Including fields from Data Share in your Layer

Overview

Data Share connections (Standard and Internal) create a table within the local public schema in the iShareData database on which joins can then be created.

The Classic Layer that you wish to use with a Data Share link needs to have an underlying MapServer .MAP file LAYER entry, this data does NOT have to be in the public schema, this could even be a shape or tab file for example.

Steps

If you wish to include information (fields) from Data Share click on the Data Share button at the bottom of the Layer dialog.

The Name, Help Info and Query Field information cannot be changed via the iShare Studio as these have been predefined when creating the Data Share connection.

To add a new Datasource click on the  icon and you will see the following dialog.

DataSource Name

Select a data source from the list of available entries.

Query Field

This entry has been predefined when creating the data source and is purely for information.

Unique Field

Select the field that is to be used to match against the Query Field.

To remove a DataSource select the entry from the list and click on the  icon.
