Feature	MLXchange	Wyldfyre
Web-based vs. Software	Web-based: Regardless of where you are in the world, if you can access the Internet and have your SafeMLS token, you can access MLXchange, even on a different computer. This includes access to anything you have saved in your MLXchange.	Software based: Your Wyldfyre software must be loaded onto the computer you are using. Whatever is saved on this computer cannot be accessed from a different computer. The software can be loaded on more than one computer, but you are the only person who can login to that software.
Listings	All listings, whether input by you or your broker, are loaded into MLXchange, including any changes to existing listings, i.e. adding photos, virtual tours, open houses, etc.	Wyldfyre accesses the MLXchange database, so when listing information is loaded into MLXchange, it is automatically accessible in Wyldfyre with the same search results.
Search Criteria Screen	The search categories are the same as on the listing input sheet. However, when you click on the Search screen, you will only see a small list of the fields available. You have to click on the add search criteria button if you want to include additional fields.	The search categories are the same as on the listing input sheet. When you click on the Search screen, the fields appear in alphabetical order. You do not have to add search fields to the screen.
Listing Error	If you find a listing you’d like to clone and notice it has an error (i.e. incorrect model name or wrong subdivision), you can call the agent and ask them to change it, or report the listing to RMLS by clicking on the Report Data Error button. The Compliance Department will review the complaint and contact the Listing Broker and Agent to correct if it is found out of compliance.	If you find a listing you’d like to clone and notice it has an error, you can correct it instantly with your mouse!  Just hover over the listing with your mouse and the letter, “e” for edit will appear. Double click to correct the listing. The correction is NOT made in the Listing database, but you can email or print it. When you log back into Wyldfyre, the error will appear again. Of course corrections are meant to be ethical, so you cannot change the price or the listing agent as examples. But, it is a convenient feature for quick corrections.
