Help Index reports viewing Viewing a Report When users want to view a report, Autodesk MapGuide Author or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer sends a request to the URL defined for the report, sending as parameters the map feature keys that you specified and any optional parameters defined for the report. The report engine extracts the data from sources on the server, creates the report, and then sends it either to the user or somewhere else, depending on how the report was designed. You use the View Report command to view a report for selected features or for a specific point you click in the map. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "reports, viewing." Tracking User Access to a Map Help Index tracking ID To keep track of access to your map, you can set a tracking ID that is stored with the map. When users access a map that has a tracking ID, every action they perform (such as panning or zooming) can be logged by Autodesk MapGuide Server. Using Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin, you can then run a report to monitor usage based on the tracking ID. This can be useful, for example, if you want to charge customers for using your maps. You use the Security tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to specify a tracking ID for a map. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "tracking ID." Saving a Map Help Index saving maps Saving your map as a Map Window File (MWF) is the last step in creating your map. However, as with all software applications, it is a good idea to save periodically to avoid lost work if your system fails. 150 | Chapter 8 Creating and Publishing a Map
