Several tools are available in JMap NG to display information about map elements.
You can interactively select map elements that belong to one or more layers using the selection tools. After doing this, you can view the attributes of the selected elements and export the data in various formats.
The selection tools are found in the Selection panel.
To select elements in layers, you must first make these selectable. For detailed steps on how to do this, refer to Making layer elements selectable.
The Selection panel contains the selection tools that are available in the application.
Click on to open the Selection panel. The icon changes color .
Select the tool of your choice by clicking on it. The tool's icon changes color. The Interactive selection tools section explains the features of these tools and how to use them.
Select elements in the map. You can select elements from all selectable layers at once.
To add elements to your selection, using the same tool or a different one, press and hold the ⌘ key on a Mac or the Ctrl key on a PC. The instructions at the bottom of the screen indicate how to add or remove elements in your selection.
The Selection results section provides details on how to use the application's tools to work with the selected elements.
Several tools are available to select elements:
The results are displayed in the Selection panel and in the map.
The selected elements will remain selected until they are unselected or until their layer is no longer selectable.
The data table displays the attribute values of the selected elements in tabular form. The elements are listed in the tables lines, and their attributes are shown in the columns.
Click on your browser's back button to return to the table displayed with the map.
You can sort the elements based on the values of a given attribute:

Information reports present information from the layer or from other data sources that relate to layer elements.
They can be very simple (a PDF document) or they can contain maps, graphics and photos, information which can be static or dynamic, i.e. which can be updated in near real time, depending on report configuration. Tools may also be available to export information to other formats. The JMap administrator can configure several reports for the same layer.
You can view the information report of a single map element or a set of elements issue from a search based on the values attributes of the elements or from the interactive selection on the map.
The icon in a tooltip or in the card of a map element selected from an interactive selection or search, indicates that the layer has at least one report of information.
Data contained in the report can be exported to a CSV file to be processed with other software.
The report can be exported to a file.
The report can be saved in a certain format for printing and sharing purposes.
Some map elements will display a tooltip when you touch them or when you click on them. The tooltip contains information on the element's attributes, and it can include text, hyperlinks to open documents or videos in their native applications, photos, etc.
Tooltips also provide access to tools for editing items (if the layer is editable and you have the editing permissions) and to information reports (if the layer has reports configured).
Tooltips are displayed temporarily for one element at a time.

Searches allow you to select elements from a layer using the attribute values of these elements. Once you have performed a search, you can review the attribute values of the selected elements and export the information to various formats.
Searches or queries performed in the application are found in the Search panel.
To perform a search, you must start by making the layer you are interested in selectable. Refer to Making layer elements selectable for the steps to do this.
The Search panel contains the searches that are available in the application.
