaviour Summary includes information such as number of visits to your property search, searches conducted, cities searched, average price searched, listings viewed, and much more!

We included a new tool called Web Standards Mode.  Essentially this feature, located in the Edit Website area, lets you set the proper website design document type on your primary web pages, thus allowing your website to most likely look the same in each different browser.  This is really neat from a website design point-of-view and one of the first steps towards some big website improvements we are anticipating.

You can access the Web Standards Mode right within the Edit Website > Website Editing Tools area of your Point2 Agent accounts.  For more information about Web Standards Mode and how it works, please visit the User Manual.

I am pleased to be able to share again some of the newest features added to the Point2 Agent software in a recent release earlier this week.

Cross-browser Compatibility:  We have fully integrated the ability to access your Point2 Agent accounts using the browser of your choice.  We have been working on introducing this feature for quite some time now - at our members’ request - and are happy to say it is finally available.  Point2 Agent is now cross-browser compatible for:

• Internet Explorer 6-8
• Firefox 2-3
• Chrome
• Safari

Remember, you’ll always receive a better browsing experience by using the latest version of your preferred browser.  For further information visit the User Manual.

(Kudos to our very own Bryan Larson for prepping these icon knock-offs for your viewing pleasure.)

Improved Content Editor: We’ve upgraded the content editor for all Point2 Agent sites to one that includes more features and is extremely user-friendly.  We are sure you’ll enjoy editing your website even more so now.  Here’s just a few of the new features of the content editor:

• Anchors can be created directly through the editor
• Hex codes can be inserted for color
• Better HTML content generation
• The restriction of 800×600 image upload size has been removed
• Full screen editing capabilities
• Table tags are now outlined so you can easily see where they exist within the content
• Editor templating system allows you to choose a content layout template and replace it with your own content

Learn more about working with the new content editor in the User Manual.

Updated Photo Upload Tool:  With the addition of cross-browser compatibility, we’ve also improved the way our members upload photos.  For those using Internet Exporer, you can continue using PUFLITE.  However for those using browsers other than Internet Explorer, you can now easily upload photos using our Java-based photo upload tool.  In order to use the non-Internet Explorer photo upload tool, you will need to have the latest version of Java installed on your computer.  (Download here: http://java.com/en/download/)  Further detailed instructions on both methods of uploading photos can be found in the User Manual.

What’s coming?: We’ve got some big plans ahead for our members – and crazy-good improvements.  I am so excited I can barely contain myself.
