The travel rates typically apply to a state or several counties. I think that this can be done using ArcGIS webparts and a sharepoint list, but i'm not quite sure of how to approach this. Will this require custom code?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>TIA</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Dean</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:07:13 GMT DeanGross 2012-11-01T10:07:13Z Display data for an Area/region https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-for-sharepoint-questions/display-data-for-an-area-region/m-p/298331#M840 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>How can i put a region/area into a sharepoint list instead of a specific address? i'm interested in creating a list containing allowable per diem travel rates that would display when a user hovers an area on a map.

We are doing this with countries, but I see no reason why it couldn't work for states/provinces or similar.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You will need to create a custom geocoding service. It's pretty simple. Take whatever polygon layer (e.g. US States). Convert that to centroid. Create a geocoder out of that point layer and publish it. Point SharePoint and your Location field at it. So they wouldn't be able to hover over 'Oklahoma' but you'd get a marker in the middle of Oklahoma they could hover over. Combine that with decent symbology of your borders and it seems functional to me at least.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Only thing to watch out for is cases where you have a very geographically dispersed polygon. For example if you take the "US" and create a centroid you may end up with something weird since it'll include Hawaii/Alaska/etc. So you may have to tweak it a bit, but for most admin boundaries it works fine.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:56:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-for-sharepoint-questions/display-data-for-an-area-region/m-p/298332#M841 BrianRusso 2012-11-01T19:56:12Z
