SETTING A LISTING TO THE INACTIVE STATUS:

Listing statuses can only be changed in the Change Listing field:

REASONS WHY A LISTING WILL SHOW AS INACTIVE:

• A listing which is loaded onto LMS (and the photos are uploaded as well), but NO portal feed has been ticked when the listing is SUBMITTED will automatically be loaded as INACTIVE.
• A listing which is loaded onto LMS (and the photos are uploaded as well), but not yet SUBMITTED, will be in DRAFT format. When the listing is activated but NO portal feed has been ticked when the listing is SUBMITTED, will automatically be loaded as INACTIVE.
• If a listing has an ACTIVE status but all the portal feeds are later unticked by using the Change Listing Status button which opens the LISTING STATUS & FEED module, the listing status will also be changed to INACTIVE listing status on the LISTING DASHBOARD.
• If a listing does have one or more portals ticked when initially SAVING it to LMS, or if any portal names are ticked under the LISTING STATUS & FEED module, but the status has not been changed manually to ACTIVE before saving it, the portal feeds will still show GREY next to the listing name on the LISTING DASHBOARD since the STATUS is not set to ACTIVE and will still reflect as an INACTIVE listing.
