Through the list, you can create a data item and add it to a data source. The data item
is added to the list and, depending on the data source, can also be added to a map at the same time.
Procedure
- Add an item to the list. In the Add
New Item window, the data item properties reflect the
data source that is selected in the list.
- Complete the appropriate field values of the properties of the data item. Properties that are
marked with an asterisk are required for the successful creation of the new item. Those properties
that are not marked with an asterisk are optional. Depending on the data source configuration, some fields are completed automatically. You must
complete the location field for a data item to display on a map. WKT (Well-known text) is the
required format for entering the latitude and longitude coordinates of positions on the map, in the
order of longitude and then latitude. The allowed length for the field values is defined by the data
source.
- For an item that is represented by a map marker on a geospatial map, in the location field,
enter the word point and the coordinates for the point.
- For an item that is represented by a map marker on a location map,
- in the location field, enter the word point and the coordinates for the
position on the geospatial map
- in the area name field, enter the name of the location map area
- For an item that is represented by a shape on the geospatial map, enter the word
polygon and the coordinates for points that make up the polygon. The first
and last point of the polygon must be the same to ensure that the polygon can be drawn
successfully.
- Click Save to save the item, or Close to
cancel adding the item.
Results
You can view the new item in the list and also on the maps
when the data item has the appropriate properties.
