Map Editors

Overview

Horizon's editing tools provide comprehensive capabilities for creating, modifying, and managing spatial features. These editors range from basic feature creation to specialised forestry, burn planning, and wildfire response tools.

Editors are accessed from the right toolbar and open as side panels.

Operational Editors

These editors support domain-specific workflows with specialised symbology and data management.

• FPP Editor: Forest Practices Plan editor with multi-mode workflow (Edit, Auth, Vary, Revoke), 30+ forestry symbols, and role-based permissions
• Plan Burn Editor: EMSINA-compliant prescribed burn planning with specialised ignition, safety, and fire management symbols
• NOI Editor: Notice of Intent editor for planned road construction, cart routes, and harvest boundaries (line and polygon only)
• Wildfire Editor: Emergency response mapping with industry-standard wildfire symbols for incident management
• Spray Editor: Spray operations mapping with specialised herbicide application symbols and tracking
• Cart Route Editor: Cart route planning with waypoint management, route drawing, and distance tracking
• LOGR Editor: Logging operations editor for harvest area management (requires admin permissions)

General Editors

These editors provide general-purpose feature creation, styling, and geometric operations.

• Sketch Tool: General-purpose drawing and annotation with user-specific layers and extensive style library
• Map Editor: General-purpose feature creation and editing with points, lines, and polygons on personal map layers
• View Point Editor: Viewshed observation point management with random plot generation and bearing analysis
• Style Editor: Layer symbology and styling customisation for selected map layers
• Advanced Editor: Geometric operations tool providing buffer, union, intersect, difference, and cut operations

Advanced Tools

Several editors share access to an Advanced Editor panel that provides geometric operations:

• Buffer: Create buffer zones around features at specified distances
• Union: Combine multiple features into a single geometry
• Intersect: Find overlapping areas between two geometries
• Difference: Subtract one geometry from another
• Cut: Split features using cutting lines

The Advanced Editor is available within the Unified Map Editors and the standalone Map Editor when a layer name is set.
