Changes to Selection Tools Access and UI Modifications

NEW! Further updates have been made that are related to the Measurement tool. In addition to live switching from meter to feet, there are significant UI modification to tool selection. This modification is available in the following releases; 6.0.1702, 6.1.1611 and 6.1.1702. Refer to the most recent version of the MATIX user documentation for details.

  • New Mode menu
  • All Selection Tools have been moved beneath the Mode menu; cascading menus for tool selection
  • New Clear Parcel Tool
  • No more “three step” tool selection process

Changes to GIS Synchronization Process

An enhancement has been made to the GIS Synchronization process that will eliminate the use of the GIS Synchronization Batch process. When ESRI geodatabases are configured with layers that match one of the three Govern columns in the PC_PARCEL table, the manual GIS Synchronization Batch process will not be required.

Measurement Tool and User Interface Modifications

The Matix integration has been updated with distance measurement tool that allows users to take linear measures off their currently selected base map. In addition changes have been made to the Tools User Interface. This modification is available in GA release 1703 for OpenForms versions 6.0 and 6.1.

Parameter for Secure Base Map functionality

A new parameter called ESRI Layer Type, has been added to Base Maps that enables the functioning of Secure Base Maps. This modification requires the running of the Verify Database process prior to use. This modification is available in GA release 1703 for OpenForms versions 6.0 and 6.1

Theme Maps

With theme maps users are able to view their data based upon themes configured in the Govern New Administration (GNA). For example maps representing sales price, roof type, and so on can be viewed with visual themes such as gradients, or circles representative of relative amounts. In addition, it is possible to configure multiple Theme Maps. When correctly configured, theme maps can be displayed on the fly in the Matix interface.

Display Base Maps on the Fly

It is now possible to configure multiple Base Maps in GNA. Configured base maps can then be displayed on the fly in the Matix interface in Govern.

Save Images for Multimedia Documents

It is now possible to create a .PNG for the maps to add to reports or other multimedia documents.

Additional Selection Tools

For greater selection flexibility, additional selection tools have been added to the Matix tool box.

Base Map Layer Type

New Parameter added : Esri Layer Type for Base Map

Direct Synch with Map Service

Add a direct synch using tax map ufmt to Map Service.
Instead of using the gis_synch batch process to do a complete synchronization from PC_PARCEL to PC_GIS_FEATURES, the ESRI client map layer fields, if well configured so that the values of one of these fields exactly fits the content of one of 3 possible PC_PARCEL field: P_ID, TAX_MAP or TAX_MAP_UMFT (unformatted). If so, we talk about a “direct connection”: 1-to-1 correspondence. No need to convert and simplifies the config process. Available in GA Release 1706 (to be validated)

GIS Intersection Layer Search

Matix integration is able to perform queries on the GIS layer. Users are able to select a feature on a layer and select all features on the target parcel and all intersecting parcels. This information is passed on to Matix in .XML format. The GIS Search will allow users to search for parcels that interest with a target parcel. For example there may be a requirement to find all parcels that are connected to a specific P_ID to generate an abutter list.

OpenForms Components

Profile Query

This profile query allows to quickly identify, in the context of Matix, if the new parcel in the treeview you have just selected has an GIS equivalent. If yes (respectively no), the background of the profile query will be green with the corresponding GIS attribute value and red with (Unknown) as the content
2 System Queries are required (available for downloads) in GA 1706

  • matixTestExist: used as validation
  • matixTestLookup: used as OnClick view query to show the lookup table
  • see also GIS Synchronize Batch Process

Matix – Override Layer Map Extent

Matix GIS Integration – Override Layer Map Extent

Overview

The map extent is the limit of the geographic area displayed on a map. This area is usually defined by a rectangle. In the case of a dynamic map display, map extent may be changed by the zoom or pan action. The Override Layer Map Extent is a feature that will override the default Layer Map Extent parameters. Each layer has its specific defined extent. When system errors are caused by defined extent values, provisions are now available to override and reset them.

Functionalities

The rectangular extent limits (XMin, YMin and XMax, YMax), and spatial reference, i.e. the value required to display your data in the correct geographic location, of the defined area are displayed near the bottom left hand side of the ArcGIS REST Services Directory. The following is an example of a path that may be used: AppServerName > arcgis > rest > services > Parcels

In instances where issues arise as a result of the defined extent values, there is a tool that can be used to override and reset these values.

For Example:

In a situation where the map extent default values are:

  • XMin: 133998.98780000024
  • YMin: 5427385.8651
  • XMax: 766054.8088999996
  • YMax: 6633853.2072
  • Spatial Reference: 26913 (26913)

The above values are generating an error. When these values are overridden, the error is resolved. The following override values need to be entered:

  • XMin: -2.00375
  • YMin: -195164.8
  • XMax: 2.00375
  • YMax: 1.997186
  • Spatial Reference: 3857 (3857)

Configuration

Map Extent group – Override Map Extent

A group box has been added to the Matix Server Configuration tab. The Map Extent group contains the parameters required to modify map extent values.

After the override values have been entered, the Reset the default values button that is located beside the group label Map Extent will be enabled. To reset the default values…

  1. Click Reset the default values.
  2. A confirmation window will be displayed, with the confirmation message, “Reset the default map extent?”.
  3. Click Yes to accept and reset the values.
  4. When the values have been reset, the Reset the default values button will be disabled.

Viewing the results in Govern

When the extent values have been reset, return to the Matix GIS interface in Govern. An indication that the issue has been reset is the presence of the Distance Scale at the bottom of the map is an indication of the correction, in addition the map projection will be flat.

Application Browser Form – Matix Integration

Application Browser Form – Matix Integration

Overview

Matix leverages the power and flexibility of ESRI’s ArcGIS Server, and web-based mapping services, to provide an everyday tool for performing statistical analysis and visualizations. Matix integration allows the Govern application to leverage the functionality of the Matix plugin in Govern V6 through a custom control. When configured the integration is presented as another “child” of the integration controls, similar to the Govern Web Browser Integration (WBI). Matix Integration has been implemented in GA release 1511 for version 6.0 and 6.1.

For the Matix integration, there are three (3) principal areas of the user interface that are used.

  • Dataset TreeView – This is used for displaying search results, and expanding the results to access related OpenForms.
  • Matix Ribbon – This area contains the principal controls that allow users to query and interact with configured base maps.
  • Matix Map pane – This displays the GIS map as well as the controls to modify the display of the map, layers, and selected parcels. The Dataset TreeView and the Matix Map pane can be configured to update and display information automatically or with manual synchronization.

Configuring the UI for Auto-Synch or Manual Synch operation is achieved through selections made in the Govern User Registry Manager form. See Auto-Synch and Manual Synch Configuration in the Matix documentation for more information.
