These dropdowns are located on the Main Menu to the right of the Location dropdown.

Overview

The Projects, Road Inventory, Traffic, Bridges, Pavement, and Bike & Ped dropdowns 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. This 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, and a Location option is selected, 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 Location = I190 NB (Location) and Urban Type = Rural (Road Inventory) shown.

Criteria Pop-Up

There are some controls hosted in the Criteria pop-up. 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, 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 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 based on the dropdowns used for the search. The example below shows the Details pop-up for the previously mentioned search set: Location = I190 NB (Location) and Urban Type = Rural (Road Inventory). The internal tab, with a name reflecting the dropdown used, is indicated in red. If multiple dropdowns are used, multiple internal tabs will be available. Search parameters selected in the Location dropdown will not have their own internal tab.

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 export this table to Shapefile or Excel.
