This article provides a high-level overview of the TerraGo Web Application interface. Use it to understand the main areas of the web app, what each area is used for, and where to find more detailed instructions for specific tools, settings, records, and workflows. For step-by-step instructions, use the related article links included throughout each section.

System Layout

The Web Application is organized into several key areas around the central map view. Items available within these areas may vary slightly depending on your organization’s configuration, but the general layout will remain consistent.

Map View

The map is the primary workspace in the Web Application. Records are displayed as pins, symbols, or grouped clusters on the map, allowing you to view work areas, asset locations, project data, and other mapped information. From the map, you can select records, view record cards, search for locations or records, adjust display settings, and interact with available tools.

The data shown on the map depends on the projects and record types currently selected in Visibility, as well as your role and permissions.

Map Search

The Map Search bar appears at the top of the map. It helps users quickly locate places or records without manually panning across the map. Depending on your system configuration, search results may include addresses, locations, or matching records. Selecting a search result moves the map to that location or record so you can review the surrounding area.

Visibility

The Visibility button appears near the Map Search bar. Visibility controls which projects and record types are shown in the Web Application. These settings affect what appears on the map and what is available in the table.

If records appear to be missing, Visibility is one of the first areas to check. A record may exist in the system but not display if its project or record type is not currently selected.

Right Map Toolbar

The toolbar on the right side of the map contains map tools and display controls. These may include zoom controls, current location, map orientation, map type, and map component settings. Users can use these tools to change the map background, return to their current location, adjust how records are displayed, show or hide labels, adjust clustering, or control whether record cards display when pins are selected.

Map Legend

The Map Legend displays available symbology so users can reference the pins, shapes, colors, and statuses shown on the map. Symbols may represent different record types, statuses, or categories depending on how your system is configured.

Bottom Panel / Table View

The bottom panel contains the Table View, where visible records are displayed in a grid format. The table provides another way to review, search, filter, sort, select, and export record data. It works together with the map, so changes to Visibility may also change which records appear in the table.

Records appear as rows in the table, and record information appears as columns, also called attributes. The record type tabs at the bottom of the table allow users to switch between available record types. Table actions, such as selecting, organizing, filtering, exporting, or refreshing records, are available above or within the table depending on the user’s permissions and selected records.

Floating Access Button (FAB)

The Floating Access Button, or FAB, provides quick access to available actions and workflows. By default, the FAB appears in the lower-right area of the Web Application, but users can move it by clicking and dragging it to another location on the screen.

The actions shown in the FAB may vary depending on your role, permissions, selected records, available workflows, and system configuration.
