2 INTRODUCTION TO LANDONLINE
2.1 Overview
Landonline is an electronic system which holds and manages land information in a national
database. The database is the official, authoritative, and in the case of titles, the state
guaranteed record.
Landonline allows comprehensive searching of the database.
The rest of this chapter:
•
•
broadly describes the two types of searches you can perform in Landonline; and
explains how to get started in Landonline.
Landonline also allows for remote digital lodgement for conveyancers and surveyors and
electronic registration of e-dealings.
•
•
An e-dealing is a conveyancing transaction electronically prepared and signed. When submitted,

2.2 Getting started in Landonline
You connect to Landonline via the Landonline website. Once you have logged on to the
Internet, you pass through security to gain access to a Citrix server.
You are connected to Landonline without requiring the Landonline software to be installed
on your computer. Landonline appears as if it runs on your PC when, in reality, it runs on a
LINZ server. The main benefit of this is to reduce the quantity of data sent between your
PC and the Landonline server via the Internet.
To maintain your security and that of your clients, you must have a Landonline digital
certificate. Your digital certificate is an electronic identifier, unique to you, created and
stored on your computer. Your digital certificate permits you to log on to Landonline. For
further information about digital certificates refer to the Landonline website,
www.Landonline.govt.nz.
During Logon you may be prompted to select:
•
•
your firm, if you perform work for more than one firm; and
a licence, if the firm you are working for has more than one type of Landonline licence.
Licences are issued to firms by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). These enable
users in a firm to perform pre-determined tasks in Landonline. Your firm’s System
Manager can set a default licence for you. Once set, this default licence will display every
time you log on. You have the option to select a different licence if another one is available
to you.
Once you select a licence, that licence cannot be used by another user in the firm until you
log off Landonline.

The tasks required to get started in Landonline are:

4.2.2 Searches Tree
The Searches tree is where information you have searched for is listed. It displays a
standard list of folders:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Titles
Surveys
Parcels
Marks/Nodes
Vectors
Supporting Documents.
You only see information in these folders after you have searched for it and added it to the
Searches tree. For example, a survey item and its components are added to the survey
folder on the tree. You expand the tree to find the information you require to view or print.
The view displays in the viewing area and depends on the item selected in the Searches
tree.
4.2.3 Viewing area
The viewing area displays information and images for items selected in the Searches tree.
There are several different views:
•
•
•
Structured Text View
Image View
Spatial View.
4.2.3.1 Structured Text View
A Structured Text View contains details of the selected item displayed in a report form. If
the item you select has an Image View as well as a Structured Text View, two tabs display
in the Searches viewing area.

4.2.3.2 Image View
An Image View is the scanned image of an item in Landonline (eg survey, certificate of
title). The image displays in the viewing area of the Searches screen. Some items you
select from the tree have a Structured Text View tab and an Image View tab.
4.2.3.3 Spatial View
A Spatial View is only available for a Survey view or Parcel view of surveys. This view is
similar to the Spatial Window except you view the survey or parcel in isolation. There are
also a limited number of layers that display and functions you can perform.
Not all surveys have a Survey view or Parcel view. Survey conversion may have created
partial survey views only. Since the beginning of Landonline, all surveys Approved as to
Survey have a survey view and parcel view.

4.4.1 Incurring fees in Searches
There are two types of fee structures for searching:
•
•
Title fees
Survey fees.
When you search for an item that attracts a fee, Landonline checks your credit before
displaying the item. If there is not enough credit Landonline displays a message and does
not display the item.
You are only charged once for viewing an item during the current session.
There is no fee charged for using the Spatial Window.
If you request a product to be sent by email, you are not charged a fee until LINZ sends the
package to you. See 5.17 Request a product to be sent by email.
4.4.1.1 Title fees for searching
Table 4-1 lists title items available from Searches for which you are charged a fee. There
is no charge to view and print the summary information for a pending, current or historic

