Once this has been added we will be able to search within this area using the advanced search feature option "within:" and we will also be able to view it on the map as a map layer.
- Go to the library
- Set the "Reference Type" to be "Geospatial Feature" (top RHS)
- Set a useful Title such as "Preston area 3072", and maybe add some tags like postcode,
- Choose a Geospatial Category, you can use one of the defaults such as "Area of Interest" or you could define your own via administration → settings → lookups
- Instead of trying to draw the area using the map annotation features, we will get the exact details from http://mapit.openlocal.org.au
- Scroll to the bottom of the form to the "Geospatial Data loaders" section and select "Clipboard Data Loader"
- find the geospatial data you are after & paste it into this field (see Step 7 example below on how to get some data)
Up till this point if you save the library record you will have created a normal geospatial record which can be shown on the map under the map layer "Library Item: Area of Interest" and you can also link other records to this library record such as requests or information or infrastructure assessments. The next step will allow us to use this as a search area when doing searches in data grids.
8. Under the search section, select "Include in search"
9. The add a name to use in the "Search Short Reference" area to be used when you do a search such as "3072" or "pc3072" if you don't have spaces in the search name it will make it easier to work with later, but you can use them if you like
10. Save your record
When searching for records within this area add multiple search parameters, as per the documentation for Searching and filtering
for example: priority:[high,urgent] within:pc3072 will find high priority OR ugent records that are only in the 3072 postcode
if there was a space in the search name you would need to add a quote eg: priority:[high,urgent] within:"pc 3072"
