Description:
GovMap - Embedded GIS Component
Based on ESRI’s MapObjects technology, GovMap provides an inexpensive alternative for deploying GIS-based technology to Govern users across many business areas—such as permits, licensing & inspections, tax billing & assessment, mass appraisal, utility billing and more.
With this enhancement, Govern users will now have the ability to use GIS functionality from directly within Govern. Govern clients will have access to an easy-to-use administrative setup and the ability to search, query and visualize data via GIS.
GovMap consists of three modules: Administration, Search and Results.
Administration module
The Administration module provides Govern administrators the ability to create the “base map” for use within Govern. The interface allows them to easily add and remove map layers, configure thematic mapping characteristics such as colors and symbology, and control the zoom level for map layers. All configuration settings are saved inside the Govern database and accessible by the two other modules.
Features
The Administrator can:
• load desired GIS datasets (e.g., shapefiles, SDE layers, CAD drawings and aerial photos)
• change colors and symbols for each GIS layer
• set the map units
• set labeling characteristics
• set map tips for dynamic attribute access
• set selection colors
• save in Govern’s database
• Run within the Govern Admin module
Search module
The Search module allows Govern users to search for parcels using various graphic objects (e.g., points, lines, rectangles and polygons) and GIS selection operations. The resulting parcels are then available for use with other Govern functions such as permitting, taxation, mass appraisal, business licenses, utility billing and inspections.
Users can:
• place graphic objects on the map canvas
• use multiple methods for selecting parcels (e.g., touching, intersecting, containing, etc.)
• browse or search for parcels based on the chosen selection method
• dynamically change colors of the selected record and the overall recordset
• manipulate the map display by zoom in, out, previous, overall extent and to selected records
• pan the map
• Dynamic scale bar
• Highlight the selected parcel of a selected recordset as the user scrolls through the recordset
Results module
The Results module allows users to perform a standard search via tax map number, address, subdivision, etc., and view the selected record set within GIS. The selected recordset is handled transparently between the MapObjects component and core Govern software. Users can quickly create maps of the selected parcels and manipulate the selected record within the recordset.
Users can:
• manipulate the map display by zoom in, out, previous, overall extent and to selected records
• identify (retrieve standard attribute data about the parcel)
• pan the map
• dynamically change selected colors
• change selected parcel via a map selection
• Dynamic scale bar
• Quick map production
• Works off of the current selected recordset
• Recordset and current parcel are highlighted
Overall benefits of Govern’s GovMap are numerous and include:
• Easy-to-use interface
• Cost effective and time saving solution
• Customizable presentation of data
• Use mapping to locate parcels
• Identify trends and hotspots
• Examine activity on neighboring properties
• Determine abutters for notification
• Quick map output for field work
