Export Attribute Data

Map Milwaukee: Property Information allows you to quickly access property information. You can also export the

tabular information associated with properties (called attribute data) in a format that can be opened as a

spreadsheet.

These instructions take you through the specific process of acquiring property information. This process can also

be applied to any operational layer in any of the Map Milwaukee applications; this includes layers you may add

from other map services. For example, this process can also be used to pull Census 2010 data from Map

Milwaukee: Census 2010, or collect information about historic sites from the Special_Districts map service.

by clicking the tool icon at the

parcel(s) of interest.

This image illustrates the use of

the Polygon Identify tool.

Once you’ve identified your parcel(s) of interest, you will

see a Results List to the left of the map. The Results List

will display a row for each taxkey found by the Identify

tool (one condominium parcel will return multiple rows).

The number of taxkeys found is shown in parentheses at

the top of the Results List. For more information about

working with the Results List, refer to the Results List Help.

5. By default, your results are displayed as a list. Above

the list, click Table View.

Note: Identify, query, and search results are limited to

1,000 records.

and rows.

Data can be sorted by column values by clicking on the

appropriate column header.

Columns can be reordered by clicking and dragging

column headers to the desired position.

6. Above the table, click Export to CSV and choose where

you want to store your file.

7. Once saved, you can open the CSV file with

spreadsheet software, like Microsoft Excel.

Note: Changes made to the table in Map Milwaukee, like

column sorts or column reordering, are not reflected in

the exported CSV file.
