EDIT STYLE OF SEARCH RESULTS


Local Government Help > Documentation > Edit Style Of Search Results

Visual map analysis is an art that is easily mastered in GovClarity®. Use the Edit Style option to enhance the display of your search results with a few quick steps.

Tip: A common use of this feature is to visually differentiate each search you run. For example, you might assign the color red to display parcels larger than 20 acres on one map, and the color blue to display vacant parcels list on another map of the same area of interest.

Note: This document does not describe the ramp buttons LandVision Button Ramp on the Style Editor. These buttons open the Thematic Mapper, a powerful classification tool for advanced visual map analysis (See Related Documents).
