Quick Search

"Quick Search" is a convenient feature that allows users to search for a specific Thing from the Thing Layer Library. By choosing a Thing Type, optional Geofence, or by naming the specific Thing, users can easily find what they're looking for, it's current location and current status. Search areas are Everywhere, Current Map View, and Within a Saved Shape.

After a user begins to search for a Thing, the magnifying glass will turn green when results are available. The user can continue to narrow the search or press the magnifying glass for all results that meet the partially entered search term. After a quick search, the data results are presented in a ‘Temporary Layer’ in under the ‘Active Layer’ list. After the temporary layer is closed, is removed from the user interface and is NOT saved in the Thing Layer Library.
