1 Listing Photo Slideshow Paragon v5.2.6 Release Enhancements With the October 1, 2012 sunset of the Paragon Desktop product, LPS MLS has implemented a new Listing Slideshow (previously found in the Desktop Product) that can be used online as well as offline to present listing images to clients. This feature is available within the Actions Menu in a listing result set. The recommended display for the Slideshow is 1024 x 768 for optimum viewing. To ensure proper performance, the Slideshow will be defaulted to display up to 50 Listings at a time. Slideshow Offline Mode After generating the Slideshow via the online browser, Users will be able to access the Slideshow without having to be logged into the Paragon System (via caching). Note: Clearing a browsers cache will eliminate the off line mode of the Slideshow. However, the link can be reused if connected to the internet. The Listing Slideshow s link will be retained for 30 days. Once expired, the system will notify the user that the Slideshow has been removed. After generating the Slideshow (launched in a new browser tab), Users can copy the link from the new tab or while completing the setup steps before it is generated, the user can choose to have the system automatically e mail them the Slideshow link so that they can share it with their customers!
