Query parameters allow you to link to the map from other applications. This works by appending a query string to the map URL that when clicked, will zoom the user to a specific feature on the map. For example, internal staff at a council may want to search for a property in an internal rating system and then (from that same interface) open a link that takes them directly to that Property in LocalMaps.

Adding a query parameter

1. Click New. Enter details on the following to build your parameter:

  • Parameter Name: a name to identify the parameter. This is what appears in the main table.
  • Parameter: the string that is appended to the URL eg “ValID” could be used if you were going to use Valuation ID as your parameter.
  • Zoom Scale: the extent to which the map zooms when the URL is opened.
  • Feature Service: the layer from which features are searched on. Ensure this is entered as a Datasource in LocalMaps.
  • Search Field: the field that the value passed in will be searched on e.g valuation_id.

2. Click Save. The new Query Parameter will be added to the table.Example of a Query Parameter
