Overview

The Citywide GIS module is based on open-source technologies and allows clients to view spatial data as layers on a map.

Users can search and filter the attribute data stored in the GIS layers. Certain asset attributes generated in the Assets and Maintenance modules can be visualized and filtered for analysis. Assets and Maintenance users can locate assets on a map, initiate a service request or work order by clicking on a location, as well as perform map-based decision making, such as identifying sidewalks where the projected condition is very poor, to then plan a coordinated repair program.

Core functions and capabilities include:

• View map features
• Edit functions include modify and delete features
• Customize layer style and symbology
• Measure linear distance between points and area of a region
• Select features within a buffer distance of a point, line or polygon feature
• Filter features by querying attribute values in GIS layers
• Search a civic address or features from map layers
• Export the attribute table of selected features
• Print the displayed features in the GIS Viewer as a formatted map

Citywide GIS can integrate with web facing servers to pull both vector and raster data into the system. This facilitates the live display of clients' base maps/imagery and feature layers in Citywide GIS.
