Several map views are available under the ‘View Map’ menu option. An example of the maps available is shown below, the list of maps available in your own installation can vary slightly as DataShed5 administrators can add new maps to this list, or modify or remove the default maps.

Clicking a particular map from the list will show the map, and will mark points on the map corresponding to all of the objects for that map type. If there are any active cascade filters, the objects shown on the map will only include objects that fit the filter criteria. (An exception to this is Map Filters, which still show all points, but highlight the filtered points in red).

The map can be zoomed in/out using the zoom in/out buttons on the toolbar at the top-left of the map window.

Zoom in/out of the map by using the map scroll wheel, pinch/expand on a touch-screen device, or double clicking your mouse. Holding the shift key and selecting a rectangle with the mouse will cause the map to zoom in on the selected area.

Pan around the map by clicking and dragging the mouse or touchpad, or a finger-drag on a touch-screen device.

Note that map images will only be available if there is an active internet connection, DataShed5 actively retrieves the map images directly from online map service provider Mapbox as the map is manipulated.

Clicking on a particular point will show more details for that point, the actual details depends on the data type for the map being displayed (see below). Note that points can only be shown on a map if their latitude/longitude data has been correctly added – if necessary your data administrator can use the DataShed Grid Transformation function to calculate lat/long details from other grid data.

Some maps may also include tenement boundaries, drawn as blue lines. If your map includes the tenement layers, clicking the map inside a boundary will show information about the tenement. Other custom map layers could be added for your particular DataShed5 installation, these may show additional lines/objects on the map, and may or may not provide additional information when clicking on objects that are drawn as part of those layers.

Additional buttons on the map allow the user to create a ‘Map Filter’ by selecting a rectangle on the map. All points inside the rectangle are selected as part of the filter. More information about this is in the ‘Filters’ section of this document.

At the top right corner is a map series selection list. When a map is opened the list will include all available series for this map. Various objects displayed on the map are separated into different series according to a particular value, which depends on the map type. Objects may be separated by hole type, sample type, intercept ranges, etc.

Unchecking the box for a particular series will hide all objects with that same value, or of the same type. This can serve to make the map less cluttered by hiding particular objects and allowing the user to focus on other object types. Selecting the check box to turn it on will make those objects visible again.

The map refresh button   is used to redraw the current map. This button is useful if you enable/disable a cascade filter, or edit an active filter, whilst a map is already displayed. The refresh button will cause the map to be redrawn with new points excluded/included after the changes in filtering conditions.

Clicking the **Rectangle icon** opens the Map Tenement popup, providing insights into two types of tenement details: **Monitored Tenements** and **My Tenements**. Each section offers various expiry options, allowing you to filter tenements based on their expiry dates.

The Map Tenement details popup has two toggle buttons:

**Tenement Labels Toggle:**

- When in the 'off' mode, no labels are displayed on the tenements.
- Switching to the 'on' mode will reveal labels on the tenements' area.
- Note: Some tenement labels may become visible only at specific zoom levels.

**Tenement Fills toggle:**

- When in the 'off' mode, no fill colours are displayed on the tenements and only tenement borders will be visible
- Switching to the 'on' mode will fill the tenement with colours according to Monitor or My Tenement type.

These toggle buttons provide control over the visibility of labels on the map, allowing you to customize your viewing experience based on your preferences and the zoom level.

 

Tenement monitoring information based on ‘tblSYSTenementMonitoring’ in MDS, client or administrator need to define lists of tenements, for monitored tenement, add ‘MonitorTen’ in DataSet column. For own tenement keep DataSet as it is.

The Tenement Search function allows users to search for all or part of a Tenement ID and then the map will move to focus the map window on the selected tenement. To use this function, type all or part of the required tenement ID into the search box then click on the required tenement in the drop down box. Note, the window may not focus on the centre of the required tenement due to the irregular shapes of tenement outlines.
