Since Landonline e-survey was developed, LINZ has regularly published information and updates to help surveyors make the most of the system.
This section includes Tips and Hints which span a wide range of topics of interest to surveyors. These are being added to each month, and have been ordered alphabetically to form a full index to make them easy to scan through.
To help you use e-survey as effectively and efficiently as possible, we have created three new categories of information:
- e-survey Technical Best Practice includes tips, hints and links to articles and web pages to help users make the most of e-survey's functionality
- Survey Integration Best Practice has tips, hints and links to articles and web pages focused on how to best get the various survey types into e-survey
- Surveying information contains more general surveying and related topics that users need to stay aware of, such as survey rules updates, rulings etc.
Note: Items have been flagged in each of these sections to indicate their usefulness to (variously) new users, experienced users, and advanced users of e-survey.
To assist you when using e-survey, use the Survey Plan examples for reference.
