Configuration of a print template

Configuration of a print template

 

Property

Description

Template ID

Template ID of WebOffice plot template.

Corresponds to the file name of the layout file (.mxd) without specifying the file extension.

If e.g. the print template file is named 'A4 portrait.mxd', then the template ID is 'A4 portrait', i.e. the file name without extension.

Note: The templates for this PrintingTool will be read from the ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates).

Note: Do not use any special characters in the print template file name like ä, ö, ü, ß etc.

Print template name

Print template name displayed in WebOffice 10.5 SP2 clients.

Print scales

Optionally specifies the available print scales and the preselected (default) print scale.

Print scale values get delimited by "|", so if you e.g. want to provide a choice of print scales 1000, 2500, 5000 and 10000 then use 1000|2500|5000|10000.

Note: The first value provided in the list of values gets preselected. 

Note: Use the following values for preselecting special predefined print scales:

CE: current extent

CS: current scale

FS: no scale will be preselected when provided as first value (free scale)

Note: Use the variable "FS" only in combination with the parameter "Allow Free Scale?" set to "Yes".

 

Example: When defining the print scales "FS|CS|5000|10000" the user will have the option to choose between "current extent" as well as the scales "5000" and "10000". Additionally, none of the predefined scales will be preselected and the user may enter a free scale.

Allow Free Scale?

Specifies whether the user is allowed to define a free print scale on projects with predefined scale levels (Yes) or not (No/default).

Allow reprojection?

Specifies whether this template can be used with an alternative spatial reference. When using reprojection, Print series and Index Plot are disabled.

Note: You have to configure a List of Projections within your printing tool to enable this option.

DPI resolution

Resolution for print out (in DPI) when choosing high resolution in Print tool form.

The value is usually a multiple of 96 (192 or 288). The low resolution print out works with screen resolution (96 DPI).

Do high resolution print by default?

Specifies whether to check the high resolution option in print tool form for this print format by default or not.

Template unit

Unit that was used to define the size of the template.

It must correspond to the unit that was set in Arcmap when the template was saved.

See the ArcMap setting under "ArcMap Options"->"Layout View"->"Rulers"->"Units".

Legend switchable?

Specifies whether the user is allowed to decide whether a legend shall be printed or not.

This value is only used if the current template supports printing a legend.

Legend default status?

Specifies whether per default a legend shall be printed or not.

This value is only used if the current template supports printing a legend.

If 'Legend switchable?' is active, the user will be able to overrule this value in the GUI.

The set of predefined function fields in WebOffice author comprise:
