Google Layer Name: The name of the Google Maps layer as it will appear
in the legend of your report, provided that the ‘Single Background Mapping
Button?’ option in the map properties of the config file is disabled. In this
example it is called ‘My Google Maps Layer Name’.
Reproject: For a Google Maps background to work, all map layers need to
be in the same projection as Google Maps. This projection is called Web
Mercator Auxiliary Sphere. If you wish the Batch Publisher to re-project
your map layers for you set this property to ‘True’. If your map layers are
already in the same projection as Google Maps, you should set this
property to ‘False’. Please refer to ‘G. Google Maps in InstantAtlas
Reports’ for important information on the re-projection functionality and its
limitations.
Since the demo map files for Edinburgh post code sectors and districts are
not in the Google Maps projection, this property is set to ‘True’ in the
example.
Additional Parameters: This is a place holder for any additional
parameters that you might want to include into your batch reports. Please
leave this blank unless you are told otherwise by your support provider.
F.3. Individual Settings for each Report
It is possible to define individual editable settings for each report created
during the batch publishing process. These settings are defined in the
metadata sheet. For example, if you were creating multiple reports on the
post code sectors of Edinburgh and wished to change the report title of
each individual report to be specific to the generated report then you would
add the following to your metadata sheet (Figure 153)
Figure 153
This will then set each report to have a different title.
It is also possible to use any of the other editable settings defined in the list
of available editable settings for Flash and HTML dynamic reports. If you
wish to find out how to use these then please contact your support
provider.
In reports published with an HTML template there is no property
‘Single Background Mapping Button?’ in the config.xml file. All
background layers will show with their specific name in the legend.
When using an HTML template you will not need to enter an API
key. However there may be some benefits from using an API key
such as allowing you to monitor the Maps API usage in your
dynamic report. Please see the following link for further details:
