A few new registry improvements to tell you about

Where have documents been filed in the past 14 days?

Now you don't have to guess where recent documents were filed in an assessment's public registry! Just visit the project page for that assessment by clicking on the project name under the search engine. There you will see in bold where documents in the past 14 days have been filed.

More information about the documents on the registry!

If you use the project pages to navigate through the registry you will find the website now shows the originator, public registry number and document date for that entry in addition to the other data we have always provided. The document date is a new field so documents filed prior to the update won't have any data. However future documents will.

Future updates

Over the coming month you can expect to see a new look and organization to both our home page and the public registry. Included will be a new search engine for the registry and a few other nifty new features. Stay tuned!

Feel free to send us your feedback to: Renita Jenkins, Head of Communications
