The Listings Defaults and Preferences page controls how listings display and behave across your website. These settings apply to existing listings and to every new listing you add, so it is worth setting them before you start adding listings.

Permission required: Admin.

Open the Preferences page

1. From the admin dashboard, go to Listings > Preferences.
2. Adjust the settings, then click Save.

The options are organized into three groups.

General Settings

Settings that affect listings wherever they appear.

• Auto Syndication — automatically syndicate every new listing to all of your syndication partners, or select partners manually.
• Labels for Transaction Type, Property Type, and List Status — rename these fields to match the terms used in your local market. Renaming a label does not change how the field behaves, so keep labels close to their original meaning. You can also pick a default value, which is pre-selected when adding listings and shown first when visitors browse or search your site.

Listings List Page

A List Page is any page that shows multiple properties, such as search results or a listing group.

• Default Layout — choose List or Map. Visitors can switch layouts.
• Default Map — choose the default map type (Roadmap, Satellite, or Hybrid) when the map layout is used.
• Photo Size — choose Small or Medium. Larger photos can slow page loading.
• Listings Per Page — set how many listings appear per page.
• Default Sort By — set the default sort order. Visitors can choose a different sort.
• Default Bldg. Measurement — set the measurement used for building sizes and search forms.
• Display Location Fields and Display Other Fields — choose which fields appear on List Pages. You typically show fewer fields here, since all fields still appear on the listing Detail Page.

Listings Detail Page

The Detail Page shows all details for an individual listing.

• Lead Capture — set how many listings a visitor can view before they must sign up or log in. Enter 0 for unlimited access. Use at least 1 so search engines and visitors arriving from a listing Detail Page (for example, via syndication) can always reach it.
