The RIDOA STIP Manager displays 3 functional areas upon first entry into the application: (1) Menu Items (2) Legend, and (3) Map Frame. Each of these are shown in the image below, with corresponding numbers to the list above.

(1) Menu Items

There are four menu items: Map, Projects, Actions, and Reports. The options under the Map menu item will already be displayed in a ribbon format below the menu titles upon first entering the application. The icons on the Map tab are selectable icons that can be used in conjunction with the Map Frame. As each of the remaining menu items are clicked, the user will be able to enter related interfaces for editing and managing purposes.

(2) Legend

The Legend displays a list of available map layers that can be turned on/off by clicking the appropriate checkbox. The legend menu is displayed upon opening the application, but it can be hidden/re-opened by clicking the arrow control (caret) to its immediate right.

(3) Map Frame

The Map Frame is used to display STIP information visually. A variety of controls for the Map Frame permit the user to zoom to an area of interest if desired.
