School Zone Beacon Audit Map

This Web Mapping Application was created for Arterial Management to verify all School Zone Beacon, Clock, and Web-IO assets in preparation for process changes to be made to Data Tracker.

Getting Around the Map

Sign-In to Web Map

  • Search Bar: type and address, intersection, or location

  • Zoom In / Zoom Out: Use the +/- to zoom in and out. You can also zoom in/out using the scroll wheel on your computer mouse

  • Home: The home button will return you to the default map extent

  • My Location: Click to take you to your location in the map

  • In the upper right corner, there is a link to the Data Tracker application

Layer List

  • All of the layers can be turned on/off by checking/unchecking the box to the left of the layer name.

  • Click the 3 dots to the right of a layer for options: you can Zoom to the layer or Show/Hide labels

  • The layers have visibility ranges set, so if a layer is greyed out you need to zoom in farther for it to become visible.

Bookmarks

  • Bookmarks have already been created for all AISD schools and some other schools that already have school zone beacons in the data.

  • Users can add additional bookmarks by clicking the Add button at the top left. A new bookmark will be created at the bottom of the list, which can be edited or deleted. Each user will only see their Bookmarks.

Editing

  • Use the Edit Option to create new features.

  • Click on the type of feature you want to add, then go to the location in the map and click to add the new feature (when you are in edit mode, it will say "click to add a point" next to the cursor).

  • After you are finished adding new points, click on another option like the Layer List so you do not continue creating new features when clicking on the map.

  • When you are finished editing features, click on the Layer List or Bookmarks to exit Edit Mode.

Move an Existing Feature

  • You need to be in Edit Mode to move features to different locations.

  • When you select a feature and it becomes a light pink circle it is editable and can be moved.

  • If you move a feature accidentally there is an Undo button at the bottom of the Edit section on the left side of the screen.

Add a New Feature

  • Click on the Edit button on the top left of the screen, the Edit templates will be available below.

  • Click on the feature you want to add, then click on the map to add the new feature (the location will be added based on the point of the arrow on the cursor).

  • A blank Attribute Window will open for the fields to be filled out, click the Close button at bottom when finished.

Remove an Old Feature

  • Deletion of features is not allowed on this data to prevent any oops moments from occurring

  • Both the School Zone Beacons and Web-IO layers both have a Status field that will be coded to New, OK, or Remove when editing.

    • School Zone Beacons / Clocks: Beacon Status field

    • Web-IO: Web-IO Status field

  • If an existing feature needs to be removed from the data, select Remove for this field

  • After you close the Attribute Table and move the map the feature will no longer be visible as all features with a Status of "Remove" will not be visible to the users.
