Tutorial: Advanced Filter

1. To apply a filter, open the Advanced Filter by clicking on the funnel icon in the white Navigation Toolbar or in the top right corner of the Map View.
2. The filter will default to the layer you are viewing in the Legend, for example Trees. If you do not see the layer you want to filter, click the plus sign (+). Click on the desired layer to add it to the Advanced Filter.
3. Look through the Fields displayed in green and click on the Field you want to filter. This expands the Field to display the field options.
   • If the Field you want to filter by is not listed, click the Add Field dropdown to bring up a list of supplemental fields.
   • Select the desired Field from this list to add it to the filter.
4. The field type determines the selection options:
   • Number fields (ex. Date Added, DBH):
     • use the slider bar to select from a range, or
     • Click the Exact tab to enter a specific number or date.
   • Dropdown, Multiselect and Radio buttons (ex. Status, Observations):
     • make a selection from the list of field options
   • Lookup tables (ex. Common Name, User):
     • make a selection from the popup window
   • Text Fields (ex. Comments, Address):
5. When you are satisfied with your choices, click Apply.
6. To remove a field from the applied filter, uncheck the box and click Apply.
7. To clear all filters, click the Clear All Filters button.

1. Click the checkbox next to the field to expand the selection options.
2. At the bottom of the selections, click the Null Options dropdown. All fields have the same four options.
   • Show Only Not Null Values — this option overrides any selected field options. The result shows only trees with not Null values.
   • Include Not Null Values — use this option in conjunction with the field options. The result includes any features with not Null values and any selected field options.
   • Show Only Null Values — this option overrides any selected field options. The result shows only trees with null values.
   • Include Null Values — use this option in conjunction with the field options. The result includes any features with Null values and any selected field options.

Below the Null Options is the Not option.

Use the Not option to exclude trees with certain attributes. In the image on the right for example, the filter will not show any trees that have Single Family checked in the Land Use Field.

NOTE: The Not option applies only to the field options, not the Null Options.

1. To access the Map Filter, open the Advanced Filter by clicking the funnel icon in the Navigation toolbar or in the top right corner of the Map View.
2. Select Map Filter (Note: the exact name of the button varies based on the Inventory Layer you filter, ie. Tree Map Filter for filtering on the Tree layer.) Once you click the button, the Advanced Filter window minimizes.
3. Click on the map to draw a polygon around the features you want to select. Each click on the map, adds a vertex to the polygon. When you’ve captured all of the desired data, double-click to finish the shape.
4. Once the polygon is created, change the shape to include more or less features by dragging the polygon boundary.

To change this setting, click the Layer Filter Settings (located under the Add Field dropdown). In the dropdown select “Or”. Now the filter will return any features that meet at least one condition set in the filter.

1. In the Advanced Filter window, click the plus (+) button. A new window appears with additional Inventory Layers.
2. Select the layer you want to add to the filter.
3. Apply filters on the selected layers. Switch between layers by clicking on the tabs above the Add Field dropdown.
4. Click Apply once you’re satisfied with your selections.

The Global Filter settings works in the same way as the Layer Filter settings except that Global Filter settings specifies how filter options are combined between Layers. The Global Filter settings are located in the top right corner of the Advanced Filter.

Here you can also check the Bound to Map option. Checking this box centers the map around the filter results so you can easily see all features.

2. Set up the filter as described in the Applying a Filter section above.
3. In the top right corner of the Advanced Filter, click Save View Filter.
4. In the new window, click Create New Filter and enter a name. Then click Save.
