Access Information Associated With an Object

Some layers have descriptive information associated with layer elements or objects. The information is displayed in tooltips. In addition, if the Documents extension is found on the JMap server and you have the required permissions, a button in the tooltip will allow you to access the documents associated with the object. You can open and view the documents directly on your mobile device.

To display the tooltips:

1. Touch a layer element whose tooltip you wish to display. The tooltip can contain descriptive data as well as hyperlinks to websites, photos or various documents.

   
2. Depending on the scale, when you display the tooltip of an object you touch, you can view the tooltips of other objects found nearby using the and arrows. In the figure above, the tooltip indicates that you can display the tooltip of a second camera located nearby. A marker on the map identifies the map object whose tooltip is displayed.
3. Touch the hyperlink to open the photo, document or website.

   
4. The figure shows the website opened from the Image link hyperlink found in the tooltip of cameras. The mobile device's share extensions and some other functions are available to share or refresh the information.

5. Touch to close the tooltip.

To access documents associated with an object:

1. Open the tooltip of the object whose associated documents you wish to access.

2. Touch the icon to access the Documents. If the icon is not displayed, but you know that the Documents extension is installed on the server and you have permission to access it, it means there are no documents associated with the object. If there are any documents, they will be displayed as thumbnails.
3. Touch a thumbnail to access a document. The corresponding application or web page (Google Drive, Word, Excel, etc.) will open to display the document. You can use the iOS or Android share extensions.
