Grid Select by Shape Tool

The grid “Select by Shape” tool can be used to filter records in the grid by drawing a shape on a map. Any features that intersect with the feature will be displayed in the grid.

This spatial filter works in conjunction with any other filters in the grid.

Notes

  • The “Select by Shape” tool will remain active even if the associated grid is minimised

  • Clicking the “Clear Filters” button on the associated grid will remove the spatial filter and polygon

  • Hover over the edge of any existing feature to drag and modify the feature

  • Hold down the SHIFT key when drawing the feature to draw irregular shapes

  • You can right-click on the map when the tool is active and select “Clear Feature” to just remove the spatial filter
