The View Toolbar allows users to control the current view shown in the map. 

These tools also allow users to move around the map and obtain greater visual detail on objects by controlling the zoom level.

Home

The Home tool is used to zoom the map to its default view. 


System administrators will set this view. 

Pan


The Pan tool allows users to move the map by dragging it.


    • Click the Pan tool to activate it
    • Click and hold the left mouse button and drag the map to the desired location
    • The scroll wheel on the users mouse is set to default to the Pan tool
    • Click the wheel in and drag to pan the map

Zoom in


The Zoom In tool allows users to enable a single click to zoom in by a factor of two, or draw a rectangle so that the zoom area can be defined. 


    • Click the Zoom In to activate it 
    • Single click on the map to perform a zoom in on a particular location. The map will zoom in at twice the previous zoom level

Or

    • Click and hold the left mouse button and drag the rectangle to the desired location

Zoom out


The Zoom Out tool allows users to use a single click to zoom out by a factor of two.

 

    • Click the Zoom Out tool to activate the it
    • Single click on the map to perform a zoom out. The map will zoom out twice the original zoom level 

Or

Back

Click on the Back tool to go back to the previous view. 


Only the Map View will change, selections will remain active.

Forward

The Forward tool will be disabled unless users have used the Back button. 


It will move the Map View to the view before the Back button was used.

Views


The values in the View panel show users their current zoom, scale and central map coordinates. This is dynamic and changes based on the current map view, meaning as users zoom in/out, the zoom and scale values change accordingly. Similarly, as users pan the map in any direction, the central map coordinates are also updated. 



The View options can also be used as a 'Go to' function. If users have a desired zoom or scale value that they wish the map to display at, type the values in the relevant sections, click the 'Go' button and the map will display at the desired view. Similarly if users have a known XY coordinate location that they would like the map to zoom to, enter in the X & Y coordinates and press 'Go'. The location will be displayed on the Map window. The map will not zoom in to the XY coordinates and the coordinate must match the selected Coordinate System.

Coordinate System


Users can change the coordinate system of IntraMaps from within this panel. There will be a default coordinate system set by a system administrator which will be highlighted grey. 


If users have values that they would like to enter in the Views panel that are using a different projection, for example, Latitude and Longitude, the coordinate system must be set first, before users enter the values.

Stored Views


Stored views can be set so users can quickly zoom to a predefined area. They can be set by a system administrator for all users, or individual users can set their own. These can be used in all Modules.


    • Zoom to an area to view in IntraMaps regularly
    • In the Stored Views panel, click Save
    • Give the view a name (required) and a description (optional)
    • Save


Click the Saved View once to move the current extent to the extents of the Saved View.


Note: The ability to save Views is only available in Enterprise projects with authentication required.
