Customizing the Popup Menu Online Help Index popup menu customizing The map window popup menu provides quick access to map window commands from the menus and toolbar buttons. You can customize all but the first item on the popup menu by adding or deleting commands, or by modifying the actions assigned to specific commands. The changes you make to the popup menu in Autodesk MapGuide Author will appear when users view your maps using Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. If you have your own online help system that you want to use for your Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, you can specify it in the popup menu. Note The first item on the menu is always Properties in Autodesk MapGuide Author; however, Properties does not appear on the menu in Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. You use the Popup Menu tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to customize a map's popup menu. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "popup menu, customizing." Working with Reports Online Help Index reports adding to maps You can design customized reports for your map. When you link a report to a layer, an Autodesk MapGuide Viewer or Author user can select features on that layer and then generate the report for those selected features. You can also add reports that are not linked to any layer, so that when the user clicks a point on the map, the report is generated for that point. Reports can include data such as population, total sales, a URL link to a related web page, or any other data you want to associate with a feature. 142 | Chapter 8 Creating and Publishing a Map
