Using Two Computers On RPA BPS Site

[Frank-the-Wool]

I have always used two computers when completing the BPS claim.
One for the land use and one to view parcels. However when I tried to do this today it told me that I could only log in on one which makes the whole thing far more difficult as you have to switch between Land and Land use all the time.

Anyone know of a way around this?

Use two screens / tabs, land use on one maps on the other.

If you're lucky there might be two monitor sockets on one of your machines.

True, you can separate the tabs and have one on one side of the screen and one on the other, that works. Otherwise Alt+Tab and flick between is the only way.

I used to do the same and was annoyed that I couldn’t do it this year.
Slowed the job down, no end!
I suppose if two or more people are registered as owner/agent for you land you could open up two computers, each using a different name and PIN number.

I also always had the maps on one tab and land use on another. Essential to make any progress. Couldn't do it this time initially, but depending on which order I opened them got it eventually (open 2nd one whilst holding ctrl).

This is just showing off. Bit like playing 2 keyboards at the same time in an early 80's band........

I noticed this in februarry when inputting cropping
its a right pain now as they only allow one login at a time
I now do a PDF of the claim and look at that on the ipad while checking the claim on the desk top
I have names for my fields that were In putted on the original bps system before it was down graded
always struggle with their field numbers can never remember which field the number refers to

No it does work. Just ignore the RPA message. Click Yes and then open another tab and login to the RPA site. Then as before both tabs will work. I use Land Update and View Land same time. Been working my way through BPS last couple weeks several more to do What I am finding though is system will not operate lad section around 11.30pm every evening. So I presume it is updating at that time.

No two logins do work. see my other post

Have to confess - a colleague got going on BPS before me and found out. But we still haven't had a fix to the Countryside Stewardship claim application forms that do not add up the totals in the rotational option section. I have half a dozen to complete. Next week must find out what have to do. Hey ho.

Totally off topic, but my father used to play the church organ - 3 keyboards plus the pedals (so technically a fourth keyboard for his feet) plus rows of stops either side of the keyboards to change the pipes and therefore the sound.

It was amazing to watch him - hands and feet doing this incredible “dance” as he played.

It looked very similar to this:
