Matching Geographic Roles (City) with Direct-administered Municipalities/Taiwan

Problem

Currently, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Macao Special Administrative Region are at the Province/City/Autonomous Region level in the FineBI map.

They cannot be matched with the City level when you create a map, as shown in the following figure.

This document introduces how to match directly-administrative municipalities, Taiwan (China), and special administrative regions with the City level in detail.

Solution

Create JSON files for these regions and add JSON files to the %FineBI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\assets\map\geographic\world\China\ path (where FineBI JSON files are stored).

JSON File Download

1. You can download the JSON file JSON File Package.rar.

Decompress the JSON file package and add files in the JSON package to the %FineBI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\assets\map\geographic\world\China\ path, as shown in the following figure.

JSON File Taking Effect

Log in to the system as the admin, choose System Management > Map Configuration, and click Sync Geo File, as shown in the following figure.

Take the Macao Special Administrative Region as an example. The same operation can be applied to other regions.

JSP File Creation

Add two empty JSON files in the %FineBI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\assets\map\geographic\world\China\ path, as shown in the following figure.

JSON File Edit

1. Open the Macao Special Administrative Region-area.json and the Macao Special Administrative Region-point.json files through an editor and add the same code to both of these two empty files, as shown in the following figure.

The code is as follows:

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": []
}

2. Return to the %FineBI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\assets\map\geographic\world\ path, open the China-area.json file, copy and paste the Feature structure of the Macao Special Administrative Region to the features: [] array in the Macao Special Administrative Region-area.json file, and save the file, as shown in the following figure.

3. Return to the %FineBI_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF\assets\map\geographic\world\ path, open the China-point.json file, copy and paste the Feature structure of the Macao Special Administrative Region to the features: [] array in the Macao Special Administrative Region-point.json file, and save the file, as shown in the following figure.

4. After completion, you can refer to section "JSON File Taking Effect" to make the JSON file effective.
