Some tips to get started with the CTI Navigator website

Menus

This site is designed to accomodate various devices and screen sizes . However, due to its responsive design, items will shift to different locations depending on the size of your screen. When on a large screen like a computer monitor the site displays as many items and menu options as possible. But, in order to accommodate small screens such as on Smartphones, some items (such as email or print MLS reports) were moved to a menu item called Options. So, if you do not see the button you are looking for, check for it under Options.

When on a narrow screen mobile device, menus are collapsed to two buttons . The first is the main menu for the entire system. The second is for items specific to the current function you are in.

Search listings

To see the number of matches for your search criteria, click "Match Count" in the search toolbar. "Summary" displays a list of results and "Details" indepth property information.

When adding shapes to search on the map: select the shape tool; click and let up (or tap with a finger); then move your mouse (button up) or move your finger (on touchscreen) to define your area.

To view the photos for a listing, select Photos in the Detail view. This will display a photo gallery. Click on an individual photo in the gallery to open it in a "Photo Viewer". You can click on the photo in this viewer to display left and right navigation buttons that allow you to move from photo to photo. To close the Photo Viewer and return to the Photo Gallery, click the "X" in the upper right corner of the viewer frame.

To select more than one item in a list on Windows hold down your control (ctrl) key and select the items. On the Mac use the command key.

Email a listing

When you email a listing, your client receives your message with a link they can click on to view the properties. When the client clicks on the link, a "Property Viewer" is displayed. The viewer has Previous/Next buttons to cycle through the properties, similar to the details view in listing search. Also, when you send the email, you can set options for the viewer to include documents, map, etc. You can also attach a file to your email.

Announcements

Announcements are itemized on the Home Page under "News". Click on any news item to display its detail in a News Viewer screen. You can scroll through all news items on the viewer screen.

Add Listing

Add a Photo - To resize a photo, you can use your mouse wheel, or on a touchscreen use your fingers to pinch in/out, to zoom the size of your photo image. Then adjust the crop-box over the desired image area and click save. The system is sensitive to photo orientation, and you can rotate the photo as needed.

Map - The system will automatically try to add a location pin on the map based on the street address. However, if it can't locate the address, you can position the map to the property location. Click the "Set Location" button, and then click on the map position where you wish to place the pin. You can then drag the pin as need for fine adjustment.
