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:

Search &
Options Panel

Data Table  (attributes of the active layer)

Map & Toolbars

Workspaces,
Layers &
Bookmarks

Panel	Position	What It Does
Search & Options (left)	West	Search for addresses and locations. May also contain extra tools provided by your deployment.
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, save bookmarks, and manage georeferenced images.

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.
