In some situations it is desirable to show previously submitted reports on a Logger Map. These can come from two places: a third-party data source, or from iShare’s internal report storage. These are still iShare Standard Layers, just configured to use report data.

These layers are configured as per any other Standard Layer. The data in the layer could be used by a web application that is embedding Logger, or they could be used for purely informational purposes, e.g. to try an reduce duplicate reports.

The report data could to imported into iShare’s database using Workflow. Alternatively it could be present as spatial data in another database available to https://astuntech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISHAREHELP/pages/37388609. In either case it can be configured as a https://astuntech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISHAREHELP/pages/32571617.

Reports made through the use of Logger ReportManager are stored as records in the ishare._fl_incidents table in the maps database (formally public.at_incidents in the iShareData database in iShare Maps <= v5.8). To display these on the map requires a Layer to be created in the Map Source used by Logger.
