This tool allows you to search and toggle layers
*This help guide may vary to your experience as elements can be configured, added or removed by the page owner.
To search layers by attributes, you need to put any value from a layer's metadata and click the search icon next to the text box. It will take some time to list the layers matching the search text. You can clear the result by clicking on the 'Clear filters' button, which will list the original records.
To search layer by drawing, you need to click on the 'Filter by area' tab and then click on the 'Filter layers within area' button that should allow to draw a rectangle on the map. Once you finished drawing the rectangle it will take some time to list the layers matching the rectangle's area. You can clear the result by clicking on the 'Clear Filters' button, which will list the original records.
To toggle layers, expand the group dropdown to display the list of layers available.
Click on a checkbox to turn on the layer. If the layer has children then sub-layers will display with additional checkboxes.
Pressing on the three-dot icon on a parent layer will allow you to zoom to extent of the whole layer
Pressing on the three-dot icon on a sub layer will allow you to zoom to the extent of the sub layer, show layer attributes, filter by attribute (available on some layers) and change opacity level.
Layer Attributes
Selecting layer attributes from the three-dot menu will render a table on the bottom of the screen containing all the features within the layer. Depending on the amount of data, loading this table may take some time. During loading you can click on the cancel button which will display the currently loaded data.
In this table you can perform the following:
- Click on individual rows to highlight and zoom in to a particular feature
- Use the checkbox to select one/multiple/all features and then click on the pin icon to highlight and zoom it to the selected features
- Use the checkbox to select one/multiple/all features and then click on the document icon to export attribute data to a CSV file
- Use the polygon icon to draw a polygon on the map which will select all features within the boundaries of your drawn shape, and filter the table down
- Individual column filtering as well as global table filtering
To minimise the attribute table click the attribute table header.
To expand and collapse the attribute table click the arrow icon.
To close the table, use the cross icon located on the right side.
Layers can also be interacted with by clicking on a feature with your mouse/tapping on the screen. Clicking on a feature will display an attribute pop-up.
