Either original documents organizing the district or most recently available assessment.
By using the above available tools and modified style sheets we were able to maintain a similar look and feel to the main website, shown on the left. That way, when the link is changed on the agency site to redirect from the PDF file like to the interactive link, there will be a bit of continuity in appearance.
We carried that look and feel over to the other non-GIS pages associated with the site.
Here’s a better view of the site where we can view the site layout and legend. We’ve added buttons for links back to the DATCP Home page, a review of the “Legal Notice” disclaimer (which is what is displayed off the home page link prior to entering the site), and a link to provide feedback to the drainage engineer. The “Help” button launches the help document in a separate window. The toolbars use the built-in functionality of Geocortex Essentials but use our customized buttons. Data can be accessed by using the toolbar buttons: The “Get Info” button The “Select by box” button The “Search by County” button
In this window, the “Search by County” tool button was used to zoom in to Dodge county. Here we see several districts in this particular county. When we click the “Get Info” button, we can retrieve data on the feature of interest.
In this example we clicked on the District #18 polygon. The table on the left is data from the districts spatial layer in ArcSDE. The table on the right is data retrieved from the non-spatial table in SQL Server. If we click the tab labeled “Download County Board Members Report” we can generate a PDF report of the board members for Dodge County, which is where this district is located…
After a few moments, a pop up window tells us the PDF has been generated. When we click the “Download” button the PDF reader launches and we can view the report.
The report can be saved as a PDF file or can be printed. Geocortex supplies a report builder that allows us to pull data from both the layer and the datalink.
