Create and define a path to the SWD

WebMap uses SIS-native SWD files to mine information for Local Knowledge. This SWD will not be displayed in WebMap itself – it is used purely for analysis. A sample Local Knowledge SWD is included with standard installations of WebMap 9.1. [C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SISWebMap9.1\SWD\ Local Knowledge 9-1 UK.swd]

The sample SWD has preset Local Knowledge configuration; it also include templates that are accessible through the WebMap Manager site.

Configuring the SWD

Each search query in Local Knowledge requires a separate overlay in the SWD. SWDs are created and edited in our desktop product CadcorpSIS Desktop

Overlays in the Local Knowledge SWD are displayed as Local Knowledge results.

Select Properties > Schema to choose the specific information sets to be displayed in the results. To do this:

  1. Open Overlay Properties

  2. Select “Schema”

  3. Select the desired layer

  4. Enable items to be displayed in WebMap Local knowledge.

  5. Click Apply.

Ensure you have enabled map tips for the schema columns. Local Knowledge uses these map tips to filter data; they are particularly useful to limit the amount of data GeognoSIS/WebMap needs to sift through.

Defining the path to the SWD

Specify the path to the SWD in Add Local Knowledge.

Each overlay represents a different type of query. Possible queries are:
