Creating an interactive table (Production Mapping)

Choosing the type of graphic table element

In an interactive table, the number of rows and columns, as well as their contents and appearance, can be manually controlled. An interactive table can have its elements, such as text and symbols, linked to layers in ArcMap via table fields so they are dynamic and update dynamically. However, an interactive table can also be composed of static graphics and text and does not have to be data driven.

You can only add this table in layout view.

手順:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the main menu, click View → Layout View.
  3. On the main menu, click Insert → Graphic Table Element.

    The New Table dialog box appears.

    Select Interactive format
  4. Click Interactive in the Available formats list.

Defining interactive table properties

The interactive table properties include the number of rows you want to include in the table as well as the data sources you want to reference. You can also choose to map fields in the data source to table fields and define a filter to determine which features are included in the table.

手順:
  1. Click Wizard.

    The Interactive table properties dialog box appears.

    Interactive table properties dialog box
  2. Type the number of table rows you want in the Rows count text box.
  3. Type the number of table columns you want in the Columns count text box.
  4. Click a data source in the Data sources list if you want to define a data source.

    Choosing a data source causes the Always synchronized with data frame, Define Fields, and Define Filters check boxes to appear.

  5. Check the Always synchronized with data frame check box if you want any changes made to the data source to be reflected dynamically in the graphic table.
  6. Check the Define Fields check box if you want to map data source fields to table fields.
  7. Check the Define Filters check box if you want to define filters that will determine which data items (features) will be returned for each layer.
  8. Click Next.

    The Set Table Format dialog box appears.

Setting the table format

Graphic table elements have several formatting options. You can manually set table width and height, allow the element to resize itself to fit data, or set both dimensions to a fixed size. You can customize the unit types for width and height. Graphic table elements also have different methods of merging or grouping data.

手順:
  1. Click the Width drop-down arrow and choose one of the following:
    • Table Design—Resizes the cell based on the definition on the Table Design dialog box
    • Auto Fit cells—Automatically adjusts the cell size based on the content within the cell
    • Expand cells—Allows cells to expand to fit content size, but does not allow cells to be made smaller
    • Fixed Size—Allows you to specify the width of the cell in the Size text box
  2. If you choose the Fixed Size option in the drop-down list, click the Units drop-down arrow and choose the unit of measurement you want to use.
    注意注意:

    When the Fixed Size option is selected for both Width and Height, the Save aspect ratio while resizing table check box becomes available.

  3. Type a size in the Size text box.
  4. Click the Height drop-down arrow and choose one of the following:
    • Table Design—Resizes the cell based on the definition on the Table Design dialog box
    • Auto Fit cells—Automatically adjusts the cell size based on the content within the cell
    • Expand cells—Allows cells to expand to fit content size, but does not allow cells to be made smaller
    • Fixed Size—Allows you to specify the width of the cell in the Size text box
  5. If you choose the Fixed Size option in the drop-down list, click the Units drop-down arrow and choose the unit of measurement you want to use.
    注意注意:

    When the Fixed Size option is selected for both Width and Height, the Save aspect ratio while resizing table check box becomes available.

  6. Type a size in the Size text box.
  7. If you checked only the Always synchronized with data frame check box or neither of the check boxes, the Set Table Format dialog box contains a Finish button. You have two options:
  8. If you checked the Define Fields or Define Filters check box on the Interactive table properties dialog box, the Set Table Format dialog box contains a Next button. You have two options:
    • Check the Enable automatic merging cells check box and continue to the next section if you want to define merge options for the cells in the table.
    • Click Next, skip the next section on defining merge options, then continue to Defining table fields or Defining filters.

Defining merge options for cells in the table

Merge options that are available from the Set Table Format dialog box allow you to define the table so adjacent cells with identical content are automatically merged into one cell. For example, choosing to merge a row of cells containing 1,2,3,4,4,4,5,4,4,4,5 by identical rows would result in a row of cells that displays as 1,2,3,4,5,4,5.

Before cells are merged, cell contents are compared based on what you choose in the Compare cells by drop-down list.

手順:
  1. Check the Enable automatic merging cells check box on the Set Table Format dialog box to define merging options.
  2. Click Merging options.

    The Merge options dialog box appears.

    • Identical columns of cells—Merges identical cells by column
    • Identical rows and columns of cells (priority: rows)—Merges identical cells by row, then by column
    • Identical rows and columns of cells (priority: columns)—Merges identical cells by column, then by row
  4. Click the Compare cells by drop-down arrow and choose one of the following:
    • Elements values, formats, and cell properties—Cells are compared by associated value attributes and backgrounds. For example, field elements are compared by field values, text elements are compared by text values, and so on.
    • Elements values and formats—Cells are compared by text values, text symbols, markers, fills, and line dimensions.
    • Elements values—Cells are compared by text and symbol values.
  5. Click OK.

    The Set Table Format dialog box appears.