4.5.2 Search criteria
Use search criteria to help you narrow your search and return the result you want.
•
•
The more search criteria you can provide the more likely you are to get the desired result.
Enter less search criteria if you do not get the required results. This may return a larger set of
results.
4.5.3 Wildcards
In many of the Search Criteria fields you can use wildcards to help you search.
A wildcard is a symbol you type as part of your search criteria entry. You use wildcards
when you don’t know the exact details to search on. For example, you know a user’s
family name is Johnson or Johnston, but you are uncertain which spelling is correct. In this
instance you might type Johns*.
There are two wildcard symbols you can use in Landonline:
•
•
* (asterisk) – this completes a search entry
? (question mark) – this is used as a placeholder in a search entry.
These symbols may be used together or separately. Table 4-6 shows how wildcards may
be used.
Type this….
Sample search results
John*
John, Johns, Johnson, Johnston, Johnstone, etc
Sm?th
Br?a*
Smith, Smyth
Breaden, Brian, Bryan, Broad, Broadmore, etc
Table 4-6 Examples of wildcard use in search criteria
Tips for using wildcards effectively:
•
•
You must prefix the first wildcard symbol used in a field with at least two letters or numbers.
For exceptions to this rule in the Search Title screen, see topic 4.5.3.1 Additional wildcard
options – name fields and topic 4.5.3.2 Additional wildcard options – Legal Description
field.
Broad use of wildcards can take some time to return results. Refine your search as much as
possible.
4.5.3.1 Additional wildcard options – name fields
In the Search Title screen you can also use a wildcard in the first or second position in the
Given Names, Owners Family Name and Corporate Name fields.
e-search User Guide – v3.11.doc
Page 39 of 187
Commercial in Confidence
A wildcard used in the first or second position of a field must be followed by at least four
characters, except when used in the Given Name(s) field. In the Given Name(s) field, a
wildcard can be used on its own or with one other character.
LINZ recommends that you use at least one other search criteria wherever possible when
using wildcards. This will refine your search and reduce any impact on performance.
Table 4-7 shows how wildcards may be used in the name fields.
Type this….
Sample search results
M*cDonald
S?mons*
Macdonald, MacDonald, McDonald.
Symons, Simons, Simonson.
anything with 'trust' in the name, eg First National Trust, Trustees Executors Ltd, Licensing Trust
Ltd, etc.
anything ending with 'security', eg Better Security, Main Street Security, etc
*trust*
*security
Table 4-7 Examples of additional wildcard use for name fields
4.5.3.2 Additional wildcard options – Legal Description field
In the Search Title screen you can use wildcards in any position in the Legal Description
field.
You can also use abbreviations for a plan type without having to use wildcards. These
abbreviations are explained in Table 4-8.
Plan Type Abbreviation
Full plan name returned to the Search Results area
DP
Deposited Plan
DPS
ML
Deposited Plan South Auckland
Maori Land Plan
SD
SO
Survey District Plan

Table 4-8 Plan Type Abbreviations to use in the Legal Description field
Table 4-9 shows how wildcards can be used in the Legal Description field. There must be
at least three characters (including spaces) between each wildcard used.
Type this….
Sample search results
Unit * DP 12345
* DP 89101
All titles for all Units associated with Deposited Plan 123456.
All titles for Deposited Plan DP89101.

District.
Table 4-9 Examples of additional wildcard use for the Legal Description field
There are limitations on the information you can use to search using wildcards in the Legal
Description field. You cannot:
•
•
•
use a Parcel Type (eg Lot, Section, Unit, etc) without a Plan Type (eg DP, SD, etc) and Plan
Number,
use a Plan Type (eg DP, DPS, ML, etc) without a Plan Number,
use ? (question mark) to replace a number in a Plan Number.

There is no direct relationship between a title and an address (ie Landonline doesn't
store a street address for each title).
When you use a street address to search for a parcel it relates to a specific location
which may not be directly related to the parcel. Therefore, if a street address applies
to adjoining parcels, the adjoining parcels are not necessarily retrieved in your
search.
A parcel can also have more than one address. The result may be dependant on
whether the appellation for the parcel is of a General, Maori or Other type of
appellation.

6 SPATIAL SEARCHING
6.1 Overview
Landonline allows you to search for information spatially. Spatial (or graphical)
information consists of layers of information. An example of categories of layers are:
•
•
•
parcels
marks
vectors.
Landonline displays spatial information to allow you to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
view objects and features in a spatial context
search for objects and features
switch layers of spatial data off and on
navigate
extract and print
select an individual object or group of objects
add objects to the Searches tree.
This chapter explains how to search spatially using the Spatial Window and the Spatial
Searches screen. Specifically it describes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the elements of the Spatial Window
how to use the Spatial Window to search for spatial information

While labels are selected for display they may not be visible on screen. This can be because the
layer relating to the label is not visible, or the current scale for the screen is outside the display
scale for the label. The viewing scale for labels can differ to its associated layer.
6.2.7 Viewing area
The viewing area of the Spatial Window displays spatial information.
6.2.7.1 View scales for the Spatial Window
Layers and labels have predefined scales that determine the scale at which they turn on and
off when displayed in the Spatial Window. This feature is to filter information for clarity.
For example, parcel boundaries are not displaying with the parcel layer on. You will have
the current scale for the Spatial Window outside the viewing range for the layer or label.
When you open the Spatial Window it defaults to a set of viewing scales known as the
Urban View.
To select a viewing scale, in the Spatial Window:
1. Select Map View | View Scale | and one of the following options:
• Urban View: This is the default scale and it differs for each layer.
• Rural View: Displays each layer at a default scale of 45,000.

