Note: Be aware that the functionality for neighbor search in Geolocation is only supported in the WebOffice mobile client.
Use the Neighbor Search to find close-by objects (from different layers) to an initial search result easily. The result of a neighbor search is a list of neighboring objects, sorted by the distance to the initial search result. An additional column displays the distance which is also available for CSV-/Excel export. Neighbor Search works like a Buffer but its handling is easier for end users.

Neighbor search configuration
Property |
Description |
Maximum distance [geo db units] |
Maximum distance [geo db units]. Geo db units refer to the unit of the projection of the main map service. If only objects within or adjacent to the selected object should get returned, use 0 as configuration value.
Note: For walking distances a value of 200 (meters) is recommended because it takes 1-2 minutes for this distance. If driving distances are interesting, e.g. 10000 is a useful value. |
Number of hits |
Number of hits. WebOffice 10.5 SP2 stops searching if the configured number of hits has already been found. |
Neighbor search properties
A Target Layer has to be defined for a neighbor search.
Note: Only the first configured target layer will be used for the neighbor search.

Ziel-Layer Konfiguration
Property |
Description |
Layer |
Defines the target layer that will be used to determine the results of the neighbor search. Note: Only identifiable/selectable layers may be configured as target layers. |
Change map view? |
Specifies whether the map view referenced by the neighbor search result layer should be used for displaying the results (Yes) or not (No). |
Target layer properties
Note: See chapter Neighbor Search for information about the neighbor search in the WebOffice html client.
Note: The Neighbor Search in WebOffice 10.5 SP2 clients also supports WGS 1984 and Webmercator.
