The feature selection button allows you to select one or more icons from the map. After you select the icon, the rows in the item tab corresponding to the selected icon are highlighted in yellow. Before using the feature selection map control, you will want to have at least one of the map themes enabled. Also, it may be helpful to zoom into the area of the map where the icons of the items are located. A closer view of the map area allows you to select the specific icon in which you are interested.

To select icons on the map using the feature selection map control:

  1. Click the MouseIcon.png button.
  2. Select the icon(s) on the map for which you would like to locate data in the items pane.
Note.jpg To select multiple icon(s), click the map and while holding down the mouse button, drag the mouse to form a rectangle around the icon(s) you would like to select. Then release the mouse button.
A blue circle displays in the centre of the selected icon(s) and the associated rows in the items pane are highlighted in yellow.
  1. To disable the feature selection map control, select another GIS map control.
