Adding data in Studio

The LocalInfo control allows you to get the information in two ways. You can either retrieve the HTML version which can be output directly onto your page, or you can retrieve the XML values directly so that you can generate the HTML yourself.

As the raw data is not usually available in the database, it will need to be added - outside of iShare. To do this, you will need to create and populate a new column for each value type and you must suffix the name of the column with “_RAW”, as seen in the image below. This indicates to iShare Maps that this data is not part of the HTML and should only be output as part of the raw values.

The DataSource would then need to be updated in Studio, see Selecting fields to display, to pick up the new fields.
