Purchasing documents

If documents are available for purchase in the map viewer, you can select the items you want to purchase after you set up your account with the Financial Administrator and log in to the map viewer with your user ID.

Documents that are free to view are always available whether you have logged in using your user account or not, but in order to view documents that are for sale, you have to log on using your user ID and password.

After logging on, documents for sale can be accessed in one of the following ways:

•	Clicking the Document Viewer tool from the More Tools button or Work with Map window and then clicking the map to open the Document Viewer window.

•	Clicking the Identify tool and clicking an area on the map. If any documents are for sale, they will display in the More Information window.

•	Clicking and then select Document Viewer in the Results window.
