Envirocheck Masterclass - Article 1

Welcome to the first in a series of Envirocheck Masterclass articles.

Our aim is to help you save time, improve accuracy and enhance your outputs when using Envirocheck. Our first Masterclass deals with locating your site for your report.

The Envirocheck Masterclass is run in conjunction with our free Masterclass webinars, which demonstrate the features in action.  To register for the next free webinar click here.



Uploading a shape file to locate your site


You can search for your site by entering the address information. Alternatively, you can upload a shape file directly to Envirocheck and immediately view your mapping with the polygon of your site pre-drawn.  


View your site from various map layers  


There are three zoom options available to you on the Envirocheck mapping screen which enable you to zoom in to improve your scale and also view four available mapping layers (Road Atlas, Town, Street and Detail) these are:
  • The slider bar
  • The plus and minus options on the slider bar
  • Your mouse wheel 

Roaming around your map



There are three different methods of roaming around your map in Envirocheck. These are:
  • Place your cursor on the map, hold down the left-click button on the mouse and drag the map in your chosen direction.
  • Click on the grey arrows on each side and at each corner of the map.
  • Use the red box in the map area in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to roam around the map.


Obtaining addresses for sites on your map 

To update the address for your report or to check the address of a property on the map, simply move the desired site into the centre of the screen (using the roam options mentioned above). Then click on the “Get address from centre” tab on the left hand side of the screen.
NOTE: The address shown on the left hand side will be the address displayed on your report so always ensure the correct address for your site is shown here before you move on to the next stage of ordering.
