As SkySlope is a tool that serves brokerages coast to coast, we want our platform to be as customizable as possible, allowing all users to get the most from the system, and design their account to best fit their workflow. With Field Configuration, we have added the ability to turn off requirements, or even hide, some of the fields in Listing and Transaction files. 

What does this mean?
Typically, in Listing and Transaction files, there are fields that default to a required status. For example, the Commission fields, the Year Built, the Source, the Escrow Number, and the Closing and Acceptance Dates are some of the fields that currently default to required. With Field Configuration, you as the broker now have the ability to make these fields not required to better fit your office's needs. 

What can I change?
The fields that can be edited vary by file type. Here's what can be changed:

Listing File Configuration

Below are the data fields and contact fields that can be made Required or Not Required in a Listing file.

Data Fields:

• Source
• Year Built
• Listing Commission
• Sale Commission

In the Skye workflow, the Listing and Sale Commission amounts can also be visible or completely hidden.

Listing Contact Fields:

• Seller First Name
• Seller Last Name
• Seller Phone Number
• Seller Email Address

In the Skye workflow, the Seller phone number and email address can also be visible or completely hidden.

Transaction File Configuration

Below are the data fields and contact fields that can be made Required or Not Required in a Transaction file.

Transaction Tab:

• MLS#
• Year Built
• Sales Price
• Source
• Escrow #
• Office Lead?
• Closing Date
• Acceptance Date

Commission Tab:

Transaction Contact Fields:
The various Contacts in SkySlope can be managed in different ways, depending on the type of Contact. Some are managed on a file-by-file basis, depending on the primary agent on the file. Others are managed on an office-to-office level. Keep reading for the specs.

• These fields are either Required or Optional across the whole brokerage
  • Seller (First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number)
  • Buyer (First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number)
  • Title Company (First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Company Name, and Email)
  • Escrow Company (First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Company Name, Email)
  • Attorney (First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Email, Firm Name)
  • Agent on the Other Side (First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Company Name, and Email)

Note: The Seller and Buyer fields can also be changed to be dependent on the file type (Listing Sold vs. Sale) and the side of the deal that the agent is representing.

How are these changes made?
To ensure changes are made to best fit the company's needs, this process is set up by the Broker contacting their SkySlope Customer Success Manager. Once the CSM is contacted, an open conversation can be had about the needs of the company, and then changes can be implemented by the CSM to fit these needs. The options are limitless!
