${featureName}: ${indicatorValue}

The ... indicates that it is HTML code (the -tag stands for a

paragraph)

${featureName} and ${indicatorValue} are substitution variables. Their

values are dynamic and change depending on the map feature you mouse

over.

The colon in between the variables is static text. Figure 80 shows how the

default tooltip looks for the post code sector with the name ‘EH14 7’.

Figure 80

You can add any other static text, substitution variables or HTML tags if

you like.

Example 1:

${featureName}: ${indicatorValue}Count:

${count}

In addition to the default area name and indicator value, this code adds

another paragraph (starting on a new line) with ‘Count: ’ as a static text and

the associate with the name ‘count’ as a dynamic value (Figure 81).

Example 2:

${featureName}: ${count}

This will replace the indicator value with the count associate (Figure 82).

Other important map properties in the HTML templates are:

Exportable?

If this box is ticked you will see an export button in the top right hand

corner of the map when you hover with the mouse over it. Clicking

this button will open the map graphic (without background layers) as

an image in a new tab/window of your browser. From there you can

save the image through the right-click menu.

In the config.xml file of an HTML template, the default code of the

Tip property does not include the paragraph tags (...):

${featureName}: ${indicatorValue}
