The Rapattoni multi-media videos below, are standard Rapattoni videos that are provided to all of their MLS users across the country. The videos do not illustrate the "look" and "feel" of the CincyMLS version of Rapattoni, but will help in general understanding of how the Rapattoni MLS system functions. Actual functions and presentations may not exactly match the CincyMLS version of the Rapattoni MLS.
Please use both resources to help you use and understand CincyMLS Rapattoni!)
