1.Configure data source options as follows:
•Name: Enter a name for the data source.
•Data Source Type: Choose the data source type to use as the basis for your chart. Select from the following options:
•Map Service: Select this option if you want to base your chart on a map service.
•Custom: Select this option if you want to base your chart on a layer.
•Workflow: Select this option if you want to base your chart on an external workflow (created in VertiGIS Studio Workflow) that will return feature set data at run-time and display it in the chart.
The Point of Interest data source type is required for the configuration of the default POI band only. Do not select this for your own data source.
Map Service data source configuration
•The Map Service value is automatically set to the URL specified in the Map Options panel.
•From the Layer drop-down list, select the map layer from which your chart will draw its data.
The layer must have a measure value field—or begin and end measure values if a linear feature layer, and a foreign key field that matches the unique ID field in the centerline layer.
The Designer populates the drop-down lists in the Data Sources panel with information found in the selected layer.
To complete your map service data source configuration, follow the instructions in the Map Service and Custom data source configuration settings table below.
Custom data source configuration
•In the Layer URL text box, enter the URL of the map layer from which your chart will draw its data.
The map layer must have a measure value field—or begin and end measure values if a linear feature layer, and a foreign key field that matches the unique ID field in the centerline layer.
To complete your custom data source configuration, follow the instructions in the table below.

Description |
|---|---|
Layer URL |
The URL of the map layer from which your chart will draw its data. Must have a measure value field, or begin and end measure values if a linear feature layer, and a foreign key field that matches the unique ID field in the centerline layer. |
Unique ID Field |
The name of the layer's unique ID field. For ArcGIS layers and tables this can be OBJECTID, but another unique ID field may be used if one exists. |
Centerline Join Field |
The name of the layer's centerline foreign key field. |
Data Type |
The type of data that will be displayed. Choose Point for point and line charts and Linear for linear charts. |
Depending on the type of layer you selected, specify a measure field or begin / end measure fields (shown below). |
|
Measure Field |
The field to use for the X axis values |
Begin / End Measure |
The fields that hold the measure values of the start and end of the linear feature data on which the chart is based. |
Use Custom Definition Query |
(Optional) Enable this option if you want to filter the data displayed in the view by constructing a custom definition query WHERE clause. |
Definition Query: |
Enter a WHERE clause that specifies the subset of data to display on the chart. To reset the query to the default auto-generated query, click the |
Refresh button.Workflow data source configuration
•Select the appropriate Workflow Source:
•URL: Enter the workflow URL.
You can copy/paste the URL directly into the text box, or click Import to browse your ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS content and select the appropriate workflow.
The URL is added to the Workflow Arguments section.
•Action: From the drop-down list, select the action that is configured to call the workflow you want to use.
See Work with Actions.
•Data Type: Specify whether the workflow source includes point or linear data.
•Point: Specify the Measure Field—the field to use for the X axis values.
•Linear: Specify the Begin Measure Field and End Measure Field—the fields that hold the measure values of the start and end of the linear feature data on which the chart is based.
2.Click Apply.
The new data source displays on the Chart Options panel, in the Data Source drop-downlist.
