Sometimes ... It's Good to Guess
Searching is great, but sometimes the number of results can be overwhelming. So why not try guessing the page you need? Start at the front page of the manual and ask yourself where in the manual you're likely to find the information you're looking for.
If you're looking for information about how to do something, there's a very good chance you'll find the answer in the User Guides. For example, if you're looking for instructions about how to settle a joint recording, it's a pretty good guess that you'll find it in the User Guides. The same goes for standard dealings, FR plans, and rejections processes. You'll find them all in User Guides.
If you're looking for more detailed information about how to do something, there's a very good chance you'll find it in Further Guidance. It's especially good for plans information, with a series of detailed guides that support the User Guides. But there's other stuff too - about CMS, for example, and a comprehensive page about complex dealings.
The Subject Index section contains information about more advanced topics such as the Title Conditions Act, Leases, and Liferents. It also contains in-depth information about the four sections which make up a title sheet.
Reference Materials includes quick-reference information such as glossaries, creditor codes, and example deeds.
Some tips for guessing
Once you've guessed what section of the manual you'll find the information, click the link on the front page to go to a list of all the topics it covers. Scroll though the list to find the most likely page. For example:
- Information about the proprietorship section of the title sheet can be found in the Subject Index section
- Instructions for mapping air space can be found in the Further Guidance section
- Quality checklists are found under Quick Reference.
How to be sure you've found the correct page
Some pages have a Table of Contents. Read though it to look for the specific information you're looking for. Or if there's no table of contents, use CTRL-F to search for specific words. You can read more about using CTRL-F here.
