Search Panel

IntraMaps can utilise many different types of searches depending on what is configured by the system administrator. The most common type of search form will select objects in the Map Window and display the associated data in the Information Panel.

Providing the relevant selection layers have been configured by your system administrator, each search is bound to it's own corresponding selection layer. As a result there is no need for the user to manually change the selection layer before performing a search.

Click on the relevant Search Tab to access the required search form.

The  icon, located to the left of the search panel, allows the user to pick a search tab from a list. This is useful if your current setup has a large amount of search tabs. The ones that don't fit on the screen can be accessed by this icon.

Each search form consists of a varying number of fields for the user to search by. For example, a standard address search will have a number, street and suburb field. The fields with a * are compulsory fields.

When a search is performed the map will zoom to show the extent of the result of the search. If a street name is used in a search without a street number then all of the properties with an address on that street will be selected. If a street name and a valid street number are used in the search the map will select only the address of the number used.

Provided your system administrator has enabled the option, searches will allow the user to key in a partial search. For example, a street search looking for "Boulder St" can be keyed as "Bou". Assuming there is only one street that starts with "Bou" and ends in "lder St", the result will be the same as keying in the complete search. If there is more than one street starting with "Bou" the search will display a list of all streets that match the partial search.

How the search responds will be determined by the type of data and the options provided by your system administrator.
