MapTip is a very useful Tool to simply identify objects and immediately get precise information on the geometry and on the attribute data of the identified object.
MapTip
•Is able to provide direct access to images related to the object,
•Is able to provide direct access to a Neighbor search,
•Is able to provide direct access to external applications related to the object and
•To add the identified object to the current selection set in the Search result.

Click in map to pin the Map Tip. Click again to delete it.
Layer specific Map Tip configuration
Note: Order of MapTip layers:
1) point features
2) line features
3) polygon features
Order of layers of same geometry is set by the Buffer for points/lines value.
Property |
Description |
Search result for MapTip |
Search result to be used for displaying MapTip identify results. |
Highlight color |
Highlight color to be used for MapTip graphics. |
Transparency level [%] |
Specifies the transparency of the MapTip graphics. |
Minimum scale |
Minimum scale. If the Scale limit is exceeded then no MapTip functionality is available for this Layer any more. If e.g. Scale limit is set to 10000, then MapTip is available up to 10000, from 10001 on it is not available any more. If no MapTip is available this gets displayed in the WebOffice client status bar. |
Maximum scale |
Maximum scale. If the Scale limit is exceeded then no MapTip functionality is available for his Layer any more. If e.g. Scale limit is set to 1000, then MapTip is available down to 1000, from 999 on it is not available any more. If no MapTip is available this gets displayed in the WebOffice client status bar. |

Display time [ms] |
Display time [ms]. If the user does not pin / fix the MapTip window, then the window gets removed again when Display time is over. |
Increasing the buffer distance will make finding of objects easier for the user. The selection graphics will change if you change the buffer distance as well.
 Map Tip Buffer in WebOffice 10 R3 client
Useful to distinguish features if many layers have features with identical geometry. Order in case of feature overlay: 1) point features sorted by buffer ascending 2) line features sorted by buffer ascending 3) polygon features sorted by buffer ascending
Note: Working with many different buffer tolerances will worsen the MapTip performance! Use as few and as small as possible buffer values! |
Layer specific MapTip configuration
Note: With WebOffice 10 R3 no MapTip preparation and no maximum number available MapTip objects is needed any more. MapTips will be generated dynamically
Note: The image displaying the MapTip loading progress of can be configured in the file "synergis_weboffice_user.xml" in 'C:\Tomcat\webapps\<WebOffice-Applikation>\client_workspace\JSXAPPS\weboffice\jss\synergis_weboffice_user.xml'.
<record jsxid="toolmaptip.request.icon" type="" jsxtext="images/toolmaptip_request_32x32.gif"/>
<record jsxid="toolmaptip.request.hotspot.x" type="" jsxtext="20"/>
<record jsxid="toolmaptip.request.hotspot.y" type="" jsxtext="20"/>
Further details can be found in How To Layout.
As mentioned before, MapTip can also be used to show linked pictures of an object. It is also possible to link more pictures to one object. In that case the MapTip result in the WebOffice 10 R3 HTML client offers the possibility to switch between the single pictures (like a photo gallery). The order of the pictures is determined by the order in the configuration of the result field list (from top down).

Note: More details how to configure linked pictures of an object see chapter Integration of external Applications.
