Spatial Exports
Webmap previously supported attribute-only exports through queries and specialized searches, but municipalities frequently need full spatial data to share with consultants and partner organizations for planning, infrastructure, and environmental work. To support these use cases and improve self-service, this release introduces the ability to export spatial data directly from Webmap.
New “View in Data Viewer” Button
- A new “View in Data Viewer” button will be available in the attribute queries section.
- Permissions to the new data viewer are based on the existing user and feature permissions to attribute queries feature. Users will attribute features permissions will have access to the button.
- When the “View in Data Viewer” button option is selected a new data viewer will open in another tab for the selected feature.

- Users can view full attribute information for the selected feature.
- Users can export spatial data in GeoPackage, GML, GeoJSON, or Shapefile formats.
- Exports include geometry and attribute data.
