BOUNDARY CONSTRAINT SEARCHES

Boundary data sets in GovClarity® can easily be used as a search constraint. By selecting one of the Limit Search To options on the search form, you can quickly target your searches.

• City Boundary: Lets you limit any search criteria selected to properties within the city boundary. (Note: this is the default setting)


• Selected Feature: Lets you limit any search criteria selected to information bounded by any feature on the map such as a drawn polygon, a line buffer, inspection area, or zip code (Note: this option will show as default if a feature is selected on the map).


• Map View: Limits your search area and results to the area displayed in the current map view.


• Apply as View Filter: You can also choose to run your criteria as a filter by selecting the "Apply as View Filter" radio button.

1. Click an existing boundary such as a zoning boundary, the image will show squares at the vertices, or draw a new polygon, line or circle using the Drawing Tools. For more information about using the Drawing Tools, refer to Related Documents below.


2. Click the Search icon to launch the Search Form Window.


3. Select the type of search you would like to conduct from the Search pick-list at the top of the window.


4. Select a "Limit Search To" option.
   
   Note: If you have a drawing or feature selected on the map, the search will default to limiting to "Selected Feature".


5. If you'd like to apply a buffer to any of the selected search boundaries, input the buffer distance in the Add Buffer box.


6. Expand each category to select search criteria or click OK to return all results within your boundary.


7. Your search results are automatically added to a list below the map and the results within the map view will be numbered in correspondence with the sort order of the search results list.
