Adding Your Own Data into Quickmap

You can add your own data into Quickmap. Below is an example of how to add single data points, such as Job numbers and documents, into a new Quickmap layer.

Step 1: Create a New Layer

Click on File → New Layer, enter your new layer name (Step 2), and click Add Layer (Step 3).
If you have an existing database, select Add Layer from Existing Database under Step 1.

Step 2: Save Default Properties

Save the default properties for this new layer. You can also create a new layer group at this stage by ticking the New Group box.

Step 3: Add Data Points

Click Add, choose your saved layer (e.g., Job_numbers), select POINT as the feature type, click on your property, and SAVE.

Step 4: Enter Labels and Notes

Add your job number into the LABEL field, include any NOTES associated with the job, and browse to a digital file hyperlink in the mydocuments field. This hyperlink will link to the chosen digital file or website.

Step 5: Search for Job Numbers

To search for a job number, click Find → Job_numbers. This will display details related to the job in the report box (e.g., job 123).
