Description

This Standard Choice sets buffer distance for Civic Platform to artificially shrink a parcel that overlays multiple GIS objects, when mapping the parcel attribute in the GIS map to an ASI field, or when auto assigning inspectors to records that deal with the parcel but have no inspection district information. With the buffer distance setting, users no longer need to select to which GIS object to map the parcel.

Table 1. GIS_BUFFER_DISTANCE Standard Choice Values
Standard Choice Values	Value Description	Description
APO_ASI_ATTRIBUTE_ POPULATION_BUFFER	Enter any numeric value (-0.1, 0.2, 0, etc.) Default: -0.1	This value defines the distance by which Civic Platform artificially shrinks a parcel when mapping the parcel attribute in the GIS map to an ASI field. The Value Desc must be negative (for example, -0.1) for shrinking parcels. If the Value Desc is 0, Civic Platform does not change the parcel border. If the Value Desc is positive, Civic Platform artificially stretches the parcels. The measurement unit of the value is the same as used in the GIS map.
INSPECTION_AUTO_ ASSIGN_BUFFER	Enter any numeric value (-0.1, 0.2, 0, etc.) Default: -0.1	This value defines the distance by which Civic Platform artificially shrinks a parcel when auto assigning inspectors for records that deal with the parcel but have no inspection district information. The Value Desc must be negative (for example, -0.1) for shrinking parcels. If the Value Desc is 0, Civic Platform does not change the parcel border. If the Value Desc is positive, Civic Platform artificially stretches the parcels. The measurement unit of the value is the same as used in the GIS map.
