Is there a search function available in OCP? If not I think it would be a huge value add. I've had a few clients and users asking to be able to search for features. I have found the search settings under the interface settings but all if get is what you see below. Am I missing something or is this feature still in development?
Keen to hear if others are interested / have had similar questions from their users.
Hi Lachlan,
There is a search function in OCP. There is a pre-step you need to configure in order to activate the search function in the interface options (the screenshot you sent).
Have a look at the workflow in our documentation here:cityplanneronline.com/.../
Thanks Irma!
Is it only possible to do searches on shapefiles? My data is coming across from a database and I don't want to have to be converting everything to a shapefile and uploading it each time the database is updated.
Unfortunately, this functionality is limited only to "manually" added shape files.
Will you be adding this functionality?
Hi,
Not for now at least. If we get a larger amount of users wanting this functionality, we can consider adding this to our roadmap.
OCP has now been updated with support for search from spatial databases and other feature sources created in DataManager.
