The Label Feature tool enables labeling of point, line and polygon objects with content from the feature defined by a Search Result View. (This view must be restricted for free labeling)

Create a label

After activating the Label Feature tool there are several options to be set in the tool dialog before placing a label in the map.

 

Labeling Layer and Labeling Configuration

In a first step choose the Labeling Layer and the Labeling Configuration. All layers with a Label Feature configuration will be listed in the labeling layer drop-down menu. In case you have got more than one specified search result you can choose the desired labeling configuration.

Label Styles

Different label styles are available for the user, if more than one style were configured in WebOffice author standalone.

Labeling Options

In the area Labeling Options, the style of the label can be individually adapted by the user.

Available Labelfields

The user can select single or multiple fields which ought to be used for labeling (i.e. content related or field name). In addition, the user can choose to insert a Splitter as separator for multiple information content (i.e. a comma, dot, hyphen, slash or break). The field order may be changed using the context menu.

 

Whether and which of the available label fields are activated by default can be configured in the WebOffice author standalone with the Sort order/object name parameter.

 

 

To label a feature, the user can click on the desired location (i.e. point or area of interest). A leader line with the feature details will appear. The information can now be placed anywhere in the map by simply clicking on the desired location for the label.

 

Placed Labels

In the Feature Labeling tool menu, a special entry is created for each placed label. By clicking an entry, the appropriate label is going to be selected within the map window and can be removed or edited.

 

Rotate Placed Labels

At the intersection of the leader line and the label text, a point is highlighted when you mouseover, at which the context menu for Rotate Text can be opened by right-clicking. By moving the mouse, the text can be rotated in any direction and the desired setting can be confirmed by clicking.

Append a suffix to the result

WebOffice also offers the possibility to add a suffix to the result during free labeling. The adjustments have to be done directly at the result field as shown in the following figure.

 

 

In the scenario shown above, the Area field should get the suffix m². If here m² is entered into the Suffix field without a space, no space will be displayed in the WebOffice project.

 

 

Optionally, the suffix can be specified with a space. The representation then takes place with a space character.

The suffix is also used in the SaveState and remains visible on the printout.

 

Print or Send Labels by e-mail

By clicking the Print button, the print tool form will open if configured. The free labeling is integrated into the printout.

Clicking Send Email will open your default e-mail pogram. You can send a link with a corresponding status ID by e-mail, which will contain all created labels that were created during the browser session.

Delete a Feature Labeling

There are several options to delete a Feature Labeling:

1.Within the Feature Labeling tool menu, you can delete existing labels by clicking on the red x in the placed labels list to delete one specific user defined label or by clicking the Remove All Labels option.

2.Click the Clear Selection tool to delete ALL existing redlining objects (selections / measurements / markers).
