Client Actions MapTips

Map tips provide the user with the ability to quickly retrieve information about entities underneath the mouse cursor.

They use data definitions to supply the data meaning that the data available to the user can come from any provider, not just the attributes attached to the underlying spatial feature.

The map tip tool can query any entity and is not dependent upon the active entity. The user chooses from the map tip menu what data they're interested in and when they move the mouse around the map that's what they'll be presented with.

Properties

name	description
minScale	This can be set at the action level, the tip level or not at all, and specifies the minimum scale below which no map tips will be shown to the user.
maxScale	This can be set at the action level, the tip level or not at all, and specifies the maximum scale above which no map tips will be shown to the user.
radius	This can be set at the action level, the tip level or not at all, and specifies the radius, in map units, of the area to be searched based on the mouse location.
pressed	This sets the initial state of the map tip and is off by default. Setting it to turn will turn on map tip at startup. This can only be set at the action level.
multipleMaximum	If the search returns more than this many results, the default being 1, then `multipleText` will be shown to the user instead of the results. If this many or less results are available then they're all shown. This can only be set at the action level.
multipleText	The text to show to the user if more than `multipleMaximum` results are available. The default is 'There are too many features at that location'. This can only be set at the action level.
isDefault	Should be set to 'true' in the tip that should be enabled by default.
tip	A tip tag must be created for each set of data that's to be made available to the user for display in a map tip. Only available at the action level.
data	The name of a Data configured that provides the data for this particular tip. Only available at the tip level.
datadefinition	The name of a Data Definition configured that provides the data for this particular tip. Only available at the tip level.
entity	The Entity that the datadefinition for the tip is associated with. Only available at the tip level.
label	The label to display for this particular tip. Only available at the tip level.

Notes

Only one of data or datadefinition should be set
If datadefintion is set then entity and label should also be set
If data is set then entity does not need to be set (and will be ignored)
If data is set then label isn't required, but will override the label set for the given data if set
