<< Click to show table of contents >> Navigation: GeoOffice ePaper designer:

With the tab Dictionary you can add any data sources to your project. Likewise you can create relations to the data sources.

The selected data and relations can be subsequently implemented into the template by drag and drop.

By selecting the desired layer in the GIS, the feature class of the layer is automatically taken as data source in the GeoOffice ePaper designer ( see example: Name of the feature class is GST).

Tab "Dictionary"

If an alias is defined for the feature class, the alias is used as the name of the connection and the name of the data source.

Defining an alias for the feature class

Data source name = alias of the feature class

The various data sources of the connection are on the second level:

Dictionary at the example of GIS data

Data (table)	The data table added to the project
Relation (table)	The relation is nothing else then a further table from the data source, in this case the table comes from the GIS data relation. The name of the relation for GIS data sources is composed of the name of the data source and the relation, e.g. GST_SUBAREAS.
Current Map	The current map is a map that can be inserted into the template as component. The current map is rendered with the scale currently set in the project and reflects the currently displayed section.
Feature Map	The feature map refers as opposed to the current map to a selected feature of the selected layer. Different scale settings can be defined for the feature map.
