Explorer

The Explorer shows registry data on a map. Use it to view Geo-Objects and their history, edit them, add new ones, and explore how they're related to other data.

The System Administrator, Registry Administrators, Registry Maintainers and Registry Contributors can use the Explorer. Registry Contributors' edits are submitted as change requests.

Opening the Explorer

• Navigate to the Explorer page from the sidebar.

• From a list on the Lists and Spatial Data page:

  • View on map opens the Explorer with the list's spatial data as a layer.

  • The eye icon on a row opens the Explorer with that Geo-Object selected.

  • Spatial Data, under a version on the set's page, opens that version's spatial data.

  • Add Geo-Object opens the Explorer with a new Geo-Object ready to fill in.

• From a curation report, Resolve opens the Explorer at the Geo-Object with the problem.

The page has a full-screen map, with a search bar at the top left and buttons to open the Layer Panel, the Attribute Panel and the Graph Visualizer.
