Cadcorp SIS · WebMap · Release Notes

This file lists the changes in Cadcorp SIS · WebMap · 9.1, using 9.0.3050 as the reference.

July 2024

Single layer names in My Data and Quick Access Drawer are now wrapped too avoid, where possible, horizontal scroll bars appearing.
Default templates will now fill the full height of the Feature Info dialog.
Decorated URLs have been updated to support resolutions, for reliability. The dependency on certain extensions has also be changed including:

- x,y and resolution parameters are handled by core WebMap
- dataLayer and baseLayer parameters are handled by core WebMap
- x,y and resolution with a pin requires the Coordinates extension enabled
- Zooming to a feature using overlayName, schemacolumn and uid parameters requires the Query extension enabled
An option for using a Single Tile for rendering Maps has been added to WebMap.
An optional popout dialog can be enabled for Feature Info, displaying a variable number of schema columns directly on the Map, with the option to show all columns in the left hand dialog.
Field names for required parameters when using the Graph API have been changed to reflect the values provided by Azure AD/Entra.
Copyright text can now be defined per layer, appearing when the layer is turned on. Copyright strings can be defined in the WebMap Manager except for layers within an SWD, which get their attribution from an overlay property WML::Attribution$. A default Map level copyright statement can still be used instead if required, overriding any copyrights set at a layer level.
The scale bar on PDF output could display the wrong values.
References have been updated to Cadcorp Limited.
An application stylesheet has been added to WebMap, editable through WebMap Manager. This can be used to style the Feature Information dialog with other classes to be added for the remainder of the application.
