To generate a map:

1.   Click Reports on the Application Menu.

2.   Select a report topic of your choice.

3.   Optionally specify filter criteria to restrict your report to a specific Agency, Project Type, Project Status, etc.

4.   Click Map on the Action Bar.

Note that this is exactly the same procedure as generating a report, except for the last step where you click Map instead of Report

5.   Select a Report layer by clicking the appropriate check box in the tree view on the right hand side of the map frame.  Only one Report layer should be selected at a time.

 

6.   Optionally expand the Base layers node in the tree view and select one or more base layers.  A  next to the layer checkbox indicates that the layer is scale dependant and that it contains too much detail to be

displayed at the current scale.  To display such layers zoom in more.

7.   Click the Refresh button on the Map Navigation Bar to display the map.  The checkboxes have no effect until the Refresh button is clicked.

If you want to adjust the filter criteria after looking at the Report or Map, click the Criteria Tab, adjust the criteria and click Map on the Action Bar.

Zoom in.  To zoom in, click this button and then click-and-drag a rectangle on the map that identifies the area of the map that you want to zoom in to.

Zoom out.  To zoom out, click this button and then click-and-drag a rectangle on the map that identifies an area on the map that will be used to calculate the ratio of what you currently see and what you would like to see.  If you select a small area on the map, the ratio will be large and the map will be zoomed out a lot (potentially to full extent).