6.8.1 Printer troubleshooting
When printing a spatial image to scale using Windows 95, sometimes the images print with
labels missing (eg road labels and appellation labels). This is due to the way 'Windows 95'
printer drivers operate and the fonts loaded on the printer.
This usually happens when printers with fonts loaded take control of the font printing.
When the printer tries to print labels that have been spun (ie road names) or dynamically
sized (ie appellations), the printer cannot print them using the printer's loaded fonts so it
does nothing.
e-search User Guide – v3.11.doc
Commercial in Confidence

You can correct this printing problem by changing your printer settings. See topic 6.8.2
Temporarily change your printer settings.
This problem will not occur when printing from Windows NT, or if the font the mapping
routine uses has been loaded in your printer.
You should only change the printer settings when printing spatial images, and only if
required.
6.8.2 Temporarily change your printer settings
If the spatial image you printed from the Spatial Window does not contain all the labels or
appellations, you can temporarily change the printer settings.

6.12 About extracting survey data
You extract existing data from Landonline using the Survey Data Extraction screen.
You can extract existing data from one or more surveys by:
e-search User Guide – v3.11.doc
Commercial in Confidence
Page 137 of
187
•
•
•
entering survey numbers directly into the Survey Data Extraction screen
selecting survey numbers in the Spatial Window
defining an area of interest in the Spatial Window.
There are no fees charged for data extraction.
Note: Once you complete your first survey data extract, Landonline uses the options you
selected as defaults for the next time you extract data.
Extract by Surveys
Extracting by survey number is useful when the survey vectors and parcels cover a large
area. This method of extraction may include the trig vector and trig mark information in
the XML file. See section 6.13.2 Extract by survey number.
When you extract by survey number, the XML file contains all information for the survey
at the time of deposit or approval. If you extract more than one survey at a time, some
vectors can be in the XML file more than once. This is because the vector was used by
more than one of the surveys extracted. In this instance, the vector information may differ.
You will need to determine which vector is the current one as held by Landonline.
The Spatial Window does not need to be open to use this method. If the Spatial Window is
open, you can spatially select referenced labels then open the Survey Data Extract screen
and click
to add the survey(s). See section 6.13.3 Select a survey to extract
from in the Spatial Window.
Extract by Area of Interest
When you extract by Area of Interest you must use the Spatial Window. Only vectors,
marks and parcels that fall wholly within the area defined will be extracted. The benefit of
using this method is you will get the current vector and mark information for the surveys in
the area defined and this information will not be repeated. See section 6.13.4 Extract by
area of interest.
6.12.1 Data extract options
The maximum size for a survey extract file is 2mb. Other restrictions are:
•
•
Extract by Surveys – up to a maximum of 20 surveys (provided the size of the extract file is
within 2mb).
Extract by Area of Interest – up to a maximum of 20,000 objects (provided the size of the
extract file is within 2mb).

6.12.2 Coordinates
Landonline holds an NZGD 2000 coordinate for every mark recorded in the database.
When you extract data from Landonline, you can choose to transform the coordinates into
another coordinate system. This transformation doesn't modify details of the survey vectors
extracted. These transformations are automatically performed when you select a coordinate
system in the Extract Coord System field of the Survey Data Extraction screen.
You cannot transform coordinates to Old Cadastral Datum because transformations
between NZGD 2000 and Old Cadastral Datum are not available.
6.12.3 Delivery Options
Landonline delivers a file to you in XML format. XML is the standard format used in
Landonline to transfer survey data. There are restrictions on the size of file you can
download.
If you select Now as your delivery option, the file starts downloading once the information
is extracted from Landonline. You cannot perform other functions in Landonline until the
file has finished downloading.
If you request the XML file via Online Message or email, Landonline processes your
request in a batch and delivers it once the batch is complete.
