The process for setting up saved property folders and enabling notifications for them in AUTOPROP is as follows:
1.) Select Properties in AUTOPROP
The first step is to select properties in AUTOPROP. You can do this using the selection tools, or by right clicking on the map.
Once you have selected the properties you want, you can save them in two ways. The first way is to use the New Notification button at the top of the screen:
Or you can navigate to the Properties table and continue with step 2 below:
2.) Save Properties
Once the Properties Table is activated, click on "Save Selected":
NOTE: you can also select only a portion of the properties using the checkboxes on the left side of the table.
You have the option to either:
Select an existing folder
Create a new folder
3.) Create a New Folder
If you elect to create a new folder, you will see the following screen:
Choose a name for your folder. If you want to enable Notifications for this folder, leave the checkbox turned on (you can disable these at any time as well).
4.) Select Notification Types
You can select any notification types you like in this screen:
Here are specifics on the available notification types at this time:
PID is deleted (Subdivision or Assembly): notifications will trigger when any change in the parcel fabric is detected, either by way of subdivision or assembly of properties.
Changes in zoning on parcels: notifications will trigger when the zone code changes on a property (rezoning).
Changes in status on existing development/rezoning applications (i.e. approved): notifications will trigger when either:
A new development or rezoning application on your PID is detected.
A development application or rezoning application is removed from Active status.
A development application or rezoning application changes information such as status or description.
New land use layers: notifications will trigger when the land use layer is added or changed for your PID. Layers are subject to availability in AUTOPROP, and can be used for the following:
OCP: Official Community Plan
NCP: Neighbourhood Concept Plan
LAP: Local Area Plan
DPA: Development Permit Area
Remove listings on Broker Listings: notifications will trigger when a listing from our Broker Listings amalgamation is removed.
New listings from Broker Listings: notifications will trigger when a listing is added to our Broker Listings amalgamation.
NOTE: You can customize the filters you want to show for notifications as well. Use the filters as you normally would in Broker Listings.
Finally, click "Save and Preview".
Congratulations, you've now set up your first Saved Properties Folder with Notifications enabled.
