Show Background Mapping
You can also make background mapping layers visible by default by ticking
the box of the ‘Show Background Mapping’ property.
Background Folder
If you are using a background image collection as your background layer
and you want to keep the background images saved in a different location
than your report files, you can define the path to the folder which includes
the background images in the property ‘Background Folder’.
Base Layer Data
If you want the map to show the values of an associate column instead of
the indicator value by default you can define this in the property called
‘Base Layer Data’. Make sure that the name you type in here is identical to
the associate column name in the data.xml file.
Map Copyright
If you use Map data which requires a copyright reference, please do not
forget to write this in the ‘Map Copyright’ property.
List of Layers Displaying Tips
If you wish to show a tooltip for your contextual layers displaying e.g. the
name of the geographic feature, you can do this by editing the ‘List of
Layers Displaying Tips’ property. When you click the ‘Value’ column for
this property a popup window will appear. This property needs to contain
the IDs of all contextual layers for which you would like to enable tips. You
can find the IDs listed in the map.swf.xml file in the output folder of your
dynamic report. This file can be viewed using a text editor (e.g. Textpad).
Contextual layers will have an entry in map.swf.xml similar to the following:
<contextual-layer
xmlns="http://swf.instantatlas.com/supplement"
When using an HTML template you can change the data which is
loaded into the map and legend in the General Properties. This
setting is called ‘Data’.
When using an HTML template background layers are switched on
by default. After the report has been published you can change this
by editing the map.js file in a text editor.
When using an HTML template the visibility of map layers is set in
the layer properties in the Publisher. After the report has been
published you can change these settings by editing the map.js file in
a text editor.
