• A Site can have zero, one or many plans within it

2. Basemap selector can switch between satellite imagery and topographic basemap.
3. Sites are shown clustered until zoomed in and will then be visible individually.

Survey Site - Search

There are several ways to perform Survey Site searches ranging from manual text search or through the use of filters.

1. On the Site List Search box, click Search survey site by name.
2. The list can be filtered by extent.
3. Filter is available to display Active and Inactive Sites.
4. Filter is available to display ALL BCLS in my organization or select a specific BCLS by name or commission number.

Blue placemark zooms you to the site.

If the display is not working, press F5 and try again. It should fix an occassional issue wherein the 'zoom to' stops working temporarily.
