  Open Advanced Toolbar

The Advanced Toolbar icon opens the Advanced Toolbar which first appears as a horizontal toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This toolbar contains tools to conduct a Network Trace, Shutoff Report, Filter Layers, Selections by spatial filters, and links to enCapture and enFact functionality. See the Advanced Toolbars section for more information.

  Show/Hide Toggle Display of Toolbars and Panes

The Toggle Display of Toolbars and Panes is a toggle icon which opens or closes the toolbars and panes according to the state they were set when the user last logged off. When a user opens an enlighten session for the first time, the Main Toolbar and Enlighten Toolbar are displayed by default, and the Show/Hide is not yet set. 

 

The Show/Hide function works hand-in-hand with the  Save Toolbar/Pane State on Logout function. 

 

The Hide/Show icon will change according to whether the display is set to Show  or Hide . 

  Open Show Info pane

The Show Info icon opens the Show Info pane which is dynamically updated based on the selection of objects within the map. If no objects are selected in the map, the Show Info pane will still open, however a warning message saying Nothing Selected is displayed in the tree pane below the Map Layer header. 

 

For more information see the section titled Show Info Pane. 

  Open Basic Info pane

The Basic Info icon opens the Selection pane where the object's basic information is read directly from the spatial table. If multiple objects from different map layers are selected, the Selection pane displays a drop-down list in the top left corner where the user can select the required layer and then page through the details per map object selected using the  and  arrows. The corresponding object is highlighted on the map as the user pages through the various selections.

 

The attributes displayed in the Basic Info pane are setup in MapGuide Maestro as part of the individual Layer Properties settings where the check box for the attributes are ticked for display.

 

See the section on Basic Info Pane for more details.

 

Fig: Object is highlighted on the map based on selected object in the Selection pane

  Layers List and Control Pane

The Layers List and Control pane is a floating pane which is opened from the Main toolbar and displays on the left-hand side of the screen. This pane shows the list of layer groups and layers available within the map and also acts as a legend by showing how each feature is displayed graphically on the map.

 

Note: The information will change depending on the scale of the map and layers that are made active, for example, more layers will become visible when zooming in and, once a layer is activated, the symbol will appear next to its description. This is caused by the specified layer scale dependency.

 

See the section on Layers Controls Pane for more information.

  Add External and Local Layers

The Add External and Local Layers option allows users to set the background map or External Provider on which their own data will be displayed. This option also allows users to add temporary layers from external files (GeoJSON/TopoJSON, KML, GPX and IGC file formats), and remote URL based layers such as WMF or WFS data to view within the map window.

 

See the section on Add / Manage Layers for more information.

Advanced Toolbar

The Advanced Toolbar contains various advanced functionality to conduct network traces, create shut off reports, advanced selection options, and advanced spatial functions.

  Network Trace

The Network Trace tool allows the user to determine which pipes, valves or parcels will be affected if a network is interrupted within the context of water/sewer utilities. Water/Sewer network tracing starts from a selected pipe and traces to find the connected nodes and pipes that would be affected if something were to happen to the selected pipe. See the section on Network Trace for more information.

  Shut off Report

Shut off Reports allow users to create a report for a planned or reactive interruption in services for water or sewer. The report consists of the Job number, type, event date and time, outage duration and the reason for the interruption. See the section on Shut off Report for more information.

  Integrations

The Integrations tool allows third-party applications to be accessed from within enlighten. The form or application that is launched is specific for each integration configured, therefore further details will be provided by your enlighten Administrator. See the section on Integration Tools for more information.

  Layer Filter

The Layer Filter tool is similar to the search functionality in the fact that it uses SQL statements to display only entities within a layer that meet specific criteria. Please note that the layer needs to be within its visible scale range to be filtered on. See the section Layer Filter for more details on functionality.

  Theme Layer

The Theme Layer allows the user to generate a new temporary themed layer which may vary the stylization of features from an existing layer based on their properties or data associated with the features. See the section Theme Layer for more details on functionality. See the section Theme Layer on how to create a temporary themed layer. 

  Custom Query Builder

The Custom Query Builder provides a mechanism to filter features on a layer by specifying criteria based on the feature properties. See the section Custom Query Builder for steps to create a custom query.

  Select Radius

The Select Radius command allows the user to create a selection set of objects by selecting a point on the map to use as the center of the circle, and then stretching out the circle to the desired radius to define the extents of the selection set. See the section Select Radius for more details.

  Select Polygon

The Select Polygon allows the user to create a selection set of objects by digitizing a polygon shape on the map to define the extents of the selection set. See the section Select Polygon for more details.

  Select Within

The Select Within allows the user to select features within selected layers. See the section Select Within for more details.

  Buffer

The Buffer tool, located on the Advanced toolbar, allows the user to create a buffer around selected features based on the distance and unit of measure selected. See the section Create a Buffer for more information on how to create a buffer.

  Drill Down Selection

The Drill Down Selection prompts the user to select a point on the map and opens the Show Info pane allowing the user to see all related information for the selected object falling within the point buffer. See the section Drill Down Selection for more information.

  Nearest Neighbours

The Nearest Neighbours allows the user to identify a set number of neighboring objects within a set distance of a selected map feature. See the section Nearest Neighbour for more information.

  Spatial Functions

The Spatial Functions allows the user to identify all map features on a specified layer that are adjacent to one or several selected map features. See the section Spatial Functions for more information.

  Spatial Summary

The Spatial Summary displays a polygon summary and a line summary in the Spatial Summary pane. See the section on Spatial Summary for more information.

  enCapture

enCapture is a tool in enlighten that allows the user to keep records on objects defined by attribute data. See the section on enCapture for more information.

  Register Artifacts

The Geo-locate Artifacts allows the user to geo-locate artifacts and capture their physical location. See the section on Register Artifacts for more information.
