150 Chapter 8 Creating and Publishing a Map

Viewing a Report

When users want to view a report, Autodesk MapGuide Author or Autodesk
MapGuide Viewer sends a request to the URL defined for the report, sending
as parameters the map feature keys that you specified and any optional
parameters defined for the report. The report engine extracts the data from
sources on the server, creates the report, and then sends it either to the user
or somewhere else, depending on how the report was designed.
You use the View Report command to view a report for selected features or

for a specific point you click in the map.
For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
and look up "reports, viewing."
To keep track of access to your map, you can set a tracking ID that is stored
with the map. When users access a map that has a tracking ID, every action
they perform (such as panning or zooming) can be logged by Autodesk
MapGuide Server. Using Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin, you can then
run a report to monitor usage based on the tracking ID. This can be useful,
for example, if you want to charge customers for using your maps.
You use the Security tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to
specify a tracking ID for a map.
For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
and look up "tracking ID."
Saving your map as a Map Window File (MWF) is the last step in creating
your map. However, as with all software applications, it is a good idea to save
periodically to avoid lost work if your system fails.
