Setup: Show in Map

The Show in Map tool allows users to view the location of a record from Lucity in the a map. This tool is found within Lucity Desktop, Web, and Mobile products. The setup for each tool is slightly different, and contains different capabilities.

Lucity Desktop

Lucity Desktop has the greatest variety options for the show in map tool. It can launch the Lucity Webmap, Lucity GIS Viewer, a 3rd party webmap, and ArcMap 10x. The tool can be defined by each user and set to launch a default map, or it can be configured on a module by module basis to launch different ArcMap products. Finally there is a configuration program that allows administrators to setup the show in map tools for multiple users at once.

Order of Map use

1. If a map is selected for the module the show in map tool will use that.
2. If a no map is selected for the module and the default map is set in the system configuration the show in map tool will use the default map.
3. If no default map is set the show in map tool will automatically launch the Lucity Webmap or Lucity GIS Viewer. Which one it launches is based on which .exes are used in the desktop for the Show in Map tools.

Setup

User Setup - Users can setup the Show in Map for themselves in Lucity Desktop. For more information about this go here.

Admin Setup - Administrators can setup the Show In Map for multiple users at once in ArcCatalog. For more information go here (Show in Map Configuration, http://help.lucity.com/webhelp/v145/gis/index.htm#23752.htm).

Lucity Web

Lucity web can launch the Lucity Webmap, the Lucity GIS Viewer or a 3rd party web product.

Setup

Lucity Webmap - No setup is required by the user. When the Administrator sets up the webmap they assign different maps to different groups and set a default map. If the user's Default Rules Group has an assigned map, that map will open. If the user's Default Rules Group is not assigned, the default map will open. More information about Webmap Setup

Lucity GIS Viewer - To make the Lucity Web launch the GIS Viewer instead of the webmap, users need to change the Use GIS Viewer instead of GIS Web... setting found in the Lucity Administration Tool > System > Settings > GIS Web Tab.

3rd Party Webmap - This requires an agency to have a 3rd party mapping product that works with Lucity and an administrator to change some settings in the Lucity Administration Tool.

Lucity Mobile

Lucity Mobile will launch a Lucity Webmap.

Setup

Lucity Mobile Map - No setup is required by the user. When the Administrator sets up maps they assign different maps to different groups and set a default map. If the user's Default Rules Group has an assigned map, that map will open. If the user's Default Rules Group is not assigned, the default map will open.
