Reporting the “identify” results in an A4 document,

I couldn’t figure out if there is a way to report the results obtained by identify tool in an A4 document.

/customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000elzayEAA

 

/customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000elu8NEAQ

 

Unfortunately, the “report” tool can only include the attributes of one layer while the “identify” tool provides the attributes values of ALL layers at particular point.

Thank you

Best

  If I understand correctly, you want to create a report that pulls data from multiple layers? If so, there are a couple of options.

  1. Depending on where your data are stored, you could set up data links on the main layer and use those in subreports on your main reports.
  2. You could build a workflow that pulls the data you want to put on a report from your active layers.

  Thank you John for the help,

  You have precisely identified what I need to do.

  Just I need to include the results obtained by the “identify” tool in a report. Of course, the “identify” tool displays attribute values of all “turned on” layers at the clicked (or selected) location on the map.

  My dream report is to include these values along with a map that shows the clicked location. What I need is a tool that can be called “Identify Report”.

  Do you have such workflow that you may share?

  I don't have a report or workflow that dynamically chooses which layers to pull data from.

  Reading through some of the help in Workflow Designer, I wonder if you could do it using the Template Report activity. It takes a data table as an input argument. Maybe you could ld write a workflow to query each active layer and then load each resulting feature set into a data table and run the report off of that?

  1. Use Display Capture Geometry to select an area
  2. Query each active layer
  3. Load each feature class into your data table
  4. Run the template report off that data table

  Sorry to be so vague. Conceptually it makes sense to me, but as far execution, it's beyond me for now.

  Thanks John.

  I have very little experience in workflow. I doubt I can do it myself.
