Description of Layout Types and Their Requirements

VertiGIS Studio Printing recognizes four different types of layout (.pagx). The type of a layout is determined by a specific type keyword in the AGOL/Portal item.

The type keywords for the specific layouts are:

• Cover Layout --> VertiGIS Page Cover
• Overview Layout --> VertiGIS Page Overview
• Default Layout --> VertiGIS Page Default
• Legend Layout --> VertiGIS Page Legend

In general, only layouts of type 'Default' can be printed as a single page. Cover, Overview and Legend layouts can only be printed if they are part of a MapBook or a Layout Package.

Each layout type has different minimum requirements for qualifying as the desired type. These requirements are enforced when layout sharing is initialized in VertiGIS Studio Desktop, and the sharing process will abort if they are not met.

The requirements for each page type are as follows:

Cover Page Type

• Can't contain any layout element of type "Map Frame"
• Can't not contain any layout element of type "Table Frame"

Overview Page Type

• Must contain a main "Map Frame" element (named as "WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME")
• The given "Map Frame" element can't relate to a map
• Can't contain any layout element of type "Table Frame"

Default Page Type

• Must contain a main "Map Frame" element (named as "WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME")
• The given "Map Frame" element can't relate to a map

Legend Page Type

• Must contain a layout element of type "Legend"
• If a "Map Frame" element is included, it must be set to invisible
  • The element of type "Legend" must relate to the hidden "Map Frame" element
• Can't contain any layout element of type "Table Frame"
