The sample interface that comes with Products on Demand (PoD) highlights the capabilities of the technology through a few tools that allow you to define, create, and export information products on demand.

There are two methods for product creation, Custom Product and Fixed Product.

メモ:

Custom Product is the default web application configuration. Fixed Product must be set in the PoD configuration file when deploying the application.

Changing display settings

You can change all supported Maritime Chart Service display settings before exporting your product.

メモ:

From 10.8.1, the Display Settings pane is not available for the Fixed Product type and can be disabled by the web administrator.

1. Click the Change display properties button to open the Display Settings window.
2. Change either your Depth Contour (Meters) or Miscellaneous properties and see your display change based on the new values.

All display property changes are reflected on your exported product.

Adding layers

You can add layers to a map in any of the following ways:

• Search ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.
• Enter a URL.
• Load local files.

メモ:

The added layers are exported in a PDF file. You need to sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise account to add content from your organization.

This is only available for Custom Product configuration.

   • Click the File tab and browse through files you want to add locally.

     メモ:

     Shapefiles in ZIP, CSV, GPX, GeoJSON, and KML format are supported in ArcGIS Online.

Turning layers on and off

The Layer List pane provides a list of operational layers and their symbols and allows you to turn individual layers on and off. Each layer in the list has a check box that allows you to control its visibility. You can also set the transparency of each layer.

The order in which layers appear in the Layer List pane corresponds to the layer order in the map. This pane provides functionality allowing you to change the order of layers in the map.

The visibility, transparency, and order of the layers set in the Layer List pane is reflected on your exported product.

メモ:

Only the layers that are turned on are exported in the PDF file.

This is only available for the Custom Product configuration.

1. Click the Layer list button .

   The Layers pane appears.

2. Click the options button next to the chosen layer, and choose from one from the following options:
   • Zoom to—Sets the map extent to the extent of the layer.
   • Transparency—Sets the transparency for the layer.
   • Enable pop-up and Disable pop-up—Enables or disables the pop-up for the feature layer. If a feature layer does not have a pop-up configured in the map, clicking Enable pop-up shows all field values for the feature layer.
   • Hide labels and Show labels—For hiding or showing labels for feature layers.
   • Move up—Moves the layer one level up.
   • Move down—Moves the layer one level down.
   • Description—Opens the service description or the item details page for the service or the item associated with the layer if available.
