The GeoExplorer provides a geographic view of the assets within the current database.
Zone objects in the GeoExplorer can be used to represent asset areas. Zones can be created in the GeoExplorer by digitising in the GeoExplorer Window or creating from a network. Zones can also be imported from an external data source.
Asset Groups, Networks and Workspaces can be associated with GeoExplorer Zone objects. The associated items can subsequently be opened via the GeoExplorer.
GeoExplorers are version controlled items. See the Managing Version Controlled Items section for more detailed information on using version control.
