Home	Home button brings the application back to the full extent of California. This view will look like the one when the application first starts up.
Map Layer	Map Layer button opens the Map Layer Menu. On the Map Layer Menu, select/deselect map layer(s) to be displayed on the map. Options for well layer and street layer are available at levels where wells and the street layer are visible. By default, selected wells are labeled with the last three digits of API Numbers, which are numbers that uniquely identify all wells in DOGGR's well database, and users now have the option to label selected wells with either last three digits of API Numbers or Well Numbers. See Layer Dictionary for layer information. Note: The street layer is provided by DOC's spatial server to replace ESRI Street Map. This layer replaces ESRI Street Map at level 11; this layer is not visible otherwise. This option is only enabled at level 11. See the Road Legend to better understand the street symbology at this level.
Well Option	Well Option button opens the Well Option Menu. On the Well Option Menu, select/deselect by well type and/or well status to make wells visible/invisible on the map. By default, all wells are checked and displayed on the map. A well type or a well status can be clicked on to select/deselect an entire row or column. Click on Well to select/deselect the entire grid of options. In addition, a tip appears when the mouse pointer hovers over a Well Type. (See Appendix II for well type information.)
Load Wells	Load wells button adds all wells within the current map extent to the Well List and keeps those wells selected. The button will not remove wells that are already in the Well List. If the map is moved, extent change, this button must be clicked on again to get all the wells in the new extent. If there are more than 500 wells within the current map extent, the application will reduce the size of the extent and query again. The process will be repeated until the number of wells found is less than 500 or the map extent is 5% of its original size. Then, the application prompts the users to decide whether they want to zoom in to the reduced map extent or remain at the current map level. Note: The button is only active at map levels where wells are visible - levels 8, 9, 10, and 11.
Print	Print the map and well list (if wells are selected in the well list) up to 50 wells, and . To learn more about printing, check How to Print section.
Basemap Switch	Basemap Switch allows users to select a basemap type (Streets, Topo, or Imagery). To learn detailed information about these three basemaps, visit the DOMS Layer Dictionary. Note: Because the topographic map is not available at levels 10 and 11, the Topo Button is disabled at these levels as shown below, and the basemap will switch to street map automatically if Topo is selected before going to levels 10 or 11.

Well List

Remove - Remove Selected Well(s) Select All - Select all wells in the list. Note: Single click to select a well and to display its popup infowindow. If the well is outside the map area, the browser will automatically center the well in the Map Area. Also, if the well is not visible at the given map level, it will automatically zoom to map level 8 where wells become visible. In addition, Ctrl/Shift + Click can be used to selected multiple wells.

The Overview Map uses satellite imagery as the basemap. The green rectangle represents the map extent of the Map Area, and red dots represents selected wells. (Note: Only first 50 selected wells will be displayed in the Overview Map.)

Map Navigation
Map navigation includes both mouse and keyboard interaction.
Map navigation using mouse:

• Drag to pan map by clicking and holding left mouse button.
• Press Shift and click map to recenter on clicked location.
• Use mouse scroll forward to zoom in at current mouse location.
• Use mouse scroll backward to zoom out at current mouse location.
• Press Shift and click and drag to draw a rectangle around an area to zoom in. To zoom out, press Alt and Shift when drawing the rectangle.

Map navigation using keyboard:

• Pan using the arrow keys.
• Press the + key to zoom in at center of map.
• Press the - key to zoom out at center of map.

Zoom Slider

Zoom Slider is used to zoom in/out and to indicate the current map level. The blue bar indicates those levels (8, 9, 10, and 11) where wells are visible. Click on the level indicator arrow to see a tooltip that shows the map scale. For more range and scale information, go to Appendix I: Zoom Slider Scale & Range.

The road legend at level 11 Note: At level 11, ESRI Street Map is currently only available in four major metropolitan areas - Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and the Bay Area. Therefore, DOC provides its own GIS services to replace ESRI Street Map at level 11.

Built-in Search Options

	Click Find Tab Select Well API Number Key in a well's API Number in input box Hit Enter key or click Find Note: An API Number is an 8-digit number that uniquely identifies each well, in other words, a well ID number.

Click Find Tab Select Public Land Survey System Input the Principle Meridian, Township, Range, and Section Click Find Note: The application will automatically add all wells to the Well List.

	Click Find Tab Select A Point by Lat, Long (NAD83) Key in both Latitude and Longitude in input boxes Hit Enter key or click Find

Note: The ranges of both Latitude and Longitude are limited to the extent of California.
(That is roughly, 32.0 < Latitude < 40.5 and -126.0 < Longitude < -112.5).
Also, the negative and positive signs are not needed when entering either latitude and longitude. DOMS assumes signs appropriate to California.

Manual Search

Navigate the map to a location in California; be sure the map is at level 8 or higher* on the Zoom Slider so wells can be visible.
When you find the well(s):

• Hit the Load Wells button on the DOMS Control Bar to get a list of all wells in the Map Area.

OR

• Click on a well in the Map Area to look up information of an individual well and add the well to the well list.

* Level 11 is at the top of the Zoom Slider. See Appendix I for more information on the level of the Zoom Slider and the scale it represents.

How to Print

• Click Print on DOMS Control Bar. Your print dialogue window will come up.
  (Note: Only the first 50 selected wells will be printed. Also, printing is designed for portrait orientation.)

1. Click File Menu > Print. Use the Print Dialogue Wizard.
2. Click File Menu > Print. Print to PDF. (Must have Acrobat Professional.)
3. Hit Alt + Print Scrn to capture a screen shot of the active window > Open a new word processing document > Right click Paste to paste the screen shot > Print the document

Additional Information

• Well data are updated on the first week of every even month.
• Well production data are only available since 1977.
• DOMS is optimized for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.
• DOMS minimum screen size: 1024x768.
• DOMS optimized minimum screen size: 1280x1024.
• Unlike regular webpages, Flash stores/displays information within the application, so traditional ways of browsing webpages with Back/Forward buttons cannot be utilized in the DOMS, and once the browser is closed, all browsing information will no longer exist. (That is, there is no going back.)
