Zone Lookup allows users to search for an address or use their current location to identify locations that are within a zone or region. With this app, users can learn more about a location and features of interest in the surrounding area. Grouping results by layer provides an organized view of search results. You can also include a screen shot tool to capture images of the map with the search results. (To learn more, see the blog article about using Zone Lookup.)

App capabilities
The following list includes some key settings and capabilities that you can configure for this app:
- Search results—Provides location information with feature attributes from a configured pop-up.
- Results-focused layout—Keeps the map out of the app to maintain focus on the search and results.
- Filter options—Filters data in the map based on predefined options.
- Draw a zone—Allows app users to draw a search zone in the map.
- Use layer effects—Differentiates between features included and excluded in a filter or set of results. Choose a visualization mode for how features are emphasized and de-emphasized when a filter is applied or results are generated.
- Set result map scale—Set a map scale for showing results after a search is performed to override the default map scale.

- Show selected result only—Displays the selected result feature in the map while hiding the other features.
- Selection colors—Choose the fill and outline colors for highlighting selected features in the map.
