INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The Prescott Valley Geographic Information System (PVGIS) has been updated with the latest in web mapping technology to provide an easy-to-use, faster and more functional mapping tool to the citizens of Prescott Valley. This new application will allow citizens have access to mapping tools for quickly viewing, searching and displaying spatial and tabular data. ArcGIS Online is web-based, therefore you cannot break it, please feel free to experiment with all of the tools and functions available. The GIS staff would appreciate any comments, suggestions, notification of errors or overall questions to help us provide the most useful,
accurate and simple tool possible.

• Return features within full extent of the map—Return features within the full extent of the map.
3. Click Execute to run the query. Features resulting from the query are highlighted on the map. If the layer has related data, the related records are also included in the results.
4. Click the ellipsis (…) to take actions on the results set, such as running statistics, exporting the results to CSV.
LAYER FILTER TOOL
The Filter widget allows you to limit the visibility of features in a layer. Only the features that meet the expression criteria will be visible in the map. You can apply multiple filters simultaneously or apply an individual filter to the map.

• You can also open the attribute table for each layer by going through the layer list option…see below.
• Select a record—Clicking a record in the table selects it and highlights the corresponding feature in the map with the color specified in the Attribute Table widget configuration window. Double clicking any fields in the selected record will zoom to the feature on the map. Press the Shift or Ctrl key to select multiple records.
