Phase Three: Implementation - Autodesk 15606-011408-9320 - MAPGUIDE R6.3 CPU MODEL-UPG 4/5 MIN 2 CPUS INITL User Manual

Do you want to display more or less data depending on the current
scale? If so, create multiple layers of the same area that turn on and off
at particular display ranges.


Will the data on this layer be used in any reports? If so, make a note to
add this layer to the Report tab when you set up your reports.
4 Design your Autodesk MapGuide application. This involves determining
the following:


How will the user interact with Autodesk MapGuide Viewer and the
web page? For example, will the user have to select features on the map,
or will you add a list box to the web page that allows the user to select
a map feature from the list?


Depending on which functionality you want to add to the web page,
which Autodesk MapGuide functions do you need to use in order to
provide this functionality?


Do you need to create other applications and scripts, such as CGI
scripts? For example, if you want to allow the user to digitize points on
the map and update the database with the new locations, you need to
write a script to handle this.

Phase Three: Implementation

In Phase Three, you implement your Autodesk MapGuide application
according to the plan you developed in Phase Two.
To implement your application
1 If you will be installing additional servers, do so now and test them as you
did in Phase One.
2 Create a skeleton of your application (without the MWF), creating place-
holders and pseudo-code for your features and functions.
3 If you are not using a data extension to access data directly, perform data
conversion, and then put the converted files in necessary locations. If you
create any additional databases, go back to Phase One and create and test
OLE DB data sources for each database you add.
4 Create the report scripts or applications that Autodesk MapGuide will use
to generate reports.
5 Create the Zoom Goto data.
6 Build the map according to your plan. This includes creating the layers,
and then adding the reports and Zoom Goto categories to the Map Win-
dow Properties dialog box.
