Upon installation of the software, you will work with your onboarding project manager to configure the settings necessary to seamlessly integrate to NRDS. Some initial setup considerations include:

• Do you wish to tie NRDS ID to Account Number? Under the name of an agent or office is an account number field. You can setup your system to display the NRDS ID.

• What is the beginning number for your NRDS IDs? When adding new agents and offices, you will be able to request a NRDS ID. The system will issue the next NRDS ID, starting from your beginning number, to save you time and ensure no duplication.

• Which NRDS ID is to be used for NAR eCommerce when a purchaser does not have a NRDS ID? NRDS requires that a NRDS ID be sent with every Ecommerce transaction it receives, without exception. To satisfy this requirement, GrowthZone is configured with a default NRDS ID (it is suggested that a staff member ID is used)  in case a customer attempts to process a transaction and does not posses their own ID. This setting must be configured by your GrowthZone onboarding manager.

• Do you wish to link Membership status to NRDS, MLS and LockBox? To save time, you can setup rules to be applied to NRDS, MLS and LockBox status when you suspend, deactivate, reactivate or drop an agent's membership. See Link NRDS, MLS, LockBox status to Membership Status for further details.

• Do you wish to see the other associations to which your agents or offices are associated? If you would like to know of other associations, the Process/Import Other Active Association(s) setting will be enabled under Real Estate Edition Settings.
