How to use the tool
Prerequisite:
None
Steps:
- Click on the Data Grid tool.
This will open the Data window with details of the selected features. The number of features found is reported at the top of the Data window.
- You can now obtain a copy these details by using the Export button. This option lets you export the data shown in the Data Grid to HTML or Excel format. The exported file is available for opening once you select the export file type.
- If you click in the Data Grid on one of the rows, the corresponding feature will be highlighted in the Map Window. Also some additional options become available - Pan, Zoom, Remove and Refine. You can also use the <Shift> or <Ctrl> keys on your keyboard to highlight more than one record/row.
- Pan - Changes the map display to have the selected feature from the Grid at the centre of the Map Window (this does not change the scale of the map).
- Zoom - Zooms in or out so that the whole of the selected feature from the Grid is displayed in the Map Window (the scale of the map will change to accommodate the size of the highlighted feature).
- Remove - The selected feature is removed from the listing in the Grid.
- Refine - All bar the selected features will be removed from the listing in the Grid.
If you have many features in the Grid window, you can reduce this listing using the Filter option in the bottom right of the window.
- Click the Filter button and chose the field that you wish to use, then type in the value of this field in the text box. The list of records in the Grid will be reduced to match your criteria.
