Maximo Spatial Tools Available in MAS 9

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I had a few questions thrown to me about the Maximo Spatial tools, especially after the new release in MAS 9. With some changes in the Map, I thought it might be important to highlight some tools that are available to you with Maximo Spatial.

The new MAS 9 release comes with a new map, where tools from the previous version were consolidated, while some were moved to different places for efficiency. In the table below, I will highlight these tools, and briefly discuss how you can find and use them.

When opening the Map, you are presented with six (6) options. See the image below.

Each of these tools are described in the table below:

With these main tools described above, we can further expand these with a bit more detail. In most cases, additional tools become available within each main tool.

Layer tool and Identify tool

The first is the layer and identify tool. Since the layer tool does not have many other tools within it, I combined them with the tools you can find within the Identify tool. The next two images below display the tools when initially selected.

                                                    Layer Tool

                                            Identify Tool

The table below further describe the sub-tools within the layer and identify.

Query tool

The next main tool is the query tool. This allows searching the GIS feature objects for data selected within the criteria. The image below shows the original image of the layers tool.

The table following expand on the tools available from the query tool, as seen in the image above.

Results tool

The results tool is used to hold data returned from any search completed, particularly from the query tool. The image below displays how the result tool appears before a search.

Sketch

Finally, the sketch tool is available to add any shapes, text or measurements onto the Map. This tool is useful when trying to get information about in sizing, or adding notes to nearby features. The following image is the sketch tool when initially selected.

In the image above, the sketch tool also has additional sub tools available to be used to add details to the map. The table below describes the functionality of each.

That should cover the tools that are available on the map. 

Now that you’re familiar with the powerful Spatial tools in MAS 9, it’s time to put them to work! Whether you're streamlining workflows, optimizing maps, or enhancing your operations, these tools are designed to boost efficiency.
