Display survey work

You can display registered and approved surveys spatially in Web Search. This allows you to see a selected survey’s:

• parcel extents
• non-boundary vectors, and their bearings and distances
• boundary vectors, and their bearings and distances
• marks, and their mark names.

You can then select any of the displayed survey’s elements and view their full summary or add them to your product list.
 

Surveys available to display spatially

You can display survey work for:

• Registered surveys
• Approved surveys.

You can’t display survey work for:

• Provisional surveys
• Withdrawn surveys.

You can display up to 10 surveys spatially at a time. You must add each survey individually. If you try to display more than 10 surveys at once, a warning message will appear at the top right corner of the screen.
 

Surveys with no spatial data, for example Unit title or Cross lease, will display a warning message. Refer to the plan diagram instead.
 

Pre-Landonline surveys may have little or no data to display in the spatial map. The Display survey confirmation panel will identify any unavailable display options.
 

How to add a survey to Display survey work

You can add a survey to display spatially by selecting the Add to display survey work icon from:

• the survey summary page
• the referenced surveys panel  
• the survey info panel in the spatial map
• the product list.
   

1. Select Add to display survey work

Select the Add to display survey work icon for the survey you want to display.
 

2. Select your preferred display options.  

Landonline checks the available display options for the survey, and a confirmation panel appears. You can edit the display options in this panel. You can also change these later in the Layer control panel.
 

Choose display colour

Landonline automatically selects a new colour for each survey you display. Left-click on the current display colour to select a different colour.
 

Non-boundary, Boundary vectors, and Marks

Non-boundary vectors, Boundary vectors, and Marks are displayed by default. Left-click on a layer to turn it off.
 

Bearings, distances, and mark names are turned off by default. Left-click on the label to turn it on.
 

Parcel boundary lines

Parcel boundary lines are displayed by default. Left-click on the layer to turn it off.
 

Select Parcel fill to display the parcels filled in with a colour instead of just an outline.
 

Selecting Parcel fill also allows you to spatially select the parcels.
 

Zoom to survey extent

Landonline will automatically zoom the spatial screen to the extent of the displayed survey. Left-click this option to turn it off.
 

3. Select Display survey

Select Display survey at the bottom right of the panel to display the survey in the spatial map.
 

You can repeat these steps for further surveys to view more than 1 survey at once.

Working with displayed survey information

The survey displays in the spatial map in the colour you choose. You can add more than 1 survey and select a different colour for each.
 

You can hide and unhide your displayed surveys as needed, see: 
Hide or delete displayed surveys

You can turn the displayed survey layers such as vectors, marks, parcels, and labels on or off from the layer control panel. See: 
Edit displayed survey layers from layer control panel

If you’ve zoomed your screen in or out, you can re-zoom to extents of the displayed survey via Layer control panel. See: 
Zoom to extent of displayed survey

How survey objects are displayed in Web Search display survey work

Non boundary vectors are displayed as dashed lines.
 

Boundary vectors and parcel boundary lines are displayed as solid lines.
 

Arc vectors are displayed including the chord between the 2 marks. The chord will display the chord’s bearing, the arc’s radius, and the arc’s length.
 

Marks are displayed as hollow circles, for all mark types.
 

When Parcel fill is selected, Parcels are displayed filled in with a colour. Where 2 or more parcels overlap in the same survey, the colour is darker in these areas to help identify the overlapping parcels.
 

Where 2 or more surveys overlap each other and Parcel fill is selected, the colours will mix in these areas to help identify the areas of overlap.
 

When you display 2 or more surveys at once, some marks, vectors, or boundary lines may be shared by more than 1 survey. When you select these ‘shared’ objects, a pop-up appears with a list of all spatial objects at that position. The objects are colour-coded to match the displayed surveys, so you can choose the object from the specific survey you want from the list. 

Alternatively, temporarily hide any surveys in the Layer control panel that you don't want to currently view. 
See: Hide or delete displayed surveys
 

Select survey features

Use Web Search selection tools to select and view information for displayed:

• Parcels (if Parcel fill is turned on)
• Non boundary vectors
• Boundary vectors
• Marks

Standard selection mode

In standard selection mode, left-click on an object to view its info panel. The selected object highlights pink in the spatial map, and the object’s info panel opens.
 

Where objects intersect or overlap, a pop-up will appear allowing you to choose a specific object.
 

As you hover your mouse cursor over the listed objects, they highlight pink in the spatial map to help you identify them. Left-click on the required object in the list to select it and open its info panel.
 

From the info panel you can:

• add the object to your product list
• view a full summary of the object, and for a parcel also view the related title
• add a mark to a coordinate transformation.

For more information on working with info panels, see: 
Select and view information in the map and add to the product list

Multi-Selection modes

For details on how to use Multi-select tools, see:
Multi-select tools

You can multi-select displayed survey objects. Any selected objects are added to the spatial bucket.

From the spatial bucket, you can:

• deselect items
• add all selected items or any related titles to the product list 
  For details, see: Add selected items to product list  
  and Add multi-selected related titles to product list
• add all items from 1 category to the product list, for example all marks
• add all selected marks to a coordinate transformation. 
  For details, see: Add multi-selected marks to a coordinate transformation 

Info panel for objects selected from displayed survey work

The info panel that opens when you select an object from displayed survey work is specific to the displayed survey that the object is part of.  

For example, a mark’s info panel will show the mark name assigned when that survey was carried out, and its condition and purpose as assigned by the surveyor. These may differ from the same mark’s info panel for a different survey.

This can be useful when tracking a mark’s history.

Example:

In the example below, we have displayed survey work for 2 neighbouring surveys, 1 in red and 1 in green.

When we select a mark that is shared by both surveys, we can see it has 2 different names. Note that the objects are colour coded to match the survey from where they came. 
 

If we open the mark panel for each occurrence, we can see they have the same node ID. They are the same mark but were given different names in the 2 surveys.

The info panel for mark IS (1) DP 26685 from the survey displayed in green:

The info panel for mark Peg (1) DP 26685 from the survey displayed in red:

The info panel for the same mark when selected from the underlying layer:
