Understanding the Interface

The application uses a four-panel layout that gives you simultaneous access to search tools, the map, layer data, and workspace management.

Layout Overview

The Four Panels

	Panel	Position	Purpose
1	Search & Options	West / Left	Search for addresses and places, plus any extra tools your deployment provides
2	Data Table	North / Top	View and edit attribute data for the active layer
3	Map	Centre	Interactive map with toolbars for navigation, measurement, and analysis
4	Workspaces & Layers	East / Right	Manage workspaces, layers, bookmarks, and georeferenced images

Resizing Panels

All panels are separated by drag handles (gutters). Drag a gutter to resize adjacent panels.

Collapsing Panels

Each panel can be collapsed by clicking the caret icon in its header, or by dragging its gutter all the way to the edge. When collapsed on desktop, a thin strip with a rotated label shows what panel is hidden — click it to expand again.

Undocking Panels

Most panel tabs — the Data Table, Workspaces & Layers, Bookmarks, Search, and others — can be undocked into floating dialogs by clicking their undock button (). Undocked dialogs are resizable, draggable, and can be maximised to full screen. Click the dock button on the dialog to return the panel to its place.

Top Navigation Bar

The bar at the very top of the screen is always available, on the dashboard and inside the application:

Element	Description
Menu ()	Opens the navigation sidebar with links to the areas you have access to
Logo	Your service provider's logo
Help	Help resources and documentation
Theme toggle (/)	Switch between the Light and Dark theme
Your avatar / name	Opens the Profile Options panel — switch accounts, open your profile, or sign out
Status light	A small dot showing the connection to the server — green means connected

Some deployments add more items, such as a quick language selector.

Top Toolbar

The top toolbar of the map panel contains all the map interaction tools: pointer, measurement, printing, export, and more. These are covered in detail in the Map Tools section.

Bottom Toolbar

The bottom toolbar provides snapshot function, your Geolocation and zoom to Coordinates, Latitude / Longitude, current scale and zoom level and whether in metric or imperial units. These are covered in detail in the Map Tools section.
