What the selected record shows. Calculated closing funds are 164,000 LKR. The recorded closing observation is 163,500 LKR; recorded minus calculated is -500 LKR. Check the component records before explaining that difference.

Next step. Reconcile closing balance. Prepare balance review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.

An unexplained balance does not establish a debt, waiver or irregularity.

Inputs, method and sources
Supplied inputValueUnit
Opening rent receivable balance160,000LKR
New assessed rent and documented additions48,000LKR
Recorded rent collections35,000LKR
Supported adjustments reducing receivables9,000LKR
Independently recorded closing receivables163,500LKR

Closing receivables = opening receivables + new assessments − collections − supported reducing adjustments. Residual = independently recorded closing balance − calculated balance.

Use the same physical boundary, period and units. A residual is a reconciliation issue, not automatically a measured loss. This demonstration does not assess rent, authorize an adjustment or write off a debt.

Other required records: Lease; assessed rent; payments; adjustments; due dates; period; currency.

A difference requires source checks before determining non-compliance.

Difference — fictional 2025 examples
Inputs, method and sources
Supplied inputValueUnit
Allocated hectares for the stated approved purpose100ha
Matching hectares with evidence of that same use90ha

Observed value minus Planned value. Relative change = 100 × difference / Planned value when the earlier value is positive.

A difference prompts evidence review. It does not cancel a permit, establish a breach or determine rights.

Other required records: Allocation purpose; actual use; inspection date; outputs; conditions; history.

Compare case-processing workload with usable staff time.

What the selected record shows. Usable capacity minus demand: -15 staff hours. Review capacity shortfall.

Next step. Review capacity shortfall. Prepare capacity review in the prototype creates a visible, downloadable draft. It is unassigned and not sent.

Capacity does not establish competence, appointment authority or case priority.

Inputs, method and sources
Supplied inputValueUnit
Demand in the selected period150staff hours
Rated capacity for that period180staff hours
Unavailable or restricted capacity45staff hours

Usable capacity = rated capacity − documented unavailable capacity. Surplus/shortfall = usable − matching demand.

Match peak/average basis, time window, skill, staffing, accessibility and other binding constraints. One aggregate capacity does not override a safety constraint.

Other required records: Case backlog; complexity; handling time; staff availability; service deadlines.

5. Documents and images

Your institution has its own document and image library. Use the same library for reports, photos and other evidence.

Land Commissioner General's Department Documents and images prototype screen
Land Commissioner General's Department. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Documents and images. Check the institution name.
  2. Use All files, Documents or Images to find a file. Open its preview or download the original.
  3. Use a sample file to try Add file. Private is the starting choice. Public needs a source, permission to share and review.
  4. Use Access preview to try the institution reviewer and Public visitor views.

Files added in the prototype stay in this browser. Public sharing is an access preview. Existing public reference links already work online.

What your institution needs to confirm

6. Data structure management

Data structure keeps the existing source tree, records, charts and map. Manage structure adds a place to propose changes to definitions.

Land Commissioner General's Department Data structure management prototype screen
Land Commissioner General's Department. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open Data structure and choose Manage structure.
  2. Use Add base domain for a main information area. Add inside creates a subject area, a nested subject, an entity type or a field under the right parent.
  3. Give the definition a clear name, code and meaning. Reuse an existing definition when the meaning is the same.
  4. For a field, check the data type, unit, required value, limits and missing-value rule. Save a Draft, then try the separate reviewer view.

An entity type means a kind of thing or event, such as a reservoir or an inspection. Drafts stay in this browser. A demo approval does not change real definitions, data, chart links or sharing rights.

7. Users and access

User management shows example profiles for each institution. People and Roles and access let you review the proposed account screens.

Land Commissioner General's Department Users and access prototype screen
Land Commissioner General's Department. Prototype screen. Select the image to enlarge it.

What you can try

  1. Open User management and choose the institution. The rows are examples, not a list of your staff.
  2. Use View access to check a role. An administrator title alone does not give access to Private files.
  3. Try Preview invitation or Preview access change. Check the role, start date, optional end date and reason.
  4. Review the example permissions and tell us which job roles should receive each one.

These are interface previews only. They create no account, send no email and change no access. Use example details in the preview. Institution verification does not grant a real permission.

8. Can you share data regularly?

We currently use public data and published reports where available. Please confirm whether your institution can provide data directly, so we can avoid retyping or reading figures from PDFs.

Do not enter passwords, access keys or private account details.
