In Product administration, you can create, edit and manage map products and product classes.
A map product - referred to as Product in the tool - is a collection of graphical components that together form a map or schema in the application's graphical view. Each map product can display a specific theme, such as geographic location information or schematic representations of selected object types.
Map products consist of one or more Product classes, which in turn contain graphical components linked to specific object types. Grouping components into product classes makes it easier to reuse the same sets in different map products and to create new products with a consistent structure and appearance. Product classes also make it easier to work with drawing attributes as these can be managed per group instead of per individual component.
|
A combination of an object type-object subtype-component type (a component) can only occur once in a product. If two product classes contain the same component, they cannot be used together without removing one of the components. |
|
To edit products and product classes, the MANAGEATTRIBUTES role is required. |
