Application Guide
When you click an application tile on the dashboard, the map application opens. This is where you do most of your work — viewing layers on the map, querying data, editing records, and using spatial tools.
Interface Overview
The application uses a four-panel layout with resizable, collapsible panels:
| Panel | Position | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Search & Options (left) | West | Search for addresses and locations. May also contain plugin tools. |
| Data Table (top) | North | View and edit the attribute data for the currently active layer. |
| Map (centre) | Centre | The interactive map with toolbars for navigation, measurement, printing, and more. |
| Workspaces & Layers (right) | East | Manage workspaces, control layers, and save bookmarks. |
All panels can be resized by dragging the gutter handles between them, and collapsed by clicking the caret in a panel header. The Data Table and Workspaces & Layers panels can also be undocked into floating, resizable dialogs.
