For Windows XP the folder can be found in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\GeoWise\Instant
Atlas\templates
For Windows Vista and Windows 7 the default folder is located at:
C:\ProgramData\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\templates
In all example Publisher worksheets we have used the following (default
windows Vista) location:
‘C:\ProgramData\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\templates\InstantAtlasSingleFlash6
.5.2.zip’
An example location of a version 6 single map template on Windows XP
would therefore be:
‘C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\GeoWise\Instant
Atlas\templates\InstantAtlasSingleFlash6.5.2.zip’
Config File: optionally you can enter the full pathname for a custom
configuration file (config.xml) that you wish to be used for the published
reports. If you do not enter a pathname, the template default configuration
file will be used.
In all example Publisher worksheets this is ‘C:\config.xml’.
Stylesheet: optionally you can enter the full pathname for a custom style
sheet (default.css) that you wish to be used for the published reports. If
you do not enter a pathname, the template default style sheet will be used.
In all example Publisher worksheets this is ‘C:\default.css’.
Base File: This setting is made up of:
1. the full pathname for the digital map file (ESRI shape file, MapInfo
MID/MIF, MapInfo TAB file) containing the base geography for the
series of reports you wish to publish,
2. the feature code field in your base geography digital map file (note
that this field is case sensitive and that the codes of your digital
map file must be exactly the same as those in column A of the
Geography and Filters worksheet),
3. the feature name field in your base geography digital map file (note
that this field is case sensitive) and
4. optional - the label for the base geography that will be displayed in
the legend of your published reports. If you do not specify a label,
the layer will be shown in the legend with its original map file
name.
These parameters must be delimited by a ‘+’ sign.
In all example Publisher worksheets the selected digital map file is an ESRI
shape file called ‘post_code_sectors.shp’ that contains post code sector
boundaries for Edinburgh. This file is saved onto your computer during the
installation of InstantAtlas. The default location is C:\Program
Files\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\maps
ESRI shape files have a .shp file extension (e.g. districts.shp). MapInfo
interchange (also referred to as MID/MIF) files have a .mif file extension
(districts.mif). MapInfo Table files (TAB files) have a .tab extension
(districts.tab). All are accompanied by supporting files. You must have a
digital map file in one of these formats to be able to publish a dynamic
report (a .shp .mif or .tab file). You will also need a .dbf file with the same
