IntraMatrix: Your One-Click Access to Georgia’s FMLS
IntraMatrix between NTREIS and FMLS (First MLS, Georgia) is on the way!
What is IntraMatrix?
Much simpler and faster to implement than a data share or conversion, IntraMatrix provides a convenient way to access other Matrix systems. By clicking a link in the top right corner of Matrix, agents can easily move from their “home” system to an “away” system where they can perform a variety of familiar Matrix functions. IntraMatrix gives visiting agents the ability to:
- Search for listings
- Create contacts
- Send emails (direct and auto)
- Create CMAs
- View statistics and market reports
Listing input (add/edit) and administrative functions are always disabled. The functionality available through IntraMatrix is standardized and cannot be changed. See below for a more detailed description of the features IntraMatrix provides.
IntraMatrix Details
IntraMatrix uses access at the database level to allow agents to move between systems. Your own system is referred to as the “Home System” and cooperating systems as “Away Systems.”
IntraMatrix leverages Matrix User Classes (MUCs) to facilitate a secure, one-size-fits-all level of system access. The IntraMatrix security profile mimics the “Agent with No Input” MUC, which disallows listing add/edit. Nonlicensed users do not have access to IntraMatrix but can use the feature by logging in as an agent they are authorized to impersonate.
Many third-party integrations will not work. Generic links to vendor home pages may work, but SSO integrations will not because vendors will not expect agents to be coming from the Away System. MLS and agent-paid services like Cloud CMA won’t be available.
Available Features
The following features are available to all agents visiting the Away System:
- Home page widgets, except for those that refer to an external vendor paid for by the MLS. All regular Matrix widgets are available, e.g., Market Watch, Hotsheets, News, Contacts, Stats, etc.
- System news. There is no ability to target visiting agents.
- All configured navigation menu options except for Input and Admin. Available options can include Dashboard, Search, Roster Search, Stats, Tax, Finance, Market Reports, Links, Help, Settings, and Mobile. Market Reports that already have MUC restrictions will not be available.
- All Searches for Matrix-provided data sets. Available search types include Office, Agent, Teams, Listings, Open Houses, Tax, and History.
- Contacts functionality.
- Saved Searches, including Auto Email Searches. Emails will show the Away System as the originating address. Users may need to explain to clients why they are sending email from a different address.
- OneHome or the Matrix client portal, whichever the Away System offers. If the Home System and Away system offer different portal solutions, users may need to explain this to clients.
- SMS text message notifications, if configured.
- CMAs and 360 CMAs.
- Exporting Office, Agent, Listing, and Tax records, according to the Away System’s established rules.
- Listing media, according to the Media Privacy privileges of the “Agent with No Input” MUC in the Away System.
Unavailable Features
The following features are NOT available to agents visiting the Away System:
- Listing input (add/edit), including access to audit logs.
- IDX frame configuration. Most IDX setups are based on My Listings, My Office Listings, etc. Since the agent does not have add/edit, this configuration is not available.
- Team functionality. Team information is only available on the Home System.
- Administrative tools and privileges.
- Contacts and Saved Searches from the Home System. There is no conversion of data between systems.
