  6. Using individual plots

  To give each plot an individual record under the site master or sub plot, individual plots can be created

  This is recommended in the following situations:

  • for small to medium sites where creating individual plots is manageable

  • when a plot currently within a site master or sub plot becomes reserved or under offer

  From the Development and Land Sites screen:

  • Select the record that is to be split into individual plots and click Manage Units
    This could be the site master or a sub plot

    Once individual plots are created, they can be marked as reserved, under offer etc.
