Alias – the heading displayed for the column.
Width – this will be the width of the column as a percentage of the whole
chart.
Name – this will define the data source for the column. If the column
should display indicator values (i.e. thematically mapped values) the value
should be ‘value’. If the column should display associate values, the Name
should be the name of the associate exactly as in the XML data file(s) for
your dynamic report (e.g. ‘diff’ or ‘baseline’).
If you wish to show symbols, stand alone, in a column you will need to
define the Name as ‘symbol(symbolValue:associate name)’ where
associate name refers to the name exactly as in the XML data file(s) for
your dynamic report (e.g. ‘trend’ or ‘state’). You can define the actual
symbols for the values in the properties section of the Spine Chart
Properties.
If you wish to show symbols and text within the same column you will need
to define the Name as:
symbol(symbolValue:associate name,textValue:value)
Note that “associate name” refers to the name exactly as in the XML data
file(s) for your dynamic report (e.g. ‘trend’ or ‘state’). The “value” refers to
either the indicator value or if you would like it to show the symbol with the
text of an associate value you should change “value” to the associate
name exactly as in the XML data file(s) for your dynamic report (e.g. ‘trend’
or ‘state’).
By default, the name of a selected map feature will be shown in the legend
at the bottom of the spine chart. If you would prefer to see the feature
name in a column in the spine chart you will need to add another row to the
Data Columns section in the Designer and type into the Name column
‘name’. You may then want to disable the property called ‘Display
Selected Area Legend’.
Having multiple time periods for each indicator is optional. If you do have
multiple time periods, we recommend you only show the most recent in the
spine chart (to avoid ending up with too many rows in the chart). The spine
chart is by default set up to only show the latest dates of your data. If you
want to change this setting, you can do that by enabling the property called
In the HTML template, by default the name of a selected map
feature will be displayed in the separate selected features legend
component.
If you are publishing a report using an HTML template, you can also
define the alignment of the symbol using ‘symbolAlign:{right, left,
centre}, for example:
symbol(symbolValue:state,textValue:value,symbolAli
gn:right)
or
symbol(symbolValue:trend,symbolAlign:center)
