The control windows
The control windows play an important role when working with EasyMap. They offer the following overviews and control options:
- Base Mapscontent the EasyMap-workbook and objects. Other control windows are automatically displayed when they are needed.
- The user can open the control windows with the corresponding commands in the Window menu.
- To switch between the different control windows, click on the tabs at the bottom of the control windows.
Base Maps
The control window base maps shows all base maps from the selected directory. The default path of the digital maps is available as a directory, which displays the pre-installed maps and is defined during installation (default path of the digital maps). The base maps can be inserted by drag&drop onto the sheet in the middle of the program window. More information.
Content
The control window Contents offers you an overview of the contents on your map and on the individual sheets. You can change the properties or control visibility using the context menu for the levels. If you switch on the scale ranges here, you can directly use the automatic zoom and thus display your maps with more or less details depending on the zoom. More information.
Analyses
The control window Analyses shows an overview of the analyses contained in the workbook. It allows quick access to the analyses, for example to change their settings or to make them visible or invisible. More information.
Objects
The control window Objects contains all objects that can be inserted in addition to maps on the sheets. These serve to design a sheet, i.e. to supplement legends, headings, explanations, etc. More information.
Data
The control window Data shows all data contained in the workbook regardless of whether a table view is currently open or not. It gives you the ability to directly update existing data (if it is linked), import or link new data, and create or edit a query. More information.
Scale Ranges
In the control window Scale ranges you can set for map layers and display types at which scales they should be visible and at which scales not. If Zoom automatic is activated (cf. command in menu View), EasyMap uses these settings to decide which map contents must be visible for each View scale and which not.
For information on settings and effects on working with the auto zoom function, see here.
Territory Organization
The control window Territory organization is also available in the EasyMap Standard Edition. However, it is mainly used for sales territory planning. Therefore it is described in detail in connection with the EasyMap DistrictManager Edition.
