Enhancement Update… Available Now!
New forms in REsearch include Spell Check

We have released new forms into our system (Rev. 4/07 Release 11/07). With the new forms, some of the issues users were experiencing have been fixed, and alignment of the text in some of the fields has been improved. Because of these changes you will need to download the latest version of Acrobat Reader. You can do this through ‘ www.adobe.com’ or if you go to our login page you will notice a link under the username and password area. A new feature you will receive by installing this upgrade is a spell checker . This has been among the most requested feature by our customers. Now as you type through your forms, words will be underlined with a red line if they are not spelled correctly. You can then right click the underlined word and pick from a list of suggested spellings. If you run into any problems with the new forms please call our Tech Support staff or send an email to TechSupport@HawaiiInformation.com .

We are still working on a spell checking feature for the Listing Input Form aka Data Entry form.

Coming Soon! Soon to be released…
Public Record links to Condo Documents

Wow! What about this Enhancement?

We are currently testing an enhancement that we anticipate releasing as early as next week to all of our customers that subscribe to our TMK service. All subscribers with TMK (Public Records) service will have the convenience of accessing condo documents by just clicking on links in the TMK record for any condo project in the State. Once released, you will notice a section like the one shown below in each TMK record for condo properties.

DEVELOPER’S PUBLIC REPORT/ASSOCIATION BIENNIAL REGISTRATION
No.: 5265
Name: MOANA PACIFIC
Address: PENSACOLA & PIIKOI
Developer: KC RAINBOW DEV CO LLC

The condo documents that are on record with the state for each property will be listed in this section. Just click on the document “No.” or the condo project “Name” and the document will open in a new window for your viewing or printing.

If you are a full MLS subscriber, the TMK service is already included in your MLS subscription so you will be able to access the condo docs as soon as it is released .

If you are not a full MLS subscriber or TMK subscriber and would like to enjoy this new enhancement, please contact one of our Sales and Marketing representatives to sign up for it. If you are on the Big Island or Kauai, please contact Ann McCarty by calling 1-800-628-3121, enter # and then 157, or send her an email at Ann@AlohaLiving.com. If you are on Oahu or Maui, please contact Colleen Yasuhara. You may reach her at 599-4224, enter # and the 151, if you’re on Oahu, or 1-800-628-3121, enter # and 151, if you’re on Maui. Her email address is Colleen@AlohaLiving.com.

We will send out an announcement as soon as access to the condo documents is released to our Live system. At this time we are targeting its release on Wednesday, November 14th.

Map Service Improvements

We are rigorously testing improvements to our Map Service and have addressed problems that were encountered with our last attempt to release them. Customer input and suggestions provided to us at that time, have helped us to resolve issues that caused us to roll back the last release. This release will include many new features that were developed based largely on your requests and suggestions, and also by our striving to provide you with the newest map tools available in mapping services.

These map service enhancements are also targeted for release on November 14th. We will send out another announcement confirming its release on that date. Once these are released, please let us know if you encounter any problems with them, and do feel free to share your comments and suggestions with us.

If you do not currently have Map service and would like to sign up for it, or if you have any questions about it, please contact our Sales and Marketing representatives.

No room for your Certifications or Designations?

We’re adding a new field in REsearch!

We appreciate that many of our customers have taken extra steps to attend courses and classes to further their knowledge of the industry and become experts in specific areas. The rewards for this effort are the certifications and designations that these customers have earned that they would like to be able to display after their names on all forms and brochures that they generate through REsearch. Up to now, we’ve had you add these after your last name in the Update Your Profile last name field. Some of you have been so ambitious that there is not enough room in that field to accommodate your last name and all of your hard earned certifications and designations. Therefore, we are adding a field called “Subscriber Designations” in which you will have the ability to update all of your certifications and designations as you desire. Once this field is available, we will ask that you remove the certifications and designations from the last name field and type them in this new field.
