Via the tool "Identify" it is possible to ask very simple for attributes of any objects. Details on how to configure this tool please find in chapter Identify. If this tool is configured then the 'Identify' symbol appears in the upper segment of the toolbar in the WebOffice mobile client:

 

 

In WebOffice mobile client, there are two options how to use the "Identify" tool:

•Identify using crosshair

•Identify using touch

 

Note: With the parameter "Identify using Touch?" in the node WebOffice mobile of the Project configuration, you can decide which way of identifying shall be used. For very accurate identify operations it is recommended to select "Identify using crosshair", for faster and more intuitive identify operations choose "Identify using touch".

 

Identify using crosshair

 

If choosing the option "Identify using crosshair", a crosshair will appear in the center of the map. Move the map in a way that the feature to identify is underneath the crosshair. The position of the crosshair is always the center of the map. By moving the map underneath the crosshair, simple and quick "Identify" can be done on smaller displays.

 

 

The result of the Identify will be shown on the lower segment of the WebOffice mobile client. More details on the results see chapter Results.

 

Identify using touch

 

If selecting the option "Identify using touch", simply touch (or click when using WebOffice mobile client on a desktop browser) at the position where the marker is to be set. A pin marker will be placed at the position, identifying the object underneath it. The map does not have to be moved to identify different objects. When using this method for identifying, the administrator can choose to set the "Identify" tool always active. Only if other tools from the lower toolbar are activated, identify is paused. If this option was selected, a message will always appear after project start telling "Click the objects on the map to display more information".
