Export Driving Directions in a Report

Denise Beckham
I am trying to find a way to export driving directions generated from creating a route with my network analyst service. 

 

I already found out how to show directions in a display form, thanks to this post (https://support.geocortex.com/essentialsGSCForum?sub-nav=forum&main-nav=essentials&#!/feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_DETAIL&criteria=ALLQUESTIONS&id=9066000000007UcAAI) , but it blocks the map. The graphics layer for the route also can't be created until after the driving directions are  displayed, so even if the map were visible, the route wouldn't be shown until after clearing the display form.

 

I also found this workflow with reports and began studying it, but I don't think it really applies to this situation.  I also don't have much experience with Report Designer.

 

Any ideas on how to export the driving directions (currently a string variable) to a report would be greatly appreciated!

    This is the workflow/report sample I found in the code gallery (https://support.geocortex.com/essentialsGSCCodeGallery?sub-nav=codegall&main-nav=essentials&criteria=BESTANSWERS&id=kA4600000004EXN#) .

    Hi Denise,

     

    Regarding the directions in the display form blocking the map, this can be avoided by changing the Workflow Container. See this article for more details:

    To have the directions exported to a report, you are on the right track - in the workflow/report sample you referenced, scroll down to the bottom of the Flowchart and find the sequence "Create Report Sequence". The first few activities in that sequence define the data to pass to the template. Then, the "TemplateReport" activity takes in a URI for a report template and a DataSet to populate that template. Finally, the CreateTempFile activity puts the report into a PDF file. 

     

    If you still get stuck feel free to open a support case by emailing support@latitudegeo.com and a support analyst will be happy to help you.

     

    Thanks,

    Aaron,

     

    Thank you so much for your response! That information helped me understand workflow containers much better.

     

    I started playing with the MultiLayerReportWithMap workflow to try to get it to work as it's designed before I start trying to apply it to my workflow.  However, I don't know what to put for the Template Uri in the TemplateReport activity.  I've tried saving the templates in several different places, including the Sites Directory, the C drive on my computer, and a network drive.  No matter what I try, I get an error telling me either that it "Could not find a part of the path" or that "Access to the Path... is Denied".  After looking at another post, I also tried "gcxfile:///Resources/Reports/MultiLayerMapReport.rpx", but it gave me a protocall failure.  What is the proper way to enter a Uri in this activity?

     

    Thanks,
