Finding Data

This section will help you navigate MapStand HUB to find layers, maps and documents by using filters and search functions.
 

The Home page offers many other options to find data.

  • The Search for data tool allows you to search for data by name.

    Searching for data

    The Search page, which you will be redirected to, will have the TEXT filter already set with the name you have typed into the search box (see the picture below). If you want to reach the Search page directly, without any input text, you can click the Advanced Search link.

The Search page

 

This page contains a wealth of options for filtering the data available on the HUB. It enables a more fine-tuned search than the simple search box, which is available at the top of every page.
 
It is possible to search for data by Text, Categories, Type, Keywords, Owners, Date, Regions or Extent.

 

Data can be ordered by date, name and popularity.

Ordering Data

 

Alternatively, if you are looking for a particular data type, you can use the navigation bar options:

 

Documents

To find Documents:

  • click on the Data menu > Documents link on the navigation bar

    Link for Documents

The Documents search page looks like the generic one but only Document is considered as data type. You can filter documents by CATEGORIES, as in the example below, or by TEXT, KEYWORDS and so on. You can also use more than one filter at the same time.

Layers

To find Layers you can:

  • click on the Data menu > Layers link on the navigation bar

In the Layers search page only Layer will be considered as data type. You can set one or more filter to refine the search. In the example below the layers have been filtered by CATEGORIES.

As seen for the other data types, the Maps search page allows you to filter your maps by a combination of criteria. The example below shows maps filtered by RESPONSIBLE (or creator of the map).
