Print task example with attribute table on printout

KevinMacLeod1

Anyone have an example that is clean-cut and/or documented, that has a print task or print dijit that includes an Attribute table in the printout?

We're looking to include parcel info on the printout. So, if a user selects a parcel, then click a special print tool button, it fires the print task and includes the attribute table with the info for that parcel (that polygon). Anyone have a good example? I looked and oddly enough couldn't find one. I hope too that it's a fairly simple thing and perhaps works with the print Dijit which I currently have working. Or, perhaps this involves working on the Print Template MXDs? We have our own 10.2 ArcGIS Server if that helps and I can edit the print templates if I need to.

I am back researching this topic. I have found no examples or sites that have anything like this surprisingly. Has anyone else seen any sites like this?

I had hoped perhaps the Production Mapping extension might achieve this. Create a Dynamic Table in your Map Layout | ArcGIS Blog It can certainly put a table with attribute values into a map MXD in layout view that updates itself based on user selection. However the support team did not think it would carry though to the Web APIs, meaning that if I were to use this product and put a table into the Print Template MXDs it would not work.

I will now be attempting this through javascript. And perhaps backend code. One thing as suggested may just be to have the information on a second page. I am not sure how to make the Print Task have a second page or if this is possible either. I will post back results.

also silly question but is there some way to do it from the MXD? Like if we put some dynamic kind of table that points to the attribute table, and will populate itself, in the Layout view of the Print Template MXDs on the server would that work?

ykchin thank you for your reply.

I was thinking of this too. That would ok as a backup plan but we would like to get it all one one page if possible.

In fact have you done this, put the table onto a second page? Or does anyone know if there's an example even just doing that, creating a second page in the Print Dijit output PDF? what about jpg?

this seems like it could somehow be rigged to do this phantasm/README.md at master · apollolm/phantasm · GitHub But... just snapshotting the viewport as an image file seems too simple. There must be a reason ESRI does backend processing, in order to... preserver scale? (my users often ask me why the Print output is slightly different size/extent that what's on the screen, and I presume this is so the scale gets output to the pdf correctly for some reason? dpi? someone let me know how this works if there is a simple explanation) Anyway this example seems a bit overkill by bringing in node.js etc. I would think someone else has created a Print output with attrib. tables on it or included on a second page??

You could simply use JS to to create a HTML table on fly, append the table, and print the table or map w/ the table. The table can be on the second page.
