Custom WMS and WMTS

Version

Functions

You can customize WMS and WMTS in Map Configuration of the FineReport decision-making system.

WMS and WMTS published through map tools like ArcGIS can be used to display offline maps within a local area network.

Note:

Map services can be searched and built according to users' needs. Map services in different servers may vary.

Creating a Layer in the Decision-Making System

1. In the designer, choose Server > Map Configuration, log in to the decision-making system, and redirect to the map configuration page.

2. Select Custom GIS Layer, create a directory, and name it. Select the created directory, select WMS, and enter the URL. You can search online for available WMS.

For example, enter the URL https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms? and click Load Layer. According to the corresponding WMS protocol, available layers are further obtained for selection, with all options selected by default.

Click Save in the upper right corner of the designer and the settings take effect.

Applying GIS Layer on Template Map

After synchronizing geographic files, you can select the created WMS layer under Type > Basic > GIS Layer > Custom in any template of the designer.

The map layer effect in the template preview is shown in the following figure.

GIS layers are supported in both mobile terminals and HTML5 end. The effect is shown in the following figure.

Customizing WMS in a Single Template

You can set custom WMS for the current template separately.

Choose Type > GIS Layer > Custom > Custom WMS, enter the URL, and click Connect. According to the corresponding WMS protocol, available layers are further obtained for selection, with all options unselected by default.

Notes

1. If images fail to be loaded after you click Load Layer, check whether the parameters concatenated in the URL are the same with the default concatenated parameters. Currently, concatenated parameters cannot be customized.

&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=Layer name &STYLES=&FORMAT=image/jpeg&TRANSPARENT=false&HEIGHT=256&WIDTH=256&SRS=EPSG:3857&BBOX=Coordinates

2. In FineReport versions before V11.0.6, only the projection method EPSG:3857 is supported in WMS. In FineReport versions after V11.0.6, three projection methods—EPSG:3857, EPSG:4326, and EPSG:3395 are supported.

Creating a Layer in the Decision-Making System
