GISMO/GEBndPlan Overview Geographic Information System Mapping Object
2
GISMO GISMO is the mapping and display application in Edulog GISMO runs ElPlot and GEBndPlan ElPlot allows you to access stops, runs, boundaries, and students to produce plots or to analyze your data in a variety of ways
3
GEBndPlan GEBndPlan allows you to perform boundary planning and enrollment projection tasks Some things you can do with GEBndPlan: Map students by school grade and gender Select students by school and grade to obtain tallies Use boundaries to select stops and students Produce reports and plots
4
Running GEBndPlan BPServer is a new application that must be running before you can start GEBndPlan In version 9.2 BPServer is set up to run automatically when your server is started You can close BPServer if you don’t plan on using GEBndPlan
5
The Gismo Window Map Display Map Legend Main menus (top) Display tools (side)
6
Zooming and Panning The tool bar on the right of the main window has a variety of tools for zooming and panning in the window As you move your mouse over each tool, you will see info about what that tool does in the bottom left of the GISMO window
7
Measurements and Scale The scale in the toolbar displays the current width of the screen (top of screen) A new measuring tool allows easy screen distance calculation
8
Changing the Display and Adding Labels The buttons beside the check boxes allow you to change the appearance and label the various object classes
9
Display and Labels Here are the options of display and labels for the boundary class of objects
10
Making Custom Labels You can add any text you want to the label by going to the Edit option on the label screen and typing in additional text in quotation marks
11
Plot Layouts View > Plot Layout gives you the window for mapping your Gismo session Buttons in the lower left also allow you to quickly change views
12
Mapping Themes Themes allow you to show data subsets visually In PTS 3, it was the “alternate tally field” Here you can create and save themes for a variety of data subsets
13
Mapping Themes Go to Editors > Theme then select the object class you want to work with Edit each group in the class using the expression and display features Exit the Theme Editor, then right click on the display button and “Apply Theme” on the main legend window Select the theme you want and click on OK
14
Getting a Legend on Your Map Once you have created a theme, and seen it displayed on your map, drag the name of the item into the plot window to see the theme legend on you printed map
15
Selecting Map Objects Before you can edit objects on your map, analyze your data, or perform tallies you have to select items
16
Selecting Objects on the Map The selection tool bar allows you to select items on the map easily Setting a Target choosing a Target item indicates to the system which kind of data you want to analyze
17
Selection Tool Bar Setting the “via” and “mode” selections completed your setup for selection These can be changed on the fly to select or unselect any of the available, loaded data items
18
GISMO Boundary Planning Using GEBndPlan for Analysis
19
Using DataSets In boundary planning, you work with snapshots of the master data called datasets Datasets allow you to narrow your focus and improve performance
20
Creating New DataSets A new button in the tool bar brings up the DataSets wizard
21
Building a New DataSet The first thing you do is pick a school or set of schools
22
Choose Boundaries The next step is to choose any existing boundaries that you want to use The default will be boundaries posted to the schools you have added
23
Choose Data Fields Next, choose the data fields you want to use
24
Select Students Select the student group you want to see using the data fields already selected Leaving this blank will bring in all students
25
Unique Value Lists The unique value list allows you to create separate lists quickly For example, if you want to build a separate list for each school quickly, add school here
26
Save and Name Your List The last step asks you to name your DataSet Now you will see this in a list when you open DataSets
27
Working with DataSets Once you have created your dataset, use the legend check the data items you want to see Use the tool bar above the map to show the exact boundaries and students within your dataset you want to work with
28
Selecting Students Set the Target to Students
29
Selecting Students Set the “via” option to polygon Set the Mode option to add
30
Selecting Students You may now draw a polygon around any group of students to select those students Click on the “select objects” button and draw a polygon
31
Selecting Students The students you just circled are now “selected”
32
Selecting by Objects Once something is selected, you may also use that selected object to select other objects The most used option is to select students by selected boundaries
33
Students Selected by Boundary Students in this map were selected by boundary First both boundaries were “added” to the selection Then, students were selected via selected objects
34
The Data Analysis Window After any selection has been made (no matter how it is done), the data analysis window will show that selection in spreadsheet format
35
Data Analysis Window Once data are selected, click on the analysis window tool Rearrange your windows to your liking
36
A Data Analysis Tool This creates a powerful tool to let you see the results of changes to an attendance area as you add or remove students Then, you can create the boundary to match the desired population
37
Working With Analysis Click on the tab at the bottom of the analysis window that indicates the type of data that you have selected to see the data
38
Working With Analysis Once you have selected items and sent them to an analysis window, you can use the query tool to select and arrange the data on those objects
39
Tally Ho Boundary Planning includes a feature for tallying students Once you display students and boundaries, it is a snap This is a great tool for quickly seeing data any way you want to see it
40
Tallying Student Data First select the boundary you want to tally (inside or outside) Then “Execute Tally”
41
The Power Tally Now you can slice and dice the data any way you want by changing the options on the right
42
Enrollment Analysis While a group of students is selected, you may see that selection as it would fit into a school building You may edit the configuration of each school to match current or projected size You may also project the data several years ahead to see the impact as students progress through the school
43
Creating and Modifying Boundaries in GISMO
44
Creating New Boundaries Remember that a DataSet must be loaded before you can create boundaries Choose the create objects tool Boundaries require at least 3 points Once the boundary has 3 points you can switch to edit mode by clicking the create objects button again to deselect it
45
Creating/Editing Boundaries Remember to use to undo any steps you don’t like Switch to the idle tool when you return to boundaries after zooming, panning, etc. (top of right side menu)
46
Modifying Boundaries Display boundary Check boundary legend in tool Use show boundary tool to select what you want to edit Select boundary (or boundaries) Target – boundaries Via - point Mode – add Click on boundary with select objects tool
47
Modifying Boundaries Choose the edit objects tool to switch edit mode Move a point by clicking and dragging Add a point with a right-click Delete by selecting the point and clicking on the delete tool or delete on the keyboard The highlighted area will change to your new boundary when you save your changes
48
Snapping Points to Objects on the Map The edit configuration menu is the down arrow tool or reached by going to Edit > Edit Configuration
49
Tracing Objects The Edit Configuration menu is also where you set the tracing options
50
Working with Snap/Trace You will find you go back and forth between using the snap/trace options and placing new points You can use the key to temporarily take you out of snap/trace mode to place new points for your boundary
51
Master Data While you are working with boundaries in GEBndPlan, your changes only exist in the datasets you have loaded When you are happy with the edits you have made to your boundaries, you can “update master data” You can choose which new or edited boundaries to save
52
Undo Comes to Boundary Because of the way data is stored and saved in GEBndPlan, you can undo multiple steps of boundary edits z functions a the undo option This will take you back several steps of edits in the boundary that is open
53
Documentation An approximately 100 page manual is available for using GEBndPlan
