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
Search & Options	Left	Address search and optional plugin tools (weather, diagrams, etc.)
Data Table	Top	View and edit attribute data for the active layer
Map	Centre	Interactive map with toolbars for navigation, measurement, and analysis
Workspaces & Layers	Right	Manage workspaces, layers, and bookmarks

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

The Data Table and Workspaces & Layers panels can be undocked into floating dialogs by clicking their undock button (). Undocked dialogs are resizable, draggable, and can be maximised to full screen.

Top Toolbar

The top toolbar 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 shows:

Item	Description
Snapshot	Capture the current map view as a PNG image
Geolocation	Track your GPS position on the map
Zoom to Coordinates	Enter specific coordinates to navigate to
Latitude / Longitude	Real-time cursor position on the map
Scale	Current map scale and zoom level
Units	Metric or Imperial measurement system
