How To Setup A Hotsheet Alert In Paragon Connect

In this guide I'll go over how to setup a Hotsheet Alert to keep tabs on New Preview Listings in a specific City. Click or tap the Main Menu icon inside of Paragon Connect.

Select "Properties" to access the search options.

Choose the "Hotsheet" option.

Specify the duration for the Hotsheet: enter the number of days back or select "Since Last Run." Note that if you use a date range, no additional results will appear after the end date. For this example, 3 days back is selected.

Under "Filter," check "New" to ensure only listings new to the system within the Hotsheet period are displayed.

In the "Criteria" section, select "Members Only" under Listing Visibility Type to filter for preview status listings only. Then, choose the desired class and city. For this example, "Residential" and "Salem" are selected.

Instead of clicking or tapping "Search." click or tap the "Save" button.

In the new window, name your Hotsheet (choose a name that reflects your criteria) and check the "Hotsheet Alert" box.

After receiving a green "Hotsheet is saved" confirmation, you can click or tap "Search" to view the current results. Your Hotsheet Alert will now appear on the Paragon Connect homepage. From the widget, you can view updates (the last 3 days of new preview listings in Salem) or all results.

If you don't see the Hotsheet Alert widget after scrolling, customize your homepage widgets. Click the "Customize Dashboard" button in the top right corner of the Paragon Connect homepage.

In toolbar that appears, click "Add Widget"

Select "Hotsheet Alerts," then click or tap the "Add Widget" button. Finally, click "Save" on the toolbar to add it to your homepage.

You can also use this toolbar to rearrange your widgets or hide the buyer activity section on the homepage.
