Simple Thematic Mapping

 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Using the Simple Thematic Mapping configuration users can change layer symbology on the fly. The principle of the Simple thematic mapping functionality is to apply a symbology style in terms of a layer file to a specific layer of a dynamic map service.

 

Be aware that it is necessary to activate Dynamic Workspaces on the service that is to be used for simple thematic mapping. Open ArcGIS Server Manager and navigate to the Service, then Capabilities and check the box Allow per request modification of layer order and symbology.

Currently, WebOffice 10.2 SP3 supports the following renderer:

•SimpleRenderer
•UniqueRenderer
•ClassBreaksRenderer

 

Currently, WebOffice 10.2 SP3 supports the following symbols:

•SimpleFillSymbol
•SimpleLineSymbol
•SimpleMarkerSymbol
•PictureMarkerSymbol
•CharacterMarkerSymbol
•TextSymbol (in combination with annotation)

 

Note: WebOffice 10.2 SP3 does not support any custom renderers in layer files.

 

Add the Simple Thematic Mapping element below the ArcGIS Layer you want to provide additional mappings for. Then define one or more styles that point to a layer file that is saved on the GIS Server (e.g. <ArcGIS Server location>\directories\WebOfficeLayerFiles).

Property

Description

File path to layer file

The layer file specifies the symbology of the layer to be used.

Note: The configured file path will get resolved on the ArcGIS Server machine. It must therefore be a valid file path on the GIS Server and accessible by the local ArcGIS account (e.g. <ArcGIS Server location>\directories\WebOfficeLayerFiles).

Style name

Specifies the name that will be displayed in the user interface (GUI).
