Parish Online News - YouTube Live Questions

Following the YouTube Live Training session, we had requests to write the answers to the questions asked during it, these can be found here:

 


YouTube Q&A:

I’m using Parish Online a lot for responding to planning applications, is it possible to have annotation layers, where they are labelled for each planning application?

 

Is there a way to avoid paying £3 to Land Registry? Parish Online only provides Cadastral Numbers I think - not owner ID

 

Is there any data available for protected species sightings - would be helpful for planning applications!

 

I'd like to know how to place the viewpoint icons so that they point in the correct direction. At the moment I can only select one icon for a generic *viewpoint* rather than a specific one

Is it possible to attend on site with say an iPad or other device, and plot directly into Parish Online for say, a bench and it knows where you are using GPS rather than guesstimating back in the office?

 

​Can you blank out areas outside of the Parish of interest? And, I want to draw a Neighbourhood Plan boundary that corresponds to the parish boundary. Is there a quick way of doing this, rather than tracing by hand?

 

Can you add your own layers or are they present (pre-set?)?

 

​Can you have both a public view and an operational view?

 

Do you have an app so that you can take pictures and add assets on the go?

 

Is there a limit to how many comments and documents you can upload for each asset?

 

​If a Council subscribes, what training is available?

 

​What is the link between Parish Online and Pear Technologies? Do we need both?

 

I would like to plot where the replies to my recent survey came from without giving away individual addresses. How could I do that?

 

Is it possible to add Rods, as our allotments are measured in that way?

 

Are you going to say anything about mapping a cemetery?

 

Can you download the asset register to excel?

 

​I don't have the 'Parish Layers' section in my left-hand menu... Do you need to set this up for me?
