Map Export

The Map Export feature allows end users to export the current map image to a file. Users can select the file format to export to. The following file formats can be exported:

• BMP

• JPEG

• PNG

• TIFF

• GeoTIFF

• PDF

You can allow users to export georeference data with BMP, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF images. GeoTIFF images always includes georeference data. Essentials does not support the export of georeference data with PDFs. The Export tool is available on a viewer's default toolbars, and it can be added or removed from the viewer's Management Pack. You can also create menu items, hyperlinks, or workflows that export the map image using the ShowExportMapDialog command.

Map Export Settings

The Map Export feature has the following settings:

• Allow Including Georeference Data: When this checkbox is selected, the user has the option to include georeference data with the exported map image. Exporting georeference data allows the exported image to be accurately positioned in GIS applications.

  If you do not want the user to be able to export georeference data with the map image, clear the Allow Including Georeference Data checkbox.

• Default Map Output Format: The file format that is initially selected when the user requests a map export. Users can change the file format. After a user has changed the output file format once, the viewer remembers the user's preference.

To configure map export settings for HTML5 viewers:

1. In Manager, edit the site that you want to configure, click GIS Services in the side panel, and then click the Export tab.

2. Configure the settings.

3. Click Apply Changes.

   Your configuration applies to all of the HTML5 viewers in the site.
