WebFOCUS Report Component

The WebFOCUS Report component is accessed from the WebFOCUS menu control drop-down list. This component opens on the right side of the screen under the component manager or under the last opened component.

The report procedures are available for each currently visible layer on the map. As a result of scale-dependent rendering, all map layers may not be visible at all times. If only one layer is visible that has report procedures associated with it, then the Reports drop-down list will contain the list of reports for that layer. If multiple layers that have report procedures associated with them are visible, then the Layers drop-down list will display the layer names. As the layer is selected, the Reports drop-down list will display report procedures for that layer.

After the report procedure is selected, you must select a feature set from the map. The selection methods available in the WebFOCUS Report component are point, free-hand, line, and free-hand polygon. If no selection is made, then the default selection of a rectangle is assumed.

To run another report that will use an existing map selection, select the report from the drop-down list and click Run Report. No selection operation is required. To clear the selected map, click the Clear Selection icon or close the WebFOCUS Report component.

To open a more detailed view that allows you to perform more advanced map selections, click More Options, as shown in the following image.
