Style Layers
The styling tool gives you the ability to create dynamic styling for each of your layers.
When working with lots of different map layers it's important to give them distinctive and intuitive styles. The styling tool makes this a quick and easy process.
Styles within a Map Layer can be the same for all features, or they can change depending on the classification of a feature. For example, you can show grit bins with a green icon if they are full, orange if they are half-full and red if they are empty.

Manage Assets
Use Parish Online as a repository for your council assets, ensuring you have an accurate and up-to-date asset register for your Insurance policy.
The pre-formatted Asset Register layers make it easy to add anything you own, from a printer, to a playground, to a town hall. Each pre-formatted layer has text fields to prompt you to add essential information that your insurance provider can use to help you with claims.
Having an online record will save time and quibbles if a claim needs to be raised.

Annotate Maps
The annotate tool allows you to mark-up the map to highlight issues or communicate ideas.
The annotate tool has point, line, arrow, area, circle and label options to give you complete flexibility in marking up the map. However, the annotate tool should not be used to store permanent data - it's only there to highlight information on a temporary basis.
Need to share an issue? Mark up the map then use the print tool to send a PDF to a colleague.
