The Legend/Layer List button
toggles between the map legend and the layer
list. The default is the Layer List, which is shown in the upper
right-hand corner of the above screenshot. The Layer List allows you to
select which map layers are visible at any given time. It also allows
you to select the active layer, which is required for feature selection and
identification. Only one layer can be active at any given time.
When making any modifications to the Layer List, click the Refresh Map button
to draw the updated map.

|
The Overview Map On/Off button
allows you to toggle the overview map.
The default is to display the overview map. This map shows you the
portion of the map you are currently viewing relative to the full extent of
the map. It also allows you to quickly move around the map by clicking
areas inside the overview map window.
|
|
The Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons
allow you to change the map extent. Zoom to Full
Extent allows you to see the full extent of the map. Zoom to Active
Layer to see the extent of the currently active layer
(which is selected in the Layer List).
Zoom to Previous Extent
returns you to your previous zoom level.
|
|
The five Pan buttons allow you to pan the map a specified direction.
|
|
The Identify button allows you to identify attributes of a feature.
To use it, first make active the layer that contains the feature you want to
identify. (For example, if you want to identify a parcel, you need to
make the Parcel layer active.) Click the Identify button, then click on
the feature you want to identify. The attributes of the feature will
appear in the bottom frame. If there are scrollbars in this window, you
may need to use them to see the desired information.
|
|
The Measure button allows you to measure distances on the map. To use
it, first click the Measure button. Then click your starting point on
the map. Move the mouse pointer to the endpoint and click the mouse
button again. This will show you the distance on the map in whatever
units you have selected (see Set Units).
|
|
The Set Units button allows you to select the units of measurement on the
map. This affects the map scale and the Measure tool.
|
|
The Query Builder queries features based on their attribute values.
Numeric or text are acceptable search strings.
You must use single quotes around values that are text strings.
|
|
The Search Tool is enabled on your viewer if the MapService
has been created with stored queries.
Once a stored query has been created, the Search tool allows the user to type only a value to
search for, rather than a full query expression.
|
|
The Clear Selection button
clears the currently selected features and any
output from the Measure tool.
|
|
The Locate Address button
allows you to locate an address or an
intersection on the map. To use it, click the Locate Address
button. Type in the name of the address (street number and name, i.e. 45
E Broad) or the two street names for intersection location (i.e. E Spring in
line 1 and Willow Ave in line 2), then click the Locate button. The
results of your search will appear in order of relevancy in the bottom
frame. Click the underlined number of the match to zoom in on the
location.

The Print button allows you to generate a full-page map in another browser
window suitable for printing. To use it, click the Print button. A
new browser window will appear with the full-page map inside. Then, from
the new browser window, click File -> Print.
