| LEGEND
|
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.
|
| OV 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.
|
| Zoom |
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.
|
| Pan |
The Pan buttons allow you to
pan the map a specified direction.
|
| Identify
|
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.
|
| Measure
|
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).
|
| Query
|
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.
|
| Search
|
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.
|
| Clear
|
The Clear Selection button
clears the currently selected features and any output
from the Measure tool.
|
| Address
|
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.

| Print
|
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.
