Customizing GovClarity with Your Data


Drag-and-Drop Spreadsheet Loading

One of the beautiful and useful things about GovClarity is the ability to visualize and analyze your own data, in addition to ours. We're excited to introduce a new drag and drop interface, making loading your data easier than ever! With this, also comes the following enhancements:

  • Support for twenty-two of the most common file types, including Excel Worksheets (e.g. XLSX/XLSM), Excel Supported Text Formats (e.g. CSV) instead of one, as previously supported

  • Simplified dropdown options: choose from "Spreadsheet" or "Shapefile"

Note: Due to browser limitations, Internet Explorer 11 will continue to use the legacy data loader.

Enhanced Integrated Esri Feature Layers

When we first introduced Integrated Esri Feature Layers for our applications, the data presented could only be viewed and accessed by identifying specific features. With this update, you're now able to search the data that's coming from an ArcGIS server just like you would with any other data set, including the ability to:

  • Create Search Filters
  • Copy the Geometry
  • Add Searches to the Results List
  • Style from the Results List
  • Heatmap the Results List
  • Export the results to CSV
Note: GovClarity users cannot actually change the data that's coming from the Esri server.

Bulk attribute Changes to your Data

Updating information for a layer is now easier than ever. The Results List now includes a new command, providing the ability to update the information in a custom layer all at once This can be performed by loading a layer into the Results List (whole layer) or by searching for specific sites and adding them to the list.

Powerful New Search Tools

New Search Capability

This new search capability takes something that has historically been limited to a GIS professional and makes it an everyday workflow. You are now able to search for desirable features in one data set, then limit the search of more data sets to those areas in just a few steps.

This feature can be used to buffer lines, points, or to search within multiple polygons.

Filters and Styling

When searching for a point layer that includes a custom style, that style will continue to be represented in the search results. This includes custom icons and ramped styles and is limited to point layers.

We've taken the feedback from our users and made the following enhancements to ensure an easier and better experience in GovClarity:

  • Point layers have a blue glow around them when searching and filtering, helping to differentiate them from selected points
  • Drawn polygons, lines, and points now have a rotate handle
  • Fixed minor bugs with the Overlay Site Plan
  • Fixed issues with saved Results Lists not retaining their sort order when opened again
