Configuring FindIT

Select FindIT from the main drop-down menu to open all configuration options.

There are two distinct sections:

1. Configure Map Search

GeognoSIS URL

GeognoSIS instance e.g: http://:4325/GeognoSIS/9

SWD Path

Local path to SWD which holds all constraint data e.g: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SISWebMap9.0\\App_Data\Data\UK\WM9UK.swd

Table Template Path

Path to Word document which can be edited to change structure of PDF output (specifically the format of the sections where each layer’s results are output.

Front Template Path

Path to the Word document which can be edited to change front page of PDF output.

Back Template Path

Path to the Word document which can be edited to change back page of PDF output.

Row Height

Used to calculate how many attributes per feature will be added to a page.

Page Height

Height of a page in the PDF; it is broadly the usable height in a page measured in cm.

Timeout (ms)

Timeout limit for service to respond. This should not normally need to be changed.

Save to Database

Enable to save search information to Database.

Show Attributes Dialog

Option to display a full separate dialog of attribute information when search results are displayed

TIP: For a well laid-out template with no data cutoff around the margins, we recommend setting a Page Height of 23 and a Row Height of 0.7.

2. Service Config

Database Connection

Select already configured database connections from the drop-down menu. Related Topics Link IconRelated Topics

Searches Table

Database table name where search information will be recorded.

Constraints Table

Database table name where all constraints are listed (linked to the SearchesTable).

Constraint Search Enabled Property

Configurable property required on each overlay in the ConstraintSWD which will include the layer in the search. By default this is set to WML::ConstraintSearchEnabled& and should not be changed.

Remember to keep constraint search layers to a minimum. More layers to search will result in a significantly larger JSON object. It will also fail after reaching the maximum allowance quickly. We recommend keeping the search areas sufficiently small especially if using polygon items.

MasterMap Property ID

Configurable identifying attribute used when multiple MasterMap features are selected. (Case sensitive. Ensure this value matches the case in the SWD schema)

Minimum Search Resolution

Set to 500 to prevent the Zoom restriction dialog appearing.

GeognoSIS Ping Interval

Ping interval to keep session alive. This value can be left unchanged on the default value (1140000).
