What is Area Manager?
Area Manager defines the geographic areas your MLS Genie™ site covers. These areas are used by the GenieScout Engine to validate incoming listings and by GeoGenie™ to detect out-of-area imports.
Accessing Area Manager
Go to Settings → Area Manager. The panel shows a list of configured areas and a map view of their boundaries.
Adding an area
Click Add Area. Enter the area name as you want it to appear on your site (e.g. "Big Bear Lake", "Sugarloaf"). Set the city name and ZIP codes that belong to this area. Save the area and it becomes active for the next import.
Area priority
If a listing's ZIP code matches multiple areas, the area with the higher priority number takes precedence. Drag areas in the list to reorder priority.
After making changes
Area changes apply to new imports. Existing listings are not re-categorized automatically. To re-categorize existing listings, go to GenieScout → Run Import Now.
