Changes made to GIS Public Access Web Services Version 2

May 24, 2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- A service pack was applied to the ArcIMS software.


Table of Contents changes:
--------------------------
- Clicking on a layer name will now open a pop-up window to display 
  metadata (descriptions of layer content) about the layer.  If a layer
  does not have metadata, a contact information page for the agency
  responsible for the layer will be displayed.

  The metadata pages are copies of the metadata that are distributed on
  the data DVD's available for purchase from Summit County GIS.
  Therefore, some descriptions may differ slightly from the actual
  content of the layer as seen on the GPAWS site.  This is temporary 
  while Summit County GIS develops metadata for the "live" layers on
  the GPAWS site.

- A "Reset Map" button has been added underneath the "Refresh Map" 
  button.  This button will reset the map to its original display 
  extent, clear any selected features, and reset the table of contents 
  to its default display properties.  It also resets the Parcel Search 
  and Other Info tabs.

  During the reset - which is essentially a complete reloading of the 
  mapping application - if you get any error messages, just click 
  through them and the application should eventually return to normal 
  on its own.


Layers changes:
---------------
- The HOME Eligibility Areas layer has been added to the Economic
  Development folder.  For a description of the HOME layer, see it's
  metadata.

- The annotation layers in the Parcels folder have been re-ordered so
  that the Street Names annotation may display more often.  This is in 
  response to comments from the public about street names not displaying 
  at the parcel level like they did before the previous site update.  
  Due to software limitations, Summit County GIS has very little control 
  over how labels are displayed, but will continue to work on improving 
  the situation based on user feedback.
