Base allows you to load property listings once and update them automatically to property portals and your Flex website. Users can select the portals they want to market to, while administrators can restrict access to portals for users.
Portal status indicators
Every listing has individual status indicators for each portal. Once a listing is loaded it will go into in process status. Any problems are returned back as error status, and once it is live on the portal, it will return active status. If you update any details on a listing, it is reprocessed and the indicators on portals will go into process again.
 | Not enabled or selected | User hasn't select the portal or the option was removed by the administrator |
| Active | The listing is active. Hover your mouse over the indicator to get the time it was activated. |
| Error | There was an error processing your listings on either the portal or Base side. Hover your mouse over the error for an explanation. |
| In process | The system is in the queue for processing or awaiting status update from the portal |
The listing syndication page gives a consolidated overview of all statuses per portal. Click on a status next to the portal to get details of errors or in process listings.
Understanding syndication errors
You can review a portal error by going to the feeds tab of a listing, and opening the relevant portal to see the details. If the error is not self explanatory you can open a live chat to our helpdesk to help resolve.
Should there by any general interface problem with portals your listings will remain in the queue and start processing automatically as soon as the problem has been resolved. Listings just uploaded will have a 'in progress' icon and update as soon as the listing is live.

Portal update frequency
Once a listing is loaded, it goes into a processing queue to update to the portals, with your oldest listing being processed first.
All portals are processed simultaneously. Due to the processing differences between portals, you will see some portals updating instantly (within a few minutes) to the slowest updating within 24 hours (they usually process listings only once a day). Estimated update times per portal can be found here.
Removal of listings from portals
Once a listing is made inactive (expired, withdrawn, etc) the system will automatically remove the listing from the portal.
If a listing is made sold (pending or final), portals that support sold status listings will show it for some time while others will remove them:
Property24: will keep sold listings on for 7 days
Private Property: will keep sold listings on for 30 days
Private Property displays rentals on the portal for 30 days and sales for 90 days.
MyProperty: Your sold stock will not be removed from MyProperty automatically, to remove it you need to mark them as inactive or deselect them from the relevant feeds in the feed tab in Base.
Flex: Your sold stock will not be removed from your Flex website automatically, to remove it you need to mark them as inactive or deselect them from the relevant feeds in the feed tab in Base.
Other portals: Sold listings are removed
This process can take up to 24 hours, due to the different processing frequencies from portals.
