Online Help Index reports viewing To design a report, use ColdFusion by Allaire (which is shipped with Autodesk MapGuide Server) or another third-party network database connectivity and reporting tool such as Active Server Pages™ (ASP). Specify the data to retrieve for the selected map feature keys and the output format for the report, and then place the report on your web database server. For information about designing reports, refer to the documentation that came with the reporting tool you are using. In addition to the report itself, you need a data source that contains the information you will use in the report. Each record in the data source must either contain a key that matches the key of the spatial feature to which you want it linked, or it must contain coordinates in latitude/longitude format. For more information, see "Specifying Data Source Properties for Layers" on page 153. To add the report to your map, use Autodesk MapGuide Author to specify the report properties, which include a name for the report, the URL location of the report, the map layers that may access the report, and any optional parameters to be sent with the report request. When users view a report, Autodesk MapGuide Author or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer sends a request to the URL defined for that report. The report engine then creates the report for the selected features or points. When you have designed a report and have data for the report, you can add the report to your map.

To design a report, use ColdFusion by Allaire (which is shipped with
Autodesk MapGuide Server) or another third-party network database
connectivity and reporting tool such as Active Server Pages
™
(ASP). Specify
the data to retrieve for the selected map feature keys and the output format
for the report, and then place the report on your web database server. For
information about designing reports, refer to the documentation that came
with the reporting tool you are using.
In addition to the report itself, you need a data source that contains the infor-
mation you will use in the report. Each record in the data source must either
contain a key that matches the key of the spatial feature to which you want
it linked, or it must contain coordinates in latitude/longitude format. For
more information, see
“
Specifying Data Source Properties for Layers

on
page 153.
To add the report to your map, use Autodesk MapGuide Author to specify the
report properties, which include a name for the report, the URL location of
the report, the map layers that may access the report, and any optional
parameters to be sent with the report request.
When users view a report, Autodesk MapGuide Author or Autodesk
MapGuide Viewer sends a request to the URL defined for that report. The
report engine then creates the report for the selected features or points.
When you have designed a report and have data for the report, you can add
the report to your map. You use the Reports tab of the Map Window Proper-
ties dialog box to add reports. For step-by-step instructions, choose

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
requestor or somewhere else, depending on how the report was designed.
