MAP MODULE

In the Map module of the IDMS application, the user can create and execute ad-hoc queries on projects data, and have the results displayed on the map of Iraq and its regions.

In the left frame of this screen, the user is able to view the following sections:

• Applications

This option allows the user to define the object of the analysis. By defining an appropriate object, the user specifies to the application which data the following ad-hoc queries will be run on. If the analysis object is changed, the system will reset the list of categories and measures on the user’s screen accordingly.

• Filters

This section contains the list of categories/hierarchies by which the user may define filters for ad-hoc queries. For user’s convenience, the most frequently used filtering categories are constantly present on the screen, whereas others become available when the user clicks on the More Filters hyperlink.

• Public Maps and My Maps

This section contains a number of predefined map reports that are stored in the database. Two options are available in this section:

• Public Maps:
  This section contains the map reports available to all users of the application.
• My Maps:
  This section contains the map reports available to the current user only.
