The first step that you need to take when configuring MyHouse MapSources is to either add an existing map source or create a new a new one. You can do this by right clicking on the MyHouse root icon  and selecting either Import Existing MapSource or Create New MapSource. Any Map Source that you wish to use in My House, other than your BaseMaps, will need to be defined under the MyHouse node.

For details on how to configure Layers and Layer Groups please refer to the Layer Groups section.

You can change the number of columns displayed in My House by selecting the iShare Settings. In the General Settings under Web you will see the entry MyPagesColumns; change this to reflect the number of columns you wish to be displayed.

Display Name

Enter the name that you wish to appear on the tab for My House.

Page Type

Panels Page

This style is the default and is usually used for My House and presents the information in panels e.g.

Nearest Page

This style is used for My Nearest and displays the information as a list with expandable and collapsible Layer Groups e.g.

Search Type

Here you can select the type of search you wish to be performed for this map source.

House Search

This is the default option and will perform an address search.

Area Search

Selecting this option will perform a point in polygon search. When you select this radio button you will also be asked for the Layer Name to be used as the polygon layer e.g. Wards and the Search Field that is the unique id for the layer.

Lookup

Selection this option will perform a lookup in a Data Source. You will be asked to specify the Data Source, Layer Name and Search Field to be used to perform the lookup. The way that this works is:

  1. The Address is selected by user
  2. A  point (Address) in polygon (Layer) search is performed
  3. The Search Field is used to join and return data from the Data Source.

Data Source

A configured Postgres Data Source used for join / Lookup using the Search Field.

The Data Source must be in the "public" schema for this to work.

 Layer Name

This must be a polygon-based Layer in the selected Map Source.

Search Field

Select a field selected from the list of Available Fields configured for the selected Layer to be used as the Search Field to lookup the Data Source.

 If you expand the MyHouse node you will see each configured My House Map Source. Expand an individual My House entry to configure other areas such as:
