Configuring Nearby Query

GIS has the Nearby Query functionality. It enables users to search for records, inspections, and asset condition assessments within the map extent, within one or more selected GIS features, or near one or more selected GIS features.

To enable the Nearby Query functionality, one of the tasks is to create and run a geotagging batch job. Before you create the batch job, set the following Standard Choice:

• BATCH_JOB_SERVICE_CATEGORY

When your agency uses GIS as an external APO data source, you can also enable the Nearby Query functionality in the external APO environment, which requires geometry information about addresses and parcels. To enable Civic Platform to retrieve geometry information from the XAPO data source, set the following additional Standard Choices:

• EXTERNAL_ADDRESS_SOURCE

Enter a map service ID as the value description for the SOURCE_MAP_SERVICE_ID value.

• EXTERNAL_PARCEL_SOURCE

Enter a map service ID as the value description for the SOURCE_MAP_SERVICE_ID value. And enter a map layer ID as the value description for the SOURCE_MAP_LAYER_ID value.

To set limits on the Nearby Query functionality, for example, the maximum number of GIS features that users can select to perform a nearby query, set the following Standard Choice:

• GIS_NEARBY_QUERY_LIMITATION

To disable the Nearby Query functionality including the geotagging feature, set the following Standard Choice:

• DISABLE_GIS_NEARBY_QUERY
