Include legend in a report template that uses a map picture box

I have a report template that uses a map picture box. The report is generated using studio workflow for web app builder and will include the current map from the application upon execution of the report. I have been searching for an option to include a legend in my report that will include all the active layers within my map. Does anyone have a way of doing this? Is it even possible to do using reporting and workflow?

  Hey Jeffrey Garcia-Cartagena the map picture box is intended for a single feature. It doesn't show graphics layers or the user's markup or selections, or have a legend.

  Our VertiGIS Studio Printing product is intended for print output of a map including markup, all visible layers in the map. 

  You can combine a print output and a report output into a single report using a Workflow. I don't have a readily accessible example, but here's some docs:

  • running a report from workflow
  • running a print form workflow
  • Merge PDFs activity docs

  I could build out an example workflow if it helps as well.

  Hi Gareth Evans,

  Thank you, this is exactly what I needed! The documentation is very helpful! I've been attempting to create this workflow on my own, an example workflow would be great to reference. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the merge PDFs activity within my current workflow toolbox. Are there any additional steps I need to complete to make that activity available to me?

  Thank you,

  Jeffrey Garcia

  I too would be very interested to see an example workflow. I'm currently trying to figure this out as well.

  Thank you,

  Hi Jeffrey Garcia-Cartagena and Eliza Whiting thanks for your patience here. I had thrown this together and neglected to post it, until a colleague inquired.

  Here's a quick POC workflow: https://vertigis-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/gevans_latitudegeo_com/EjRdDfGXrD1MgUQ1G9M6PtIBnYDUZzhUYfpH8wF14y5JwQ?e=JsWdWI

  It looks like this:
  

  Note this is a server-side workflow that would need to be called from a client side workflow to work in that context. It's also relatively basic, you'd want to adapt this logic and formatting to suit your needs.

  Gareth Evans Hey Gareth, I'm also interested in this, but the link is dead, any chance this gets renewed?
