Report Creation

Permanently deleted user

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Geocortex and every other facet of GIS for that matter.

Have managed to dig up enough information to get through some more complex workflows however am finding a severe lack of documentation on how to use report designer.

Other than the code samples which I can get most of them to half work is there some documentation somewhere that I do not know of on how to properly design and setup reports and for report consumption via workflow (yes I've seen examples in code samples) but no where have i see how that's administered in the RestManager.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks!

    Hi Brennan,

    For documentation on how to use the Report Designer tool, use the built-in Help for the program itself.  You can open it from the Help menu ("Open Help") or by opening the CHM file:

    C:\Program Files\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\Report Designer\Geocortex Report Designer.chm

    For documentation on how to administer reports in REST Manager, you can use the online help within the Manager tool.  There are two distinct locations where reports are consumed in an Essentials site: Print Templates, and Layer Reports.  Print Templates describe how to draw an onscreen map, and Layer Reports operate under the assumption that some rows of data in the layer have been made available and you wish to generate a report based on that data.

    Within REST Manager, you can navigate to the layer configuration or print configuration pages and click the help icon (a question mark in a blue circle) in the upper-right of the panel.  These help pages should provide further information on how the templates work and are invoked.

    The Report workflow activity is intended to fire off a layer report (rather than a print template).  That's why it has all the extra inputs, we need to determine which features you want the be reporting on.  You could generate a print template from a workflow using the Print Map workflow activity.

    Regards,

    -Malcolm

    I'm having similar struggles with the documentation, it is basically useless. Does anyone have some tips or can point to some helper sites for the correct syntax to calculate a field for example? The following line is plagerized from one of the sample reports and it throws an error when I try and run it:

    (VECTOR.DBO.tblAssessorSecured.SITUSNUM.ToString().Trim() != "" ? VECTOR.DBO.tblAssessorSecured.SITUSNUM + " " : "") + (VECTOR.DBO.tblAssessorSecured.SITUSSTREET.ToString().Trim() != "" ? VECTOR.DBO.tblAssessor.SITUSSTREET + " " : "").

    Unfortunately, there's nothing in the Help file that descibes how to construct caclulated fields.

    Hi Patrick,

    Calculated fields are constructed using C# expressions. Please see (https://support.geocortex.com/using-field-expressions-in-the-geocortex-report-designer) this Knowledge Base Article for more examples. While the article describes putting the expressions directly into the DataField property of a textbox, you can also put the expressions in the Formula property of a Calculated Field if you intend to use the field multiple times.

    The Geocortex Report Designer uses Active Reports underneath, so you may find the link in the article to the Active Reports User Guide helpful as well.
