Create Land Files

StackDX synchronizes nightly with your land management system (ie. CS Land, LandRite) adding any land file updates to our system. In some cases you may need to upload documents to StackDX before the land file is present. For these situations, you can manually create the land file in StackDX. Once the land file has been added in the land system the next sync will automatically link any matching land file numbers. This guide will show you how to manually create new land files in StackDX.

Note: Users require the ‘Land Write’ permissions to create new land files.

Create a new land file by first clicking on the dropdown menu in the top right corner of the Land Files Grid page. Then click Create New to enter the land file details.

Summary of the details that can be provided when creating a new land file:

  1. Owner BA – If your company has multiple Business Associate (BA) name they will appear in the dropdown. *This field is required.

  2. File Type – Select a File Type from the list of items. *This field is required.

The available file types to choose are Contract, Crossing, Easement, Forestry, Import, Joint Venture, Mineral, Road Use, Surface and Unit.

After you are done entering the Land File details click Save. The Land File will now be available in StackDX for you to view and upload your documents.

The land file will display on the Land Files Grid showing that it is currently NOT in the land system.
