In the example with the Edinburgh post code data you should export the

workbooks for the first two layers (post code districts and post code sector

centroids) into two separate folders. During the export the Excel Data

Manager creates five split data files for each workbook (Figure 154).

Figure 154

In the workbook of the last base geography layer enter in the ‘Publisher’

worksheet under ‘Base File’ a semi-colon delimited list of all base

geography layers together with their code field, name field and alias. The

order needs to be the same as the order you wish to see them in the

report.

In the ‘Data File Folders’ property enter a semi-colon delimited list of

absolute paths to the folders containing the data split files of all base layers

besides the last one. The order needs to be the same as for the ‘Base

Files’.

In the example with the Edinburgh post code data the ‘Publisher’

worksheet would be part of the workbook which contains the data for the

Edinburgh pot code sector boundaries. The entries for the ‘Base Files’ and

‘Data File Folders’ would look like in Figure 155.

If required you may set a border width for your base geography layers or

contextual layers using ‘layerBorderWidth’ in the ‘Editable Settings’

property. Please note that the values are assigned first in the order of the

base layers and then to the contextual layers in their order. For the

example with the Edinburgh post code data a setting of

‘layerBorderWidth=1;2;1;3;2’ would result in the following:

Post Code Districts border width of 1px

Post Code Sector Centroids border width of 2px

Post Code Sectors border width of 1px

First contextual layer border width of 3px

Second contextual layer border width of 2px
