Alternative to the feature map and the current map, you can include a map by using the image component. The image is inserted as hyperlink and the hyperlink points to a WebOffice project. How to apply this is explained in the following example:

 

The goal is to create a report on traffic accidents. The traffic accidents should be grouped by municipalities. The map should not represent the single traffic accidents, it should represent the municipality with all containing traffic accidents.

 

First, the traffic accident data are inserted. From the table ACCIDENT the data fields STREET, TYPE and KG are required. STREET and TYPE are inserted as text in the data band of the table ACCIDENT (1). The data field KG contains the name of the municipality in which the traffic accident happened. This data field is used as grouping condition for the traffic accidents. The grouping is set in a group header (2). In a group footer (3) the total sum and the sum of the traffic accidents per type get listed.

 

 

 

A look at the preview shows the preliminary result of the report.

 

Next, the map is inserted into the template by using the hyperlink option for the image component. The map is embedded via a service. This requires a map service in a running WebOffice project. The WebOffice project is called by synservice, instead of synserver, which is the standard request.

 

To ensure that the URL delivers the correct map the URL must include special parameters:

•Project
Name of the WebOffice project, e.g. project=Bregenz_Web

•query
Name of the query/search how it is defined in WebAuthor, e.g. query=KG

•keyname
Field name of the query/search, e.g. keyname=KGNAME

•keyvalue
Value of the defined keyname, e.g. keyvalue={ACCIDENT.KG}. The value is different for every feature, therefore the value is dynamically passed by the data field KG.

•format
Return format. To insert the map as image the format image is required.

 

 

The result is shown in the figure below. The URL sets a query on the municipality Rieden. A selection shows and highlights the search result.
