(WCMLS Only) How Do I search for open houses?

Note that this answer applies only to the Warren County [New York] MLS.

To search for open houses:

1. Click on the Open House quick search button (or use the "New Search" button) in the system tray at the left of the Kinnexus screen, either in "Favorites" or "Search." This opens the Open House Search Wizard.
2. Enter the appropriate search criteria. Note that the date field defaults to "thisweek," but also allows conventional dates, date ranges, and other expressions, just as date fields in listing searches do.
3. Click "Go" to run the search.

Note that mapping is enabled for open houses. You can enter one or more areas on a search map in the same manner as in a listing search. (Click the map button in the search wizard, ALT-click on the four corners of the area, repeat for any additional areas, and click the finish -- checkered flag -- button to save the map criteria you have entered.)

To see the open house(s) for a specific listing:

1. By running a search or using the hot sheet, find the listing in question and open it in any report.
2. Click on the Open Houses button in the bottom button bar, near the right end of the bar. A list of open houses for this listing, if any, will appear. (This is essentially the same thing you do to see the listing's history, but using a different -- and adjacent -- button.)

TIP: Do not confuse the "Create Open House" button with the "Open House" button you use to view open houses for a listing. When you are editing your own listing (or an office listing), both buttons are visible.

Please note that this open house functionality is new and may be modified from time to time, as experience reveals the need or opportunity for improvement.
