You use the Map tab to find and view GIS features and application records linked to GIS features on a map. You also can edit maps, create features, create and remove links between application records and GIS features, attach maps to records, and create features, such as work order boundaries, to show where work needs to be done.
The Map tab contains the following sections:
Header: Displays the unique identifier of the application record (asset, location, work order, or service request), and its associated feature class information. If the Feature Class field is empty, the record is not linked to a GIS feature.
Map View: Displays the map features. You use the map tools to resize the map By default, when you have an application record selected and then click the Map tab, the system displays the selected record centered on the map, if that record is linked to a GIS feature. If you have not selected any Maximo records, the default map view will be the extent determined by the map document settings configured in your GIS software.
Tasks: Lists the links for Editing (non-versioned data), Layer Selections, Query by Attributes, and Find Address actions.
Results: Identifies the features selected on the map and features and application records resulting from a query. Results are displayed in a hierarchy consisting of the following nodes: Current: Linked and Non Linked; Working Set: Linked and Non Linked. You can expand any node that has a "+" to view its contents. Within each node, results are grouped by map layer. The system displays the name of the layer and a number. The number indicates the quantity of features in that layer that meet the selection or search criteria. To see the attributes of any record, click the record or feature identifier. The attributes and values are displayed in the Result Details section.
Result Details: Displays attributes and values of a feature.
Map Contents: Displays a list of the layers of the map. Layers are organized in data frames. A layer contains features of one feature type.
Use the Map Contents to:
Turn layers on and off to make them visible or hidden on the map. To turn a layer on, select its check box. Clear the check box to turn a layer off. If the scale of the data frame is within the visible scale range of the selected layer, the system displays the features in that layer on the map.
View the names, symbols, and colors used to represent features. To view features, click on the "+" next to a layer to see its related features. Click the "+" next to a feature to view its symbology.
Map Overview: Displays the entire map extent. A red-outlined rectangle on the map overview indicates the area of the map displayed relative to the full map extent. Drag or resize the rectangle within the map overview to view another region of the map in the main map window area.
