Overview of Delivered Maps

Maps provide a convenient way for agency staff and public users to see and interact with geographical information. For example, maps can show the locations of parcels and addresses as well as the locations of transactions such as permits, planning applications, cases, and business license activity.

Note:

Map functionality relies on integration with a third-party map service such as Esri Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and configuration in Oracle Permitting and Licensing. For more information, see the Implementing Your Cloud Integrations guide.

If your agency's map server is deployed on a local network, you might be prompted by your browser to grant access to a map.

This example illustrates the Search in menu on the Explore Your City map. .

The following tables describe the delivered maps in the Oracle Permitting and Licensing system.
