Accessing Your Client Accounts
The best way to access your client accounts is via your Developer Portal.
When you log in, the first view will be My Accounts.
Log in to any of your accounts as the primary user by clicking the login icon on the right.
This login icon will also be shown against all Users too.
Now you have full access to this client account to help you with any customizations, set up and support.
NOTE: You can only be logged in to one account at a time in your browser.
To Switch Back to your Main Account
When you finished working in one of your client accounts, your options are:
- Log off.
This will end the session and you will need to login again to your main account - Switch Back to yourself.
This option allows you to leave your client's account and return to your main account.
To do this click "Switch Back To Myself" in the top menu, as shown in the image below:
Getting Help and Support
To add a help ticket, click the "Help & Support" menu item, then "New Help Ticket".
When a Help Ticket is submitted from any account, our support team immediately can see the account, websites and leads associated with the account.
There are multiple ways you can submit help tickets:
From Your Own Account
Use this option if YOU need general help or assistance with your account
From Your Own Account, referencing one of your Client Accounts
Use this option if you need our assistance with a client account and you don't want the client involved in the discussion
From a Client Account
You can login to one of your Client Accounts and submit a help ticket. You will be logged in as the client - so the ticket will look entirely as if it has come from the client.
You can add your own email address as a CC on the help ticket so that you get copies on replies.
How to Set Up Your Own Demo Site
Your Developer Portal includes a full Buying Buddy demo account that you can use to create your own demonstration website using the Demo MLS.
