Paragon Connect Updates: All Features Field In LIM, Compare Competition Listings

Paragon Connect has been updated with an All Features field in Listing Maintenance, and a Compare Competition Listings tool within the Seller's Report.

All Features Field In Listing Maintenance

The All Features field is now available within Paragon Connect. When included on the Listing Input form, it offers a streamlined way to enter property features in Paragon Connect. Instead of selecting features across multiple fields, you now have the option to enter all relevant features in one place. This enhancement is designed to simplify listing input while maintaining flexibility — agents can still enter features manually by category if preferred.

Highlights:

• Supports autocomplete by name, code, or value

• Fully synced with individual feature fields

• Optional use — agents can choose their preferred input method
