Publisher Training Guide – Developing in Publisher – Creating a Map

Prev  Next  Menu

Like all other Publisher report types, a map starts with defining a report:devpub_creating_map1

The report SQL is:

SELECT ff.facility_id,

ff.facility_code,

ff.facility_name,

ff.description,

ff.status from

fam_facility ff

The resulting report will look something like:

devpub_creating_map2

To link to google maps the Report SQL needs the Facility_ID but this value is not meaningful to users so it should not be displayed:

devpub_creating_map3

 

  1. Concepts of the Map
    A Map is a particular kind of chart.
  2. Basic Map Creation
    To create a Map click the devpub_basic_map_creation1 button and then the Edit Selected Chart button:
    devpub_basic_map_creation2

    devpub_basic_map_creation3
    Click the Save button and the box on the right will change to something like:
    devpub_basic_map_creation4
