Earthlight can be fed with a set of URL parameters to automatically log in a user, display a set point on map and execute Inspect query in this point.
List of available parameters:
| login | user login (required) |
| password | user password (required) |
| map | complete path to desired map (folder and name). Required if no map is set as a default map for the user, or if the search is supposed to be executed on a non-default map. |
| x | easting of the centre of the displayed map |
| y | northing of the centre of the displayed map |
| scale | scale of the displayed map |
| drill_down | Inspect tool execution |
| inspect_table | name of the table to be searched (the name has to include the database schema i.e. dbo.my_table) |
| inspect_field | name of the searched field in the inspect_table |
| inspect_value | value to be looked for in inspect_field |
| select_table | name of the table to be selected (the name has to include the database schema i.e. dbo.my_table) |
| select_field | name of the selected column from the select_table |
| select_value | value to be selected from the select_field |
| show_only_selection | when set to true, only selected records will be displayed on the map |
| beacon | when equals true, a pulsing symbol will be displayed in the map centre. Can be helpful to keep track of the initial map location. |
- to start Earthlight with a set of parameters enter your default Earthlight map URL address followed by question mark (?) and the set of parameters, e.g.: http://www.london.gov.uk/earthlight.html?login=user25&password=pass25&x=123456&y=654321
- each parameter name has to be followed by an equals sign (=) and its value, e.g. login=user25
- parameters are separated with an ampersand (&), e.g. login=user25&password=pass25
- map value has to be a complete path to the desired map (including folder name)
- there are two ways of setting map’s viewpoint:
- using pair of easting and northing parameters (much like Go To Coords tool)
- using inspect_table, inspect_field, inspect_value set of parameters (much like Find In Layer tool)
- drill_down has only one value drill_down=true (this parameter can be omitted if Inspect tool execution is not required)
