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 line buffer, inspection area, or zip code (Note: this option will show as default if a feature is selected on the map).


• Map View: Lets you limit any search results to selected to information contained in the current map view.


• Add Buffer: Lets you apply a buffer to any selected boundary or line.

1. Identify an existing boundary on the map by clicking on it (image will show squares at 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 Forms Window


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

5. If you'd like to apply a buffer to any of the selected search boundaries, you can do so by inputting the buffer distance in the Add Buffer box.


6. Enter search criteria by expanding the search categories or simply click OK to return all results within your boundary.


7. Your search results will automatically be 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.
