2.1 Prefix Field

The prefix field should always contain the word "Subjects". In addition, for 2012 Act titles, the prefix field should always contain the cadastral unit number of the plot registered within that title sheet. Template prefix entries are available in a picklist and should be used whenever possible to ensure consistency.

The rest of the information contained in the prefix field should relate to that part of the description of the subjects which is not indexable.

No sub-building, house number or house name/building name should ever be input into the prefix field (except with lock-up garages - see section 2.3).

Example 2.1.1

Example 2.1.2

Ground lying to the north of the road between Gullane and North Berwick

The Link Text "to" needs to be typed in manually as only "and" is auto-populated into this field if it is left blank (in instances where there is more than one gazetteer entry).
