Spatial Identify / Drill Down Identify

Description of the tool

This tool allows you to click on your map to get details about identified features from all layers. This tool is similar to the Identify tool but it works on multiple layers. 

How to use the tool

Prerequisite:

None

Steps:

1. Click on the Spatial Identify tool.
   
   
   
2. The use of the Spatial Identify tool is the same as the Identify tool so refer to the Identify page for details on how to use the tool. 
    
3. The difference between the Spatial Identify and the Identify tools is that the Identify tool works on one layer only (the Active Layer) whereas the Spatial Identify tool works on all layers (or a subset of layers as defined by your Weave System Administrator).
   
   
4. As with the Identify tool, click and hold the left mouse button down in the Map Window and release or drag the mouse to define the search area. Once you have defined your area of interest, release the mouse button. (The default method of area selection is circular but your Weave System Administrator may have set up a different search area such as rectangle, point, line or polygon.)
    
5. The Spatial Identify window will open with details of all the features that were found in the search area. The left panel shows the layers that contain features in the search area. The right panel, the Grid, shows the details of the features, grouped by layer. 
   
   In the example below, the Spatial Identify window displays the details of the Bores layer in the Grid. 
   
    
   
   To view the details of a different layer (e.g. the NT Bores Water Quality), click on that layer name in the list and the details in the Grid will be updated correspondingly.
