The query builder allows you to search for information on individual map layers shown on the
map. Results are displayed as an interactive table. Clicking a result on the table will
zoom to and highlight that feature on the map. You can search and display all of the
data for a layer, constrain your search to within the current map view, or search for
information which is inside the shapes that you draw on the map as annotations. For some
layers the MapInfo Stratus Administrators will have set up additional
criteria that you can choose to further limit the results you get (for example, to
return results within a date range or results which meet some other value).
A query can be set up to perform a more detailed search on a map. Query now also supports
Date, Time and Date_Time data types. You can set your query based on following
parameters:
| Query Options |

touches it. If there are more than one annotation present on the map
then two more options will be available to choose from- Selected
Annotations and All Annotations. |
| From |

| Sort by |
You can choose which column of data to sort the results by. You
can also re-sort the data once the results are shown. |

Some layers will have a list of criteria you can choose. If criteria exist you will be
presented with additional text boxes or pick lists to further refine
the results you return.
