General information about identification templates

Information displayed in the identification card can be organized differently depending on used identification templates. You can select either predefined system templates or create your own user templates.

To define settings of identification cards for your future mobile map, press Customize identification templates button on CarryMap Builder toolbar.

The list of available templates is shown in the left part of the tool dialog.

With Customize identification templates tool you will be able to create, filter and delete templates, as well as specify their view. Depending on your ArcMap project, you can specify additional settings for already created template. To do so, press Customize map extraction and go to Template settings section.

Both system and user identification templates are windows divided to separate information blocks as stripes. Type of displayed data, as well as display order in stripes are strictly defined.

You can add the following stripes to the user template that you created:

• All attributes – this type of stripe is used to display the full attribute table of the feature with all fields (excluding hidden fields). You can specify text (font and size) and background (color) parameters and select the information display view (table or stripe), and show/hide empty attribute table fields.

Note that in the settings window for the table template it is possible to select different display styles for header and value. To do so, in the Template settings window set the required settings in the appropriate sections.

• Attachments by specific fields with link – this stripe is provided to display all the attachments to objects (images, videos, audios, documents etc.). To select which type of attachment should be displayed, check the boxes near the needed items. Note that this template can be used even if you have ArcGIS Basic license, which does not support creation of tables with attachments. To set display of attachments by links from the fields, go to Map section of Customize map extraction window.

In Identify section select the template where to the correspondent stripe has been added.

In the appeared window select fields, by which values it is needed to display attachments in the identification card.

• Feature attachments – this type of stripe is used to display all attachments to features (photo, video, audio, documents, etc.). You can specify which types of attachments should be displayed, to do so check the box near the required items.

- In a preview mode – photos will be shown as clickable thumbnails and the other attachments will be shown in the list.

- In full size – photos will be shown in full size, video and audio as media players and all other attachments arranged in the list.

• HTML code – this type of stripe is used to display attribute tables same as it has been specified using HTML script.

By default by adding the HTML code stripe, the following HTML script will be used:

<div>

<table border="1px" width="100%">

<caption><b style="color: green "> Caption </b></caption>

<tr>

<td width="50%"> Field1 </td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>
