JMap Web allows you to perform two types of searches:

•Searches for addresses and locations.

•Searches for the elements of a layer based on those elements' attribute values. The elements selected are displayed on the map, and you can access their descriptive information.

Searching for an address or location

To perform a search:

1.Click on Sidebar and then click on the Search tab. The list of searches appears.

2.Enter the address or location in the Search field. As you type, options will be displayed to guide you.

3.Click on Go. The chosen location is centered in the map interface.

Searching the application layers

To search for layer elements based on the values of their attributes:

1.Click on Sidebar and then click on the Search tab. The list of searches appears.

2.Click on the name of the search you are interested in. The search form displays.

3.Click on the arrow to display the value menu of each attribute. Select the values you are looking for.

You can only select data for a few attributes. For certain attributes, you can select more than one value.

4.Click on Reset if you wish to return to the empty search form and delete the values you selected.

5.Click on Search to display the search results. The elements retrieved are identified with markers in the map interface. The selection explorer displays the attribute data for these elements.

6.Click on the arrow to hide the selection explorer.

7.Click on the arrow to redisplay the selection explorer.

Working with search results

Several tools are available to work with search results.

The selection explorer allows you to view and organize the attribute data of the elements retrieved.

Other functions are available to select and filter data based on attribute values or to export the data to a file. The Open Table in new tab icon opens the attributes table in a new browser tab. The table remains synchronized with the map, even if the tab is detached to open it in a new window. You cannot put the table back in the map interface. When you close the table, the selection results disappear from the map interface.

Selecting elements

Elements can be selected manually.

Exporting data

You can export the search results to an Excel file.

1.Click on to export the table to an Excel file. The file will be downloaded to the folder you specify.

Generating an information report

If the JMap administrator configured reports for the data layer, you can generate an information report for the elements returned by the search. The reports may have basic or advanced functionality. If no report has been configured for the layer, when you try to generate one, a message indicates that there is no report.

1.Click on to generate the report for the selection. The interface of the basic report is as follows:

2.Click on the name of the other report (if it exists) to display it. If it is an advanced report, other tools will be available:

3.Click on Close to close the report and return to the selection explorer.

Exporting report data, in whole or in part, to a file

Data contained in the advanced report can be exported to a CSV file to be processed with other software.

Exporting the report to a file

The report can be exported to a file.

Printing the report

The report can be saved in a certain format for printing and sharing purposes.
