Location of All Documents

Documents will be shown on a map using the geo information in a field. This geo information consists of coordinates. Based on this information a marker will be placed on a map. When you hover with your mouse over a marker, a pop up will appear with document information (fields). When you click on the link, the document will be opened.

Instructions

1. Open and log-in to a Web Client with an added Visualization index. For more information, see the ZyINDEX manual > Advanced indexing > Field Definition Option: Use for visualization.

   Make sure that this Visualization index contains a plain text field names 'Map_Location' and that locations are added to this field. The format is the latitude followed by the longitude separated by a comma. For example, '40.7142691,-74.0059729' to locate New York.

2. Above the result list, select the Location icon (Show map with all documents).

   If you do not see the Visualization buttons, enable them via the Web Client Options.

3. A map with all documents will appear.

   Markers indate the location of documents. Click on a marker (red for one document on that location, blue for two or more documents on that location) to reveal a dropdown with document field information. Select to open the document.
