IntraMaps Public is a dynamic application and as such provides its own set of tools. The IntraMaps Public application
is displayed within a custom web browser which has the menu items and standard toolbars removed.
The IntraMaps Public screen consists three main areas:
1) The Map Window displays spatial data which is stored on a
central server. The map display consists of one or more layers (groups of similar spatial data are often
referred to as layers) and will often show both raster data (Photography) and vector data (Points, lines
& Polygons). To navigate within the map window use the
navigation tools located above the map.
2) The Information Panel is located to the right
of the map window and consists of 3 tabs: Selection, Layers and FAQs. The selection tab is very flexible and the data
may be from a variety of different databases which are linked to the map layers in the map window. The Layers tab
displays a list of layers avaiable in the Map window for the user to manipulate. The FAQs tab contains information on
the most common functionality in IntraMaps Public.
3) The Search Tabs appear below the map window and are
configured by the systems administrator. The search tabs can be selected to display the fields into which a search
can be typed.
