Click t to start the identify tool in the WebOffice flex client. It will open the respective tool form with a radio button menu that allows you to choose whether to identify on

•all visible layers

•on a specific layer

Note: If "MapTip function activated with startup?" is set to true, the "Identify" tool will not be available in the WebOffice flex Client. Further information about the configuration of this parameter can be found in the MapTip chapter.

Note: In order to reduce the number of tools available, VertiGIS recommends to skip this tool for WebOffice flex because workflows differ from other clients. Consider to use the MapTip tool in the automatic mode instead.

Note: When displaying a result the following map updates will be executed:

•Point: zoom to the reference scale of a layer

•line/area: Linie/Fläche: Zoom auf

1.zoom to the reference scale of a layerden Referenzmaßstab des Themas

2.if this would lead to an extent, where the feature is not entirely visible, it will instead zoom to a scale where the entire feature can be displayed (+ about 25% buffer)

3.or when distince scale are used into the next zoom scale that is most close to 2.

Note: The factor that is used to increase the extent can be adapted in synergis_weboffice_user.xml by <record jsxid="result.zoom.expand" jsxtext="1.25"/>.

The main difference between Identify and MapTip in WebOffice flex is that identify works cross layers, so with a click you can select multiple objects from multiple layers (if identifying on visible layers), whereas with MapTip you can only select from a single layer.

The crosshair can be activated for precise working with the touch surface on touch devices. The use of the above-mentioned puncture function (selection of multiple objects from multiple layers) is also possible when identifying using the crosshair.

The active identify tool is executed automatically when the crosshair is used, and the request is sent after a defined time of missing map interaction. The default value of the time span between missing map interaction and execution of the identification tool is 1000 ms, and can be overridden in the synergis_weoffice_user.xml in directory C:\Tomcat\webapps\<WebOffice-Appikation>\client_flexjs\jss by adding the following tags:

Note: See chapter WebOffice mobile for details about the usage of crosshair.
