The Location, Projects, Road Inventory, Bike/Ped, Traffic, Bridges, & Pavement dropdowns are located on the Main Menu to the right of the Quick Search button.

Overview

All items on the Main Menu, other than the Quick Search and Load Search buttons, open a dropdown list. Each of the first seven dropdowns-- Location, Projects, Road Inventory, Bike/Ped, Traffic, Bridges, & Pavement-- provide expanded search parameters for the respective business datasets. These dropdowns can be used individually, i.e. only define a search using parameters from a singular category, or simultaneously. As search parameters are entered, a Criteria pop-up will be displayed on the right side of the screen, showing the combination of factors selected. The information can still be modified (picklists, textboxes, or lists) or removed (X) in the Criteria pop-up. After all desired parameters are selected in the dropdowns, the user can click the blue "search" button on the pop-up; this will toggle the map to the records that fit these categories and open summary data boxes. An example picture is shown below, with the search parameters of Project Status = Active (Projects) and Site Specific = Yes (Traffic) shown.

Query Picklists

The Location, Projects, Road Inventory, Bike/Ped, Traffic, Bridges, and Pavement dropdowns host filters that help the user create a query. To view more information on the fields hosted in each dropdown, click the desired title (previous sentence) to navigate to the correlating article.

Criteria Pop-Up & Summary Data Boxes

The Criteria pop-up shows the combination of parameters used for the search. Once a search is run ("Search" button), the results will be shown both on the map and in the summary data boxes which appear below the Criteria pop-up. There are some controls hosted in this side panel. The image below shows these controls in red boxes.

Hide Criteria

If the user wishes to hide the criteria for the search while they view the result data, they can click the "Hide Criteria" link. Then, the search parameters, Search button, and "Save Search" link will be hidden from view. The link will then change to say "Show Criteria" which the user can click if they wish to view the search criteria once more.

Save Search

To save a search and store it in the Load Search interface, the user can click the Save Search link on the Criteria pop-up. Once the link is clicked, the user can enter a Search Name, check/uncheck "Others Can View," and click the Save Button. Then, the user should be able to access the search in Load Search.

Hide Results

If the user wishes to hide the results while they view the criteria and mapped items, they can click the "Hide Results" link. Then, the summary data boxes, "Details" link, results count, and "View Tabular Format" link will be hidden from view. The link will then change to say "Show Results" which the user can click if they wish to view the search results once more.

Summary Data Boxes

The summary data boxes can be used to navigate to specific records. By clicking on a box, the map will zoom to the selected record and highlight the feature in yellow on both the map and the list. The user can also click on a mapped record (green line) to zoom to the selected record and highlight the feature in yellow on both the map and the list.

Details Pop-Up

In the summary data boxes, the user can click the Details link to open the Details pop-up. As indicated by the name, the Details pop-up gives more information on the selected record. In the pop-up, internal tabs will be available if multiple dropdowns were used for the search. The example below shows the Details pop-up for the previously mentioned search set: Project Status = Active (Projects) and Site Specific = Yes (Traffic). The internal tabs, with names reflecting the dropdowns used, are indicated in red.

View Tabular Format

The View Tabular Format interface shows a combination of the information on the summary data boxes and the Detail pop-up. When the "View Tabular Format" link is clicked, a table will appear. The user can save this table to Shapefile or Excel.

Previous/Next Report

The "Previous Report" and "Next Report" links allow the user to flip between entries. The user must simply click the desired/available link to move between entries/reports.
