Has the format of the RPM been changed?

The wiki has been organized into the same format as the hard copy version in the binder, with the exception that Tab 1 is now called Section 1 and so on.


Do I have to Log in to use the RPM?

No you don’t, the Log in link is for authorized editors only. Access to use the RPM is unrestricted.


What is RoofStar?

RoofStar is the new brand name for the RGC Guarantee Program. It was launched at the 2011 Annual General Meeting in response to outcomes from the RCABC Strategic Planning session at which the members in attendance strongly advocated for a new name and increased marketing efforts aimed to build the guarantee program.


How do I search the RPM wiki?

Enter a word, a phrase or a section number into the search window and all of the sections these words appear in are listed on the page, along with the sentence or paragraph associated with the words.

When you are on a page, hit Ctrl F to open a Find window: enter the word or phrase you are looking for and these will automatically be highlighted. Use the Previous and Next buttons to scroll through the page. Use the Options button to match whole words and case.


What is the View History tab for?

When you click on the View History tab, the page will display a list of the changes made on the page or in the section you are viewing.

Get more information about the changes by clicking on the radio button beside the changed item, then click on "Compare Selected Revisions" and the exact wording changes will be displayed.


Can I print from the Wiki?

Click on the PDF tab at the top of your screen. This will create a PDF of the whole section that you are currently viewing. If you would like to print just a subsection or a paragraph, highlight the subsection or paragraph, and copy and paste your selection into a Word document.


Can I access the RPM on my iPhone or iPad?

Yes, the wiki software used to create the RPM allows the entire manual to be viewed on any portable device with a web connection. The page layouts and tables automatically adjust for the device you are using.


What about updates?

Updates will be ongoing whenever required and specifically after the Technical Committee meetings in March and September.
