The map dashboard provides various ways to select GIS objects or features on the map.(See Select single and multiple GIS objects on a map for more information.) After selecting multiple GIS objects on the map, the Contents panel lists related parcels, assets, and GIS objects that are associated with the selected GIS objects on the map.
Example screen of contents panel:
The Contents panel has three available tabs:
- Advanced search tab — Allows you to locate objects (such as addresses, assets, parcels, inspections, records, and others) and GIS features. The results are listed on the Results tab.
- GIS objects tab — Lists the GIS objects or features that are selected on the map. The GIS objects are listed by the map layer they belong to (such as, Parcels, Records, and others). As items are selected or deselected from the map, the lists of related parcels, assets, and records refresh on the Results tab.
- Results tab — Lists the parcels, assets, and transactional records that are associated with the selected GIS objects on the map. This tab is refreshed when you select or deselect items on the GIS objects tab or when you select more objects on the map.
Notes:
-
Search results on the map dashboard are accumulated. Recent search results are appended to the existing search results and can be selected.
-
You can hover your cursor on an item listed in the tabs to highlight it on the map.
-
You can also use the Actions menu to perform various actions on the listed items.
When you select multiple objects on the Map dashboard, a panel displays listing the selected objects, grouped by type. You can select a type to see a detailed list of objects of that type, and you can select an object to see details about that object.
