Getting Started

The Village of Bartlett GIS Web Portal enables you to explore a map of Bartlett and find information useful to you.

How it works

The GIS Web Portal has Four main parts: Along the top, a menu with links to the Help and the Toolbar for interacting with the map. Map Console, on the left side of the page, allows interaction with the map and provides, information about the map. Locators enables you to Find or search for features. Map Contents - turn on/off various map features. Results - shows the results of searches and the Layer Identify tool.

Working with the Console

You can hide and then show the Console as needed. Click the gray arrow just to the left of the map to hide the Console. Click the arrow (which now points to the right) again to show the Console.

You can resize the area used by the Console by clicking and dragging the divider between the Console and the Map. This allows more room to view either area as you work.

You can expand and collapse sections as needed. Click the down arrow to expand a Console section:

Click the up arrow in the title of a section to collapse it to its title bar:

The content of the section is hidden but not deleted. Expand the section to see the content again.

Console sections can be resized in height. To resize a section height, move the cursor to the bottom of the task section, until the up-down arrow appears. Click and hold the left mouse button, and drag the section up or down to resize.

Working with the Results window

The Results window works the same way as the console window. The window automatically expands when a search is performed or the Layer Identify tool is used. You can then use the arrow to collapse or expand the window.

To resize the Results window you must move your cursor to the the right of the collapse/expand arrow until it become a line with arrowheads at each end. Then drag the window up or down to resize it.

Working with moveable elements

Some elements, such as the Measure window, may be moved around the page and closed. You can arrange these elements to suit your own work.

To move elements, click and hold with the left mouse button on the title bar of the element. As you hover over the element's title bar, the cursor changes to a four-way arrow, indicating you can move it by clicking and dragging.

Drag the element to the position you want, then release the mouse button.

If you accidentally move an element outside the visible window, you may move it back by using the browser's scrollbars to scroll the window until the element is visible, then drag it back to the main area of the window.

Close a moveable window by clicking the close button it its upper right corner. Most such windows may be re-opened from the appropriate location. For example, the Measure and Magnifier windows may be re-opened from the Toolbar.
