Upgrading the Database for Nearby Query Support

The Nearby Query functionality enables users to search for records, inspections, and asset condition assessments within maps, within one or more selected GIS features, or near one or more selected GIS features from the legacy Accela GIS map viewer. To enable the Nearby Query functionality, you must run the Nearby Query installer to upgrade the Civic Platform database with new geometry information columns.

After the upgrade, you must complete additional configuration. For more information about the configuration, see “Configuring Global Variable Settings” in the Configuring Agency Settings chapter of the Accela Civic Platform GIS Administrator Guide.
