Sourcing Workspace FAQs

Q: Where can I view active listings?  

A: Active Listings exist within the Sourcing Workspace and are also known as “Listings” in LightBox Live. To access the Sourcing Workspace, click the options icon (4 horizontal lines in the top left corner of the page), then click the Sourcing button.  

Q: How do I search for listings in the Sourcing Workspace? 

A: If you know the name of the listing, utilize the universal search bar at the top of the page to conduct a keyword search. If you do not know the name of the listing, use the filters, such as property type and location, beneath and to the left of the search bar. Click the Search this area button in the top of the map panel to confine the search to the area currently visible on the map.

Within the map, there is the option to do an address search (click the Search in Area button at the top of the map). Click the Draw tool to create a search boundary by polygon or circle, then click in the Search in drawing box to search for results within the circle or polygon.  

Q: How do I search for off-market properties in the Sourcing Workspace? 

A: Click the All Properties tab under the Search Results heading in the top left corner of the page. Position the map at a fairly close range: within 1,000 feet map scale. The map scale can be seen in the bottom right corner of the map panel. Next, choose filters as needed to apply the choices, and click the Search this area button at the top of the map to generate the search. Results that match will be highlighted in a green boundary around each parcel, and the results on the left will update accordingly.  

Q: How do I sort results in the Sourcing Workspace? 

A: Click the Cards button in the upper left corner of the screen, then click Table in the drop-down menu for a list view. Click a column header to sort by alphabetical or numerical values.  

Click the Group By button and then click a command in the drop-down menu to group the results by the selected field.  

Q: How often are listings updated? 

A: Listing deals are updated in real time. 

Q: How do I save a listing or off-market property? 

A: If the card view is active, click the star icon on each card you wish to save. If the table view is selected, checkmark the listing or property of interest and then click the Save button (star icon above the list which becomes available after check-marking at least 1). Up to 100 listings can be saved at a time.  

Q: How do I archive listings to no longer view them? 

A: If the card view of listings is selected, click the box icon on a card to archive it. If the table view of listings is selected, checkmark one or more listings you wish to archive and then click the Archive button, which looks like a banker box, in the top right corner of the table. Up to 100 of these can be archived at a time. 

Q: If I mark a listing as saved (favorite it), how do I access it? 

A: While in the Sourcing workspace, click the Search Results button in the upper left corner and then click the Favorite Listings button in the drop-down menu.
