This document describes how to search for a location in the location catalog of your operation.
Background
There are currently two ways for searching a location in the location catalog
- By location exploring the terrain of your operation in the Google Earth interface.
- By name using the find function of the browser
Step-by-step description
1. | Select 'Location Catalog' from the administration menu (cog wheel) in the top left corner of the screen (Fig. 1). | ||
2. | This will get you to the location catalog screen of the application (Fig. 2). The location catalog screen shows your location hierarchy tree on the right and a Google Earth map on the right.
|
Search for a location spatially
1. | Navigate around in the Google Earth map to the desired location using the regular Google Earth navigation tools. |
2. | Click on any location to show its name, abbreviation and description in a info balloon on the Google Earth map (Fig. 3). |
Search for a location by name
Locations are sorted by location type and location name to make searching for a location as easy as possible. However, finding a location manually might be too cumbersome in large location trees with detailed hierarchies. For this case, we implemented a search functionality.
