Searching facilities for agents
5 March 2012
Following the release of IPONZ’s new system a variety of feedback has been received on the search facilities provided. Reception from members of the public has been positive, with the search facilities provided closer to what they would expect from other websites or public services than was previously the case.
A number of agents have given feedback to IPONZ that the functionality in the new search system has removed features which they previously relied upon for their clearance search business. The predominant function of IPONZs online search is to meet legislative requirements and to provide a public access search that can be used easily by all applicants whether first timers or experienced professionals.
IPONZ recognises that a number of agents are having difficulties with this transition and has decided to implement some features to help those agents. Any further changes requested will be reviewed in line with IPONZ strategy.
The following alterations, as prioritised from agent feedback, will be made over the next month:
Updates to results fields to show owner and class, by default. Re-arrange search results to have Image and Title together. | 13 March 2012 |
Allow larger number of search results to be shown on the screen at one time. | 20 March 2012 |
Allow user to limit search results exported by selecting them. | 27 March 2012 |
