INTRODUCTION
Land Survey Data Management System (LSDMS) is an application system used for
capturing survey data and presents it spatially to verify its accuracy. The system shall be
managed by the Regional Land Management Service of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources.
This LSDMS Manual helps the user to efficiently utilize the system.
LAUNCHING THE APPLICATION
Double click the LSDMS application icon
in the computer desktop or from the
Start button found usually at the lower left of the computer screen. The LSDMS Login
window will appear (Figure 1) and will ask for a user name and password.

Figure 1
If the login returns an error message like that of Figure 2a, it means that the user needs
to provide valid username and password. Ask the System Administrator for details on
how to get an account.
If the login returns an error message like that of Figure 2b, click the Show Option link
on the lower left portion of the dialog box. It will display an extended dialog box (Figure
3) and will ask for additional information on Database Server. The database Server is
the computer name or the IP Address of the Server. Ask the System Administrator for
details of server setup\location.
Click the
button to continue. Successful login will display the LSDMS main
window (Figure 4).

This window lists the filenames which have been evaluated by the Import Tool and it
reports the following:
1) the number of lots evaluated per file
2) the number of lots for review
3) the number of valid lots and,
4) the number of lots imported to the LSDMS.
The for Review column suggests that the files which have been imported may have
incorrect data and could be corrected either by using the editing facility of the LSDMS or
by re-importing edited Excel template. Common errors are a) empty lot no, CAD survey
no, case no, section ID, and declared area; b) municipality or barangay cannot be found
in Philippine Standard Geographic Code library which the system is using; c)
typographical error in survey date; d) error in coordinates usually typographical or no
data. The Valid column reports the number of records which has complete details
(particularly with Case No and Section ID) and followed the standards or guidelines in
filling-out the Lot Data Excel template.

Figure 60 shows the details of the errors to be reviewed for each record which have
