Performing Predefined Queries

This feature is valid for the following product flavors: Geospatial Portal; GeoMedia WebMap Essentials. For Geospatial Portal this feature is accessible only if portal is run in GWMPub.aspx layout.

The Query command  (available on the toolbar) lets you perform a series of attribute-based, predefined queries on data from the selected sources.

To perform predefined query:

1. Click the Query window icon on the toolbar. The Queries dialog box will be displayed.
2. In the Queries dialog box, expand the Select features in field and select a predefined query from the list. The query description and parameters field for the chosen query will appear below.
3. Provide the values for the query parameters in the appropriate fields.

   There are different predefined queries for a single feature class, thus the description and parameter field may vary depending on the selected data sources and classes.

   It may happen that a non-parameterized query is defined for a given feature class. In such a case, you cannot change the query parameter value for that query.

4. Type the name for the query in the Save as field or leave the default one. By default, the name of the query consists of a query number that is updated automatically after each query execution and feature class name on which the query is performed.
5. Select the options for the executed query:
   • With style - If selected, you can change the graphic style for the result query layer that will be displayed on the map. If the With style option is unchecked, the layer will be displayed with the default style.
   • Add to map - If selected, the layer with the query result will be added to the Map Content and displayed on the map.
   • Add to data window - If selected, the tab with the query result will be displayed in the Data Window.

   

The predefined queries are supported only with registered GeoMedia WebMap Publisher service.

Simplified Query Panel
