INCLUSION EXCLUSION SEARCH

Local Government Help > Documentation > Inclusion Exclusion

|
Inclusion Geometries allow the user to define a custom search area. Draw a Polygon, Circle, and/or Line, and apply a search filter to that specific area so you only see results within your defined areas.
Exclusion Geometries will exclude the areas drawn while running a search filter. For example, a user might want to exclude a certain neighborhood, or exclude a 5 mile radius market area.
GovClarity™ lets you run a search filter with multiple inclusion / exclusion geometries applied at once.

Search by Polygon Inclusion/Exclusion
|
| 1) Click on the Inclusion Area to include an area or Click on the Exclude Area for an Exclusion Area. |
|
| 2) Select Add Polygon |
|
3) The mouse cursor will change to a cross-hair. Click once to begin the polygon drawing. Click again at each angle-point. Double-click to close out the polygon. |
| 4) The area drawn, the Inclusion Polygon, will display with the selected properties. |
|
| 5) The Search Filter will now only focus the search to this area (and any additional Inclusion areas if active). If no Search Filter criteria is selected then all parcels will display highlighted and shown in the Count (Count is shown at top-right).

Search by Circle Inclusion/Exclusion
|
| 1) Click on the Inclusion Area to include an area or Click on the Exclude Area for an Exclusion Area. |
|
| 2) Select Add Circle |

The user must set a Buffer Geometry, which will expand the search area outward from the line per the buffer distance specification and provide all properties that meet the filter criteria in the Count (Count is shown at top-right). |
