  • 1.  SSA - Future refinements to custom templates

    Hi Andy,

    Am utilising custom information templates and they are working well. With this in mind I have noticed that the templates are repeated fully for each result when clicking on the map.

    Is there another place that I can add links to external services related to a given layer.

    In my template I have added dynamically genera?ted links to view rates for a given property which is great, But the other link I have added is a static link out to Eservices and is great but is repeated unnecessarily I only need this link once.

    cheers

    Can you share this template here @Peter van Dijk? Would need more details to understand the issue.

    ?Hi Krishna, ?

    This is a customised info template so its fired every time a selection is made, I have tested using ng-repeat and ng-repeat-start and the end variant etc

    The file sits within this path customerconfigurations\analyst\theme\infotemplates

    Any advice would be welcome

    cheers

    So when a map object is selected from the layer the info template is parsed and utilised to return which attribute columns you wish to return from the layer data source. This is great because you don't need to reduce your data sources for a layer you can simply use multiple templates to give multiple views of the same data.

    These are templates that are configured via SSA admin.

    Cheers?

    Hi @Peter van Dijk? currently you can place static links within a custom template or within banner across the top of the page. From version 13 (due for release next year) it will be possible to add buttons and links to most other menus and panels within the application.

    Hi @Mitchell Holliday? , that sounds great.

    Just a few questions on the custom template you mention in your post?

    Is this a different template than the custom info templates that I currently use?

    How do I reference it for inclusion?

    The only information I can find within documentation is within the analyst 12 admin guide branding info but this is only for the infotemplates I am already using.

    is there any additional documentation anywhere that takes you through how you can customise the interface?

    cheers

    Hi @Peter van Dijk? the banner is controlled by customized branding. See the instructions on creating a custom brand here. http://support.pb.com/help/analyst/12.0/admin_guide/en/index.html#concepts/branding_banner.html. Since the banner is just HTML you have plenty of control over the style and the content of the banner, so you could insert links to external sites or even other map configurations.

    Hi @Mitchell Holliday?  ok that's great, I had read the branding information but was really trying to only show a static link when a selection is made from a pertinent layer.

    I'm pretty sure the scope of the returned information is isolated so I wouldn't be able to hide or show the links using ng-show etc.

    I'll have a think on what im trying to achieve, Thanks for your advice

    cheers

    Hi Peter, I would suggest you create a button on the top or bottom of the features results using the same template for the static link and redirect or prompt to the new page for the URL that you wanted to integrate. Quick and easy solution for now :)

    Hi @Krishna Bejawada? thanks for your feedback ill take that into consideration as I experiment with what I can achieve.

    cheers
