Hit submit and the
details will then be saved to the Database! You can then add an image(s)
to each of your properties…
IMAGES
One of the best features of Agent-See is the ability to add images WITHOUT
the need for complex software.
The image can be scanned
or transferred from a digital camera, but there are a few safeguards in
place that you need to be aware of before you can do this.
IMAGE SIZE (READ
THIS BIT)
The Max Size (Default setting) in Agent-See is 40K! This may seem small
but Please bear in mind that many people will be viewing your site over
a slow connection! Most images from digital cameras and scanners will be
MUCH bigger that this initially!
You need to
Crop and Compress the image BEFORE you try to upload it
FORMAT (AND THIS)
Agent-See will ONLY accept JPG files for upload this is because jpegs are
the best format for photographic images on the Web (due to bandwidth limitations)
There are many tools out there which will enable you to Crop and Compress
your image; The GIMP is available for FREE from the Bright Banana Website
and is more than capable for our needs! A guide to cropping, scaling and
exporting images with the GIMP can be found here.
An image of 400X300
and compressed at 80% will give good results, but please don't go to mad
with the compression, as this will give "blocky" images.
UPLOADING
This is the easy bit! The property you have just created will now be in
your agent admin area and you can add an image to it by clicking MODIFY
LISTING.
All the details you
entered for this property are listed here and you can also amend them, but
we are going to add and image now so scroll to the bottom of the property
details and you will see a new bit that is headed Manage Images.
This is where you upload
an image of the property. . .
Click BROWSE
Now navigate to the image file you wish to upload this could be in C:\mydocuments\images\
for example.
Double click the file
(or select open) and the details are entered into the field. You then need
to enter in the TITLE field a brief description of the image (spacious dinning
room). The click on UPLOAD and after a few seconds the image should be saved
and you will see a message telling you that the upload has been successful.
PROBLEMS
Image uploading issues are frequently caused by trying to upload a file
that is too big and or the wrong file type, please see above.
We are aware of issues
affecting users of Opera and we are currently working on a fix for this.
DELETING LISTINGS
Once you have sold your clients property it will be necessary to remove
it from your listings. To do this, Log in to your agent area by clicking
on "Agent Log in" and you will see a list of all your properties,
select the one you wish to delete and click on the delete link. You will
be asked to confirm this and if this is correct click OK. The listing has
now been removed!
LOGGING OUT
Once you have finished adding, modifying or deleting listings you should
log out of the Agent Area; you can do this by clicking on the 
(Log Out) Icon.
(Agent Log in) you will need your USERNAME and PASSWORD which you should have been given when your account was created.
