The GIS Map contains the following sets of controls:

1. GIS map / Structure view — toggles the view shown to a user (GIS map / scenario logic structure).
2. Panning / Editing modes — [not available in experiment results] add facilities to your supply chain model.
3. Filters — use them to filter the elements that are shown on the GIS Map, show/hide the names of the facilities and the paths between the facilities.
4. Scale / Size — use controls to zoom the map or change its window size.

Button	Name	Description
	Map view	Switches the layout to GIS map view.
	Structure view	Switches the GIS map view to scenario Structure view. The Structure view shows logic structure of the scenario.

Button	Command	Description
	Panning mode	Turns on the Panning mode, which allows you to pan and zoom the map.
	Create Customer	Turns on the editing mode, which allows you to add customers to the supply chain model. To add a customer, click in the required location on the map. A customer icon will appear on the map and a new entry will be added to the Customers table.
	Create Warehouse	Turns on the editing mode, which allows you to add warehouses (DCs) to the supply chain model. To add a warehouse, click in the required location on the map. A warehouse icon will appear on the map and a new entry of the DC type will be added to the DCs and Factories table.
	Create Factory	Turns on the editing mode, which allows you to add factories to the supply chain model. To add a factory, click in the required location on the map. A factory icon will appear on the map and a new entry of the Factory type will be added to the DCs and Factories table.
	Create Supplier	Turns on the editing mode, which allows you to add suppliers to the supply chain model. To add a supplier, click in the required location on the map. A supplier icon will appear on the map and a new entry will be added to the Suppliers table.

Button	Name	Description
	Hide connections	Hides connections between the elements of the map.
	Show connections	Shows connections between the elements of the map. The connections represent sourcing policies defined for the supply chain facilities. For the GFA scenario type this control is available only when observing results of the GFA with roads experiment
	Show straight connections	Shows connections between the elements as straight lines. This does not affect the data in the input tables or the experiment calculations. Only the preview will be changed.
	Filter	Opens the dialog box with filter parameters.
	Show	Opens the drop-down list of controls allowing you to toggle visibility of the following elements on the map: Customers, DCs, Factories, Suppliers, Labels (a label of a facility is the value of the Name column in the corresponding table).

Button	Name	Description
	Zoom in	Zooms in by one level per click. Alternatively, you can zoom with your mouse wheel.
	Zoom out	Zooms out by one level per click. Alternatively, you can zoom with your mouse wheel.
	Expand	Increases the size of the working area, offering more space to observe the required connections or objects. The Input data and experiments, and the Dashboard sections will be minimized.
	Minimize	Minimizes the working area to its default size.

The filter parameters allow you to manually specify the objects to filter. The parameters are:

• Reset all — removes all the defined filters. All elements become visible on the GIS map.
• Suppliers — filters suppliers, leaving only the selected elements on the GIS map.
• Sites — filters sites (DCs, factories), leaving only the selected elements on the GIS map.
• Customers — filters customers, leaving only the selected elements on the GIS map.
• Products — filters paths, leaving only the paths delivering the selected products.
• Periods — filters paths per selected period, i.e., the path will not be visible, if it is not used within the selected period.
• Vehicle types — [not available in GFA scenario] filters paths per selected vehicle type.
