User guide: British Columbia Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund (BCSRIF) map

The BCSRIF map is an interactive map-based application that shows the location of BCSRIF projects funded from 2019 to 2022, and provides information about the projects. The map also provides insight on areas to focus on in the future.

The intent of this user guide is to provide an overview of the functionality of the application along with an explanation of how the widgets are used.

Option may be toggled on or off, and the drop down menu allows for filtering based on three Pillars of the program.

The three dots at the bottom right of the filter widget:

• First button on the left: returns the map to original settings (similar to the toggle off option)
• Second button (refresh button) reverts settings to original without filters.
• Custom filter (third button from left) allows for a more custom filter:
  • add expression - allows for filter based on all strings seen in pop up, i.e. name of project, title, summary, description. etc.
  • add set - allows you to choose mutliple sets of filter for strings seen in pop up, i.e. name of project, title, recipient, description, etc

A drop-down list with options for subsetting the locations in the map panel. The options include drawing a rectangle around the locations of interest.

For printing the area of the map. Includes the location data points with the icons of pillars, or the selected area of your choice.

A text-based search of the information. If the user selects a site that appears in the search bar list, this will create an action to highlight the location on the map with a cyan circle. This helps the user to navigate when zooming in to the site with the map zoom and pan controls.

For example typing “2019” will give a list of all locations where the string “2019” appears.

Note: If you know the name of the site you want to get information for, the search bar is a much faster way to navigate compared to zooming in and out on the map.

The map zoom level is maintained when you select a site from the search bar.

The maginfying glass searches for strings in search bar. The search can be filtered by Program Recipient or Project number from arrow beside the search bar.
