Filter your search
-
Once a download category has been selected, you can view: * ‘all downloads’ available * ‘new downloads’ * ‘previously viewed downloads’
-
You can search: * by ‘title number’ * by ‘customer reference’
A search by ‘customer reference’ will show all downloads which contain the text entered in the search field, eg a search against ‘LAN’ will show downloads with references such as ‘LAN/123’, ‘abc/alan’ and ‘Conv/LandReg’. A search against a user’s initials will show all their PDF downloads, if they used them in their references.
