As the data manipulation is being done on the Insight server, the configuration in the Studio is straightforward.

  1. Create the Data Share connection to Insight PostGIS database view
  2. Define the Workflow Task to create the asset map layer
  3. Define the Logger MapSource & the integration with Insight
  4. Define the Fault asset layer

 

Steps 1 & 3 are covered in the basic iShare Studio topics as per links; Steps 2 & 4 are covered below.

Define Workflow Task to Create the Asset Map Layer

We need to create a task to pull the spatial data from the Insight database view into a Shape file to display the information on the map. It could just as equally be a MapInfo file.

The resulting file name must match that which you have defined in your .map file [without the .shp extension].

Define the Faults Layer

You need to define the layer as a fault layer in order to allow the citizen to report a fault.

Right click on the Faults node and select to Add a new layer.

The Logger configuration references the BRIGAssets layer configured in the .map file as per the above.

Fault Interface

Display Name

This is the name to display for the link to the e-form.

Maximum Zoom for a fault to be reported at

This entry allows you to set a maximum zoom level at which a citizen can report a fault. This will determine the accuracy of the returned easting and northing coordinates.

Layer

This is the layer that is used to plot information on the map about the particular fault type. If you are using an Asset ID it shows the locations of the asset e.g. street lights. This could also be used to show previously reported faults.

Asset ID

Fields

Here we select the field that represents the Asset ID to be passed to the e-form for fault reporting. In this case it needs to be symlink which was the unique identifier for both asset types.

Fields

Description

If there is a field that you would like to use as a Description field then enter the name here. In this example we have a field called Desc which holds the description of the Bridge asset.
