RAHB Matrix Cutover Timeline

by | Oct 10, 2017 | DS, Matrix, MLS®, Stats & Technology | 0 comments

There’s only one week until we make the final cutover to RAHB’s Matrix MLS® System on Tuesday, October 17, 2017! Here are a few things you need to know as we get closer to cutover.

Sunday, October 15, 2017

9 p.m.
  • Cut-off for having your new listing or listing changes uploaded to REALTOR.ca prior to cutover. This will be RAHB’s last upload to REALTOR.ca from Fusion; the next upload will occur around noon on Tuesday, October 17 from RAHB Matrix.

Monday, October 16, 2017

4 p.m.

  • Broker loading in Fusion will be disabled. No further listings entry or maintenance will be allowed until the cutover to Matrix is complete at Noon on Tuesday, October 17.

     

  • Both Fusion and RAHB Matrix will be available in read only mode, so you can continue to perform searches.

Tuesday, October 17, 2017

11 a.m.

  • The new Residential and Commercial Property Information Forms will be available on WEBForms™. All new listings must use the new Residential and Commercial Property Information Forms.
12 Noon

  • RAHB Matrix will be available for broker loading by Noon at the latest. It may be available earlier – once the “Input (Test)” tab at the top of the screen changes to “Input” in RAHB Matrix, you will be good to go!

  • All broker loading, other listing maintenance, searches, etc. will now take place ONLY in RAHB Matrix, with access to all RAHB and regional boards’ listings.
  • Fusion, Regional Matrix, Statistics Information Management (SIM) and OpenHouses.ca buttons will be deleted from your single sign on (SSO) dashboard at my.rahb.ca.
  • The first upload to REALTOR.ca will commence after cutover.  Any listings or listing changes entered between 9 p.m. Sunday and Noon Tuesday will appear on REALTOR.ca before Midnight Tuesday.

OpenHouses.ca and SIM

As noted above, these programs will be removed from your dashboard once we cut over to Matrix.

You will no longer require the OpenHouses.ca link, as you will be able to enter your public open houses directly into Matrix. Here’s a video explaining how.

SIM will be retired with Fusion because some of the reports are obsolete, some are available in Market Reports in Matrix, and others are under your My Matrix tab in Matrix.

There are, however, several reports that will be re-programmed for Matrix. We are in the process of redeveloping Residential Sales by Area and the Residential Comparison Report, and will consider other reports as well. These reports will be available prior to the end of November.

If you are a regular user of SIM, here’s where you can find the various reports in Matrix:

Member and Office Activity

SIM included reports that would show your listings and sales activity for a given year. There are two reports in Market Reports > On Demand that will give you the same information:

  • Agent Production Report: This report will display only your sales activity for a specified period of time. Unlike SIM, where you were restricted to one calendar year, this report will show you all of your sales for a specified period.  You can make it as long or as short a time period as you like.
  • Office Production Report: This will show you all of your office’s production (without identifying the listing or selling salespeople) for a given period, similar to the Agent Production Report.

Head Office Production Report

This report, available only to Brokers of Record, will show all activity for their Brokerage. The time frame can be specified, similar to the two reports mentioned above, and if there are multiple offices in the Brokerage, you can select which offices to display.

Your listings

Information about your previous listings history, along with your current inventory, can be found under My Matrix > My Listings.

Market Share

Market Share Reports for both individuals and brokerages are currently being explored.

As always, you can contact the RAHB MLS® Department with any questions. Our staff can be reached at 905.667.4650, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. weekdays. You can also contact me at 905.529.8101 x241 with your questions.
