 If you are not able to see the WMS background once the report is

saved on a web server but it is working with a local copy of the

report, it may be that your WMS does not provide a cross-domain

policy file. This file is required if you are using Flash Player version

11.4 or higher. Please read this article for further information:

B.3.5.3. Adding Images from a ArcGIS Server Map Service

The ArcGIS Server option allows you to incorporate background mapping

from a service in ArcGIS Server such as ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Online

provides ready-to-use map services with coverage for many countries.

You can find more information about ArcGIS Online here:

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-online-map-and-

geoservices/map-services.html

As an example of incorporating ArcGIS Online maps you can click the

ArcGIS Server option and paste the URL below into the box:

http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/Map

Server?

The way the Publisher handles ArcGIS Server map services is very similar

to WMS connections. Please refer to the previous section to get further

information on this. You will, however, not be able to choose a different

background colour for your ArcGIS Server map service.

B.3.5.4. Adding Images from Google Maps

There is a dedicated section in this user guide available explaining how to

create an InstantAtlas report with a Google Maps background. Please

refer to section ‘G. Google Maps in InstantAtlas Reports’.

When you have finished choosing your background image settings, click

the ‘Next’ button. Alternatively, click the ‘Back’ button to return to the

‘Choose Your Contextual Geographies’ screen.

B.3.6. Choose Settings For Your Dynamic Report

This step of the publishing process involves specifying editable settings for

your dynamic report. The properties available will depend upon the

template you chose for your report. The language they appear in will

depend upon the language you chose to publish your report in. You can

click and drag the divider between the ‘Property’ and ‘Value’ column

headings to change the width of the columns. An example of the

‘Standard’ settings can be seen in Figure 51.

Flash Player Security will not be an issue when using an HTML

template as they do not need the Flash Player to run.
