What's New - October 2022

Enhancements

Sometimes big ideas need to give way to smaller day-to-day needs. The following are some of the smaller enhancements made to existing features within ATTOM Cloud.

Co-Mingling All Markets

When using our Slipstream MLS endpoints it is now possible to make requests for a search across all the markets accessible from the API Token being used. This is achieved by using a wildcard character (*) to specify the market. e.g. &market=*

Quality of Life

User Interest

As part of our ongoing efforts to customize the ATTOM Cloud experience to meet differing needs, we have added a new setting to the User Profile called Primary Interest. This will allow you to indicate which of the three key areas (ATTOM Cloud, ATTOM API, Property Reports) is of most interest. The home page will then be configured to give that area greater prominence.

Home Page Design

Our lead designer wasn't completely happy with the way her mockups had been implemented with the initial release of the new home page. We have gone back and made a few small tweaks to the UI to improve the overall look and feel of the ATTOM Cloud home page. We hope you like what we have done.

Deep Linking

It is now possible to bookmark many of the pages within ATTOM Cloud so that you can go directly to that page, even if you have not yet signed in. The following are some examples of where deep linking now works: -

cloud.attomdata.com/propertyreports (Property Reports)
cloud.attomdata.com/queries/new (SQL Editor)
cloud.attomdata.com/solutionpack/sp-tax (specific Solution Pack)

We have also added several sub-domain names to make it easier to remember how to go directly to some of the more commonly used pages without having to traverse the home page.The new sub-domains are: -

property-reports.attomdata.com (Property Reports)
sql.attomdata.com (SQL Editor)

If you are not signed in to ATTOM Cloud, you will be prompted to enter your user id and password before being taken to the requested page.

ISO Date Formats

Our ATTOM API endpoints have been updated so that any dates returned are now formatted to the ISO standard for dates - e.g. 2022-09-02

Data

ATTOM is constantly looking for new sources of property data. When we find new data it is our goal to make it available within ATTOM Cloud asap. The following are new data elements that are now available as part of ATTOM Cloud. Most of these are available for immediate evaluation via our 5-county limited trial database, included as part of your ATTOM Cloud account.

HOA

Details for up to four Home Owner Associations (HOA) for which a property is a member. Each HOA is responsible for setting and enforcing rules for a subdivision, planned community, or condominium building. Anyone who purchases property within an HOA jurisdiction automatically becomes a member and must pay dues known as HOA fees. HOAs often have significant power including the ability to place liens over property and to foreclose on those properties if unpaid fees and/or fines accumulate. more details...

Bugs

Sometimes in the rush to deliver new features and enhancements, we allow bugs to creep into the code. We're pretty sure there are a lot more that haven't yet been found, but of those that have been discovered by our customers or the team here at ATTOM, the following are some that we believe we have squashed this month.

Invitation Link Leads

One of the reasons we provided a new feature to invite team members to register for ATTOM Cloud was so we could identify these people as not being new leads. That was the plan, but we found some people were continuing to get e-mails or phone calls from our Lead Development team. We have tracked down why this was happening and made the appropriate change to stop this from happening. Our apologies if you received unwanted contacts from ATTOM when all you were wanting to do was use the product you have already purchased.

Solution Catalog Search/Filter

For a brief period of time, efforts to use the search or filter features of our Solution Catalog would result in a blank page being displayed. Very annoying! This issue has now been fixed.

Intermittent Authentication Timeout Issues

As part of our legacy authentication, we also validate and include MLS entitlements and aggregates. These aggregates are adding additional processing time that sometimes leads to timeout expiration. We now added a new boolean parameter (authOnly), when true, we authenticate and do not include any MLS details, thus making the call much faster without any overhead.
