DeedTrail Helper

Reads deeds on RECORDhub for your DeedTrail dashboard, in your own signed-in browser window, one document at a time.

DeedTrail Helper works with DeedTrail, a deed-research dashboard for land surveyors. It is only useful to a firm that has a DeedTrail dashboard. Land records sit behind your own sign-in on RECORDhub, so a dashboard on a server cannot open them. Your browser can. When you press "Read on RECORDhub" on a job in your dashboard, the helper opens RECORDhub in a window you can watch, looks up each deed on that job by volume and page, opens it in RECORDhub's viewer, and hands the pages to your dashboard, which fills in the pull sheet: who conveyed to whom, when, the earlier deed it cites, the maps it refers to. What it does - Looks up one document at a time, at the pace you would. - Finds filed maps in the index and links to them. - Can record the steps of one purchase you make by hand, so DeedTrail can learn how your town's site sells a copy. It records page layout and what you click, never what you type. What it does not do - It does not sign in for you. You sign in to RECORDhub yourself, and the helper never sees a password. - It does not buy or download anything. - It does not work on any site other than your DeedTrail dashboard and recordhub.cottsystems.com. - It does not keep the pages it looks at. They are read once and dropped. You need a DeedTrail dashboard and your own RECORDhub account. Using the helper on a RECORDhub account is the account holder's decision under RECORDhub's terms.
